In this highly anticipated revised edition, Carson and her co-editor, Harold G. Koenig, have thoroughly revised and updated this classic in the field.    The revised edition builds on the foundations laid in the first, providing perspectives on new research in the spiritual dimensions of nursing care, applying nursing theory to spiritual care, and addressing the spiritual needs of both nurses and patients. It also examines ethical issues in nursing and the impact of legal decisions on health care issues. Contributors address issues of spiritual development across the entire lifespan—from the spiritual needs and influences of the very young to the elderly, including those facing chronic illnesses or death. The volume takes a similarly broad approach in addressing spiritual issues from a variety of faith backgrounds—including both theistic and pantheistic religious practices, so that nurses can be prepared to meet the needs of patients from various religious traditions.     Second to chaplains, nurses are the major providers of spiritual care, and no other book will serve their needs like Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394014941457,"sku":"CIN1599471450G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51692958613777,"sku":"CIN1599471450A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52627841057041,"sku":"CIN1599471450VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1599471450.jpg?v=1761391710"},{"product_id":"parish-nursing-book-verna-benner-carson-9781890151942","title":"Parish Nursing","description":"Parish nursing presents a new approach to healthcare as well as pastoral care, linking together the spiritual and medical communities. With today's over-burdened healthcare system and an aging population, the need for parish nursing is becoming crucial. The parish nurse could be a key link between the two systems, providing truly wholistic care. \"Parish Nursing\" describes the preparation needed to become a parish nurse and looks at several leaders in the parish nurse movement, presenting the steps needed to initiate a program and look at the future of parish nursing in the areas of clinical practice, education, and research. The appendix includes: parish nursing curricula, resources for parish nursing, sample surveys and assessment tools, and a sample healing service. Stories from parish nurses illustrate their work as health advocates and educators, counselors, and integrators of faith and health.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403013722385,"sku":"CIN1890151947G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50507209441553,"sku":"CIN1890151947VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1890151947.jpg?v=1750866778"},{"product_id":"care-giving-for-alzheimer-s-disease-book-verna-benner-carson-9781493924066","title":"Care Giving for Alzheimer's Disease","description":"Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer's and other dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they decline.
