Abstract
Aims This article aims to contribute to the growing field of spirituality and
nursing management by analysing bibliographic data on peer-reviewed research in
the field.
Background Articles on spirituality and nursing management often claim that
these fields have grown over the past two decades. This article gathers empirical
evidence to test these claims.
Evaluation Bibliometric data on peer-reviewed research articles on nursing,
nursing management, spirituality and religion in the Social Sciences Citation
Index were analysed to ascertain general trends in publication and citation.
Key issues The data support claims that research activity and interest in both
spirituality and religion in the field of nursing have grown steeply over recent
years, and continue to accelerate.
Conclusions The research identified spirituality as a beneficial variable in
management, training and/or care scenarios. Critical studies of nursing
management spiritual initiatives could add considerably to the growing body of
research and theory in this field.
Implications for nursing management It is essential that nurse managers be
equipped to foster not only a broader understanding of the variety of faith
traditions found in a multi-cultural society, but also to develop an understanding
of the ways in which individuals engage in spiritual practice outside traditional
religious settings.
