Medical science is just beginning to understand the important role a patient's faith may play in coping with life-threatening illnesses, chronic problems, and life's terminal stages. Spiritual Care in Gerontological Nursing--one of eight titles in the professional series Spirituality in Nursing, produced by Memorial University of Newfoundland--addresses gerontological nursing care that takes the older patient's spiritual beliefs into consideration, encouraging caregivers to look for verbal and non-verbal cues that will enable the caregiver to help support the patient/client's belief system, and work with families. Designed to help nurses and caregivers recognize that patients are spiritual beings who express spirituality in a variety of ways--organized religion being just one--this is a good niche title for academic nursing programs and organizations offering related continuing education. The other titles in the series (series price: $995) are: Spirituality, Nurses and Spiritual Care, Spiritual Assessment, Spirituality in Mental Health Care, Spiritual Care and Life-Threatening Illnesses, Spiritualiy in Palliative Care, and Spiritual Care and Chronic Health Problems.
