Preface to thematic section: religions, spirituality, ethics and nursing. Religion: overturning the taboo.

摘要

All religions, whether theistic or non-theistic, pray. When we ask people 'what do you pray about?' most often the response is related to health, either their own or that of a loved one. Despite the fact that religious persons link faith with health, nursing has not done so. Nursing has largely neglected rigorous study of this domain of human experience.
