Abstract

In the context of holistic nursing care, psychological care for physically ill people is a central element. Yet nurses often find it difficult to elucidate the precise meaning of the concept. Evidence from the literature confirms that, although there is some consensus, there is a general lack of clarity regarding the nature and experience of providing psychological care. This phenomenological study aimed to illuminate both the nature of the concept and the experience for nurses in caring for their patients’ psychological needs. It culminates in a phenomenological description of psychological care that may provide a platform for future research.
