Abstract

Posljednjih devet godina svjedočimo ponovnom buđenju interesa koji propituje
relevantnost spiritualnog zdravlja. Sestrinstvo od pamtivijeka počiva na osjećaju
ljubavi prema bližnjima i na moralnoj ideji za “činjenjem dobrog“, ali je pojava
Kršćanstva kroz empatiju, samilost i humanu naklonost bolesnima, značajno obilježila
bit sestrinstva, shvaćenu kao integralnu skrb. Osim što sestrinstvo počiva na duhovnoj
skrbi, široko je prepoznata kroz sestrinske teorije. Pregledom radova teoretičarki
uviđamo da je duhovnost na samim počecima definiranja sestrinske prakse uvrštena u
zadaće medicinskih sestara. Pojavom holističkog zdravstvenog pokreta, uz pojam
holističke njege, sve je veći broj znanstvenika koji uviđaju značajan utjecaj
duhovnosti i religioznosti na zdravlje. Religija i duhovnost su također prepoznate kao
pozitivne strategije kod općeg zdravstvenog stanja ljudi s neurološkim bolestima.
Potreba za subspecijalizacijom u poljima neurologije i neurokirurgije pokreće novu
disciplinu sestrinstva, danas znanu kao neurološko sestrinstvo. Ono predstavlja
jedinstveno područje sestrinske prakse, specijalizirano za skrb pacijenta s
poremećajem neurološkog sustava. Takva skrb obuhvaća sve razine ljudskog
postojanja, biološku, psihološku, socijalnu, ali i duhovnu dimenziju pacijenta koja
može biti od vitalne važnosti. Neurološki deficit će najčešće rezultirati smanjenom
sposobnošću za obavljanjem svakodnevnih aktivnosti; kognitivnom disfunkcijom;
traženjem novog smisla života; nizom emocionalnih promjena i egzistencionalnih
pitanja, a time i smanjenom kvalitetom života. Kako bi zdravstvena skrb za
neurološkog bolesnika bila potpuna, medicinske sestre moraju biti sposobne
intervenirati na svim razinama ljudskog bića, a to nije samo fizička, već i mentalna,
društvena i duhovna razina.

Abstract (english)

In the last nine years, we have witnessed a reawakening of interest that questions the
relevance of spiritual health. From time immemorial, nursing has been based on a
sense of love for neighbors and a moral idea of "doing good", but the appearance of
Christianity through empathy, compassion and human appetency for the patients has
significantly marked the essence of nursing, understood as integral care. Except that
nursing depends on spiritual care, it is widely recognized through nursing theories. By
reviewing the works of the theorists, we see that spirituality at the beginning of
defining nursing practice was included in the tasks of nurses. With the advent of the
holistic health movement, along with the term of holistic care, an increasing number
of scientists are realizing the significant impact of spirituality and religiosity on
health. Religion and spirituality have also been recognized as positive strategies in the
general health of people with neurological diseases. The need for subspecialization in
the fields of neurology and neurosurgery is activating a new discipline of nursing,
today known as neurological nursing. It is a unique area of nursing practice,
specialized care for patients with disorders of the nerve system. Such care
encompasses all levels of human existence, the biological, psychological, social, but
also the spiritual dimension of the patient that can be vital. Neurological deficits will
most often result in reduced ability to perform daily activities; cognitive dysfunction;
seeking a new meaning to life; a series of emotional changes and existential questions,
and thus a reduced quality of life. To make health care for a neurological patient
complete, nurses must be able to intervene at all levels of the human being and this is
not only the physical but also the mental, social and spiritual levels.
