The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International defines spiritual well-being as the "ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life through connectedness with self, others, art, music, literature, nature, and/or a power greater than oneself that can be strengthened." They define religiosity "as the ability to (rely) on religious beliefs and/or participate in rituals of a particular faith tradition.
To effectively and holistically assess spirituality in patient care, healthcare providers need to understand ... although all humans are spiritual, not all humans are religious, that religion may or may not be part of one’s spirituality, and that openness is needed about allowance for individuals to express what spirituality personally means to them in their health, illness and suffering experiences."
