Orthopaedic nurses often are well-educated in dealing with patients' physical and psychologic needs but lack education in caring for the spiritual needs of man. Nurses must realize they, themselves, have spiritual needs and must invest in clarifying their own values and beliefs as well as their patients. To perform a complete spiritual assessment, nurses need to become familiar with the concept of spirituality and what it means in the care of patients. Providing spiritual care is individualized and often complex. The nursing process enables the nurse to plan patient care. Providing spiritual care is a challenge orthopaedic nurses must recognize and assume responsibility for.
