A descriptor that was identified as one way of providing psychosocial support in this study is spiritual support. The nurses, patients, and family members perceived spiritual support as one aspect of care that is important if we are to be holistic in the care we provide. A nurse spoke about being proactive in rendering care that includes spiritual support:
Nurses should offer services to family members, not just services regarding the care, but spiritual–offer whatever the hospital has. Caring is not only physical, but also spiritual-wise. Sometimes I forget to do that. Those with dying patients let them know that we have a chapel and that’s there whatever religion they have. I think we should be doing that more.
