BackgroundThe International Council of Nursing Code of Ethics for Nurses (2012) states that “in providing care, the nurse promotes an environment in which the human rights, values, customs and spiritual beliefs of the individual, family and community are respected”. When supervising nursing students in clinical placements in the hospital, most students have a reserved attitude when we discuss patients’ values and spiritual beliefs as a part of holistic nursing (Kuven & Giske 2019). Key questionHow can we bridge the gap between the students’ willingness to practice holistic care and their uncertainty related to what spiritual/existential  care is and how to practice it?Setting Mid- assessment of nursing students in clinical placement, which takes place after approx. 5 weeks into a 9-week of clinical placement. Those present: Student in the second year of Bachelor of Nursing, clinical supervisor and teacher ConclusionAfter reflection, and before final assessment, I challenge the student to open up for conversation with patients in crisis.I give the student two questions (2Q-SAM Questions-Spiritual/Holistic Assessment Model, Ross & McSherry 2018) to try out: 1. What is most important  to you now?2. How can I/we help?At final assessment, we reflect together based on the students’ experiences on spiritual/existential care.AUTHOR: Kristin Kyte kristin.kyte@vid.noAFFILIATION:  Associate Professor,  Faculty of Health,  VID Specialized University,  Norway REFERENCES:ICN (2012) The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses.  https://www.icn.ch/sites/default/files/inline-files/2012_ICN_Codeofethicsfornurses_%20eng.pdf Kuven, B. & Giske, T (2019) Talking about spiritual matters: First years nursing students’  experiences of an assignment on spiritual care conversation.

No one has  died while I`ve been here.TEACHER: How have you provided and facilitated spiritual/existential care in relation to a patient?TEACHER: Let us reflect together on what spiritual/existential care can be,  how to identify and provide for it.TEACHER: What did you do when you provided support and comfort to this patient? STUDENT: I sat down next to her and asked if it was something I could do for her… Do you mean this is spiritual/existential care?TEACHER: Yes, I think it is good example. When you think of spiritual or existential care, what is it to you? STUDENT: I thought it had something to do with religion… maybe spiritual/existential care includes more… ?VID Plakat 1019_90x125_KK_ma_org.indd   1 09.10.2019   11:25
