Zusammenfassung: | Background: Spiritual care is espoused to be fundamental in children's nursing; however, the extent to which current fundamental children's nursing textbooks support and advocate spiritual care delivery by children's nurses and nursing students is unknown. Aim and objectives: To examine whether or not fundamental undergraduate children's nursing textbooks include spiritual care content. Methods: Five hundred and nineteen books were sampled from the Nursing and Midwifery Core Collection list (UK) using a survey, the Spirituality Textbook Analysis Tool (STAT) to collect data. Analysis and Results: 519 books were included in the study using the STAT and 13 books included content on children's spirituality. There were a variety of textbooks in the audit of those that made reference to the search terms in the STAT, it was found that content mainly addressed only two areas; religious faiths and the dying child. Recommendations: Children's nurses require education about children's spiritual developmental stage and age appropriate spiritual assessment. A lack of detailed information in core children's nursing textbooks means that this area of nursing practice may be taught as an adjunct to care and not as an element of holistic care which is the gold standard that children's nurses should strive for. |
