Ever since the first edition of Verna Benner Carson's Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Practice  went out of print, second-hand copies have been highly sought after by  practitioners in the field and nursing school faculty who appreciated  the comprehensive scope of the seminal work on spirituality and health.  In this highly anticipated revised edition, Carson and her co-editor,  Harold G. Koenig, have thoroughly revised and updated this classic in  the field. The revised edition builds on the foundations laid in the first,  providing perspectives on new research in the spiritual dimensions of  nursing care, applying nursing theory to spiritual care, and addressing  the spiritual needs of both nurses and patients. It also examines  ethical issues in nursing and the impact of legal decisions on health  care issues. Contributors address issues of spiritual development across  the entire lifespan—from the spiritual needs and influences of the very  young to the elderly, including those facing chronic illnesses or  death. The volume takes a similarly broad approach in addressing  spiritual issues from a variety of faith backgrounds—including both  theistic and pantheistic religious practices, so that nurses can be  prepared to meet the needs of patients from various religious  traditions. Second to chaplains, nurses are the major providers of spiritual care, and no other book will serve their needs like Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Practice.
