Abstract
Spiritual care is an important part of nursing care. Spiritual care has a therapeutic effect on patients' recovery, so it is important to know exactly what spiritual care is. It is aimed to clarify spirituality concept and to determine the scope of use in nursing literature. Antecedents of spirituality are determined as trust, hope, love, values, and need to find purpose for life. Consequences are motivation, improved life quality, and coping with difficulties. Ensuring that the meaning of this concept is handled in all dimensions will be a guide for giving holistic nursing care and can help to prevent misconceptions.
