Nursing students and new graduates often feel overwhelmed and unprepared when they encounter death or a dying patient in clinical settings, leading to emotional distress and inadequate care for the dying patient and their loved ones. The emotional impact of such experiences affects not only the nursing student but also the well-being of family members and the quality of care delivered to the patient. This article explores the importance and need for holistic death education for nursing students and new-to-practice nurses to carry out comprehensive assessments that address the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of families who might be losing their loved ones. The discussion offers suggestions and examples of what nursing education can provide, drawing on the perspectives of those who were once new nurses and reflecting on what they wish they had known before caring for the dying, handling death, and supporting those left behind. Implications focus on approaches for family assessment and self-assessment after death and potential considerations for structural changes in healthcare.","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"8980101251329758"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744427","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}

Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilized. The study recruited 538 registered nurses from four referral hospitals in Jordan. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and Hayes Macro PROCESS model 6. Results: The average age of the 538 nurses was 35.75 years; 62.1% were female, and 96.6% were married. Bivariate correlations showed moderate correlations among all study variables. Decision fatigue negatively correlated with spiritual care competence, spiritual well-being, and resilience. The regression model indicated that spiritual well-being, resilience, and decision fatigue significantly predicted spiritual care competence, explaining about half of its variance. The bootstrapping analysis revealed that resilience significantly mediated the relationship between spiritual well-being and spiritual care competence, while the mediation role of decision fatigue was not significant. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of spiritual well-being and resilience in enhancing nurses' spiritual care competence, aligning with the overarching goals of holistic nursing in creating a healing environment for both patients and caregivers. Nurse managers and educators should implement interventions to improve nurses' spiritual well-being and resilience, enhancing holistic care delivery.","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"8980101251325285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701405","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}

Methods: Using Walker and Avant's methodology for concept analysis, we conducted a thorough and comprehensive literature search. Findings: Resourceful aging among migrants and refugees is characterized by adaptability, social connectedness, resilience, and resource navigation. Key antecedents include access to basic needs and services, social and community support, cultural familiarity and integration, legal status stability, and culturally competent services. Consequences include improved well-being, social integration, reduced reliance on social services, intergenerational bonds, empowerment, and cultural identity preservation. Conclusions: Resourceful aging among migrants and refugees involves adapting to aging in a new country by embracing changing circumstances and utilizing available resources, enabling well-being, personal agency, and resilience. This process preserves cultural heritage while adapting to new environments, balancing adaptation with identity. The integration of holistic nursing principles into resourceful aging among migrants and refugees can foster more inclusive and healthy communities.","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"8980101251323012"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651970","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}

Method: Using a pretest-posttest parallel controlled design, 102 nurses from the King Abdullah University Hospital were randomly assigned into experimental (n = 51) and control (n = 51) groups. The experimental group received 5 weeks of individual 30-min mindfulness intervention sessions via WhatsApp. The collected data included demographic information as well as baseline and postintervention scores from the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Findings: Paired t-tests revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as higher trait mindfulness scores following the intervention. Independent t-tests indicated that, compared to the control group, the experimental group had significantly reduced depression and stress levels and increased trait mindfulness scores at the end of the intervention. Although anxiety scores were lower in the experimental group following the intervention, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion: This finding aligns with existing literature, which has reported similar outcomes in studies on mindfulness interventions.

Design of Study: Descriptive mixed methods study. Method: Sixteen participants were provided with two or three 15-20-min mindfulness sessions. Data were collected before and after each session on blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate, anxiety, and pain. The participants were interviewed before their discharge. Findings: Eight participants (n = 8) received two and eight (n = 8) three sessions. Decreasing blood pressure and lower heart rates were noted after the sessions. Also, decreasing pain scores were found, especially in participants who attended two sessions. Minor decrease in anxiety scores were noticed in participants who attended three sessions. Two major themes emerged from the interviews: healing and restoration of health and becoming in tune with self. These themes were characterized by study participants' reflections on experience of recovery, progression to physical relaxation, pathway to serenity, awareness of emotions, evolution of perceptions and experiences of mindfulness. Conclusions: The physiological changes to mindfulness intervention, composed of two or three sessions, were minor and challenging to measure to demonstrate effects. However, study participants' experiences were very positive and suggest that this intervention could prove to be beneficial for colorectal surgical patients.","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"8980101251321963"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651966","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}

This study explored the experiences of women with multiple sclerosis when using the Opal Cool Wrap related to heat intolerance, a complementary alternative therapy. Methods: Quantitative analysis of results from surveys from 62 women and seven qualitative semi-structured interviews with a subset of women who completed the surveys validated and illustrated the quantitative findings. Findings: Significant improvement in perceived severity for health transition, physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and social functioning based on pre-/post-cooling therapy use. Three themes emerged from seven interviews: (1) being overheated impacts the quality of life; (2) cool wrap, a helpful tool for managing heat symptoms; and (3) strategies to remain cool. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive mixed-methods lens on the unique challenges women with multiple sclerosis face and information for disease management. Heat-related multiple sclerosis symptom clusters and Uhthoff's phenomenon women experience are common and impact safety, independence, health, and quality of life. Identifying complementary strategies such as cool showers and a cooling device to prevent and manage heat-related symptoms is a priority.","PeriodicalId":51615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"84-98"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630933","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}

The objective was to determine if spiritual self-care practices correlated with diabetes self-care practices among African Americans. Design: A descriptive research design was used for African Americans living in a Midwestern urban area. Participants were at least 18 years of age and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Participants were excluded if they had a diagnosis of type 1 or gestational diabetes, and/or a history of dementia or psychiatric illness. Method: Ninety African American participants between 28 and 88 years of age completed four instruments to measure diabetes knowledge, diabetes self-care practices, and spiritual self-care practices. Findings: Statistically significant correlations were found between general diet and diabetic self-care practices, spiritual self-care practices, physical spiritual self-care practices, and interpersonal spiritual self-care practices. Conclusion: This research project provided evidence that nursing staff caring for African Americans diagnosed with type 2 DM may consider incorporating spiritual self-care practices with other holistic self-care practices when helping African Americans manage their DM.
