NURSING: SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY IN CARE

Abstract

This work aims to highlight how modern nursing strives to achieve a sensitive and harmonious integration between science, spirituality and care. This implies recognizing that nursing practice should not merely be an application of scientific knowledge, but also a compassionate and holistic act of care towards the patient's well-being. Integrating science into nursing involves applying evidence-based knowledge, technological advances, and up-to-date medicais procedures to provide the most effective treatment possible. However, modern nursing goes beyond this, recognizing that human health is not just a matter of physical aspects, but also emotional, social and spiritual ones. In this way, it is concluded that care, in turn, is the core of nursing. It involves not only delivering medical treatments but also creating a compassionate and supportive environment for patients. The sensitive integration of science, spirituality and care means that nurses are attentive to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients, providing complete and truly holistic care.
