This philosophical analysis examines patient-initiated prayer from a holistic nursing perspective, bringing spiritual coping theory, accounts of vulnerability and fiduciary trust, conceptions of dignity and personhood, and cultural humility into dialog. Prayer may represent fear, meaning-making, gratitude, surrender, cultural identity, or personal agency as responsibility for bodily safety shifts to the team. Its meaning cannot be determined from observation alone and should remain defined by the patient. Religious or spiritual faith and trust in anesthesia professionals need not compete but may coexist in one person. The analysis argues that ethically responsive holistic care requires recognition of possible meaning without assuming interpretive authority, together with curiosity without intrusion, relational respect, and professional boundaries. The PAUSE prompt is offered only as an unvalidated translation of these commitments into reflective practice. By reframing prayer as a possible expression of embodied, relational, and spiritual agency rather than solely a sign of anxiety, this analysis extends holistic nursing knowledge and emphasizes that acknowledging the person who remains fully present before unconsciousness is part of competent and ethically responsive anesthesia care.</p>","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"8980101261487471"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148972296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because holistic nursing regards spiritual care as a core competency, students' own spiritual resources may underpin resilience and future caregiving. This study examined whether spiritual intelligence predicts academic resilience at a faith-based Indonesian university.MethodIn a cross-sectional predictive study, 347 undergraduate and professional-program students completed validated 27-item measures of spiritual intelligence (seven dimensions) and academic resilience (four dimensions) online. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlations and simple, multiple, and hierarchical regression.ResultsSpiritual intelligence correlated strongly with academic resilience (<i>r</i> = .73, <i>p</i> < .001), explaining 52.9% of its variance.

Interpreted through the Conservation of Resources theory and the caring, unitary traditions of holistic nursing, it operates as a trainable interior resource, at once self-sustaining and other-directed.
