Abstract
The article provides findings of understanding of clinical supervisors (CSs) on spirituality and spiritual care in
nursing practice. These participants who taught nursing skills to nursing students who were registered for R425
SANC Nursing Curriculum. Revealed uncertainties regarding their implementation of spiritual care in clinical
nursing. They expressed concernes that despite South African Nursing Council’s espoused holistic approach to
nursing, a gap still exist in SANC’s holistic philosophy. This view is supported and by the lack of guidelines from
the SANC. According to the participants lack of guidelines indicates failure of SANC in embracing spiritual care
as a vital component of “holistic nursing”.
