Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Nursing) / Man is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual being, and his needs are informed by all these elements.
The need for spiritual care in nursing education and practice is no longer a new concept in
developed countries, nor even in some developing countries. However, in Nigeria, there is no
consistent evidence of how spirituality is taught within the nursing curriculum nor how it is
practised. The literature review also confirms that no existing set of rules or models for
integrating spiritual care into the curriculum of nursing exists in the country. If nursing care is
to be holistic, concerted attention must be paid to spiritual care, and to the training of nurses
so that they can provide spiritual care within the context of holistic care for patients in the
healthcare system. The main purpose of this academic work was to develop a model for the
integration of spiritual care-giving into the nursing curriculum. This cross-sectional study
used adapted modified Intervention Mapping (IM) strategies with a mixed method approach,
to collect in-depth information.
