Hypnosis.

Abstract

Hypnosis has considerable potential for use within nursing practice. The possible applications are wide-ranging and it is a therapy which gives clients responsibility for their own healing. Whether it can be used effectively in the clinical setting depends largely on the clients' willingness to manage their own health care; the therapist acts only as a facilitator of the healing process.

A review of spirituality as applied to nursing.

In this paper a review of spirituality as applied to nursing is carried out. In doing so, it is shown that the holistic understanding of spirituality has been derived almost exclusively from the Christian theological tradition. Whilst recognizing the importance of this tradition, the relatively unknown element, that is, the biological basis of spirituality as advanced by empirical research on spiritual awareness is brought to the debate in this review. Following the review, an operational definition of spirituality embracing its biological roots is provided to highlight its significance to nursing.
