Zusammenfassung:This descriptive qualitative study was planned to determine the spiritual care needs of patients hospitalized in the oncology department and nursing care practices. Twenty-five patients and 15 nurses were interviewed. Concerning the spiritual care practices expected from nurses, the following themes were determined: Interest-Compassion, Smiling Face, Confidence, Being Informative, Morale, and Understanding. The themes for spiritual nursing practices were Chatting-Suggesting, Smiling Face, Giving Opportunities for Religious Practice, Love and Belonging, Giving Hope-Precedent Examples, and Giving Information. Patients expected nurses to ask about their spiritual needs. However, nurses did not ask about spiritual issues because they were afraid of affecting patients adversely.
