Abstract

ABSTRACT This qualitative study examines how health professionals working in paediatrics understand and practice spiritual care. Semi-structured interviews were held with six paediatric health professionals. Domains of interest were understanding spiritual care, training in spiritual care and culture in spiritual care. An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis approach was used. The study findings revealed that health professionals held various views on what spiritual care consisted of. Spiritual care of children was seen to be different to that of adults, an understanding of child development and a family’s culture was considered essential. As this study was New Zealand based, the inclusion of Māori Tikanga (traditional practices) were considered to enhance spiritual care. Participants stated there was a lack of training available in the spiritual care of children. Education and opportunities for peer and self-reflection would support health professionals to develop an awareness of their own views on spiritual care and enhance their practice.

卫生专业人员如何为重病儿童提供精神护理？

本质性研究探讨了在儿科工作的卫生专业人员如何理解和实践精神护理。与6名儿科保健专业人员进行了半结构化访谈。感兴趣的领域是理解精神护理，精神护理培训和精神护理文化。本研究采用解释性现象学分析方法。研究结果显示，卫生专业人员对精神护理的组成有不同的看法。对儿童的精神照顾被视为不同于对成人的精神照顾，对儿童发展和家庭文化的了解被认为是必不可少的。由于这项研究是在新西兰进行的，因此纳入Māori Tikanga(传统做法)被认为可以增强精神护理。与会者说，缺乏对儿童精神关怀方面的培训。教育以及同侪和自我反省的机会将有助于保健专业人员了解自己对精神护理的看法，并加强其实践。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
