总结:This paper aims to describe how healthcare providers perceived spirituality and spiritual care while caring for dying patients and their families in a hospice setting in Karachi, Pakistan. Using a qualitative interpretive description design, individual in-depth interviews were conducted among healthcare providers. Thematic analysis approach was used for data analysis. Spirituality and spiritual care were perceived as shared human connections, relating to each other, acts of compassion, showing mutual respect while maintaining dignity in care and empowering patients and families. Developing spiritual competency, self-awareness, training and education, and self-care strategies for healthcare providers are essential components promoting spiritual care in a hospice setting.
