Nursing means trying to understand the man both in wellness and illness, from his/her birth to death, is to consider
the human existence as a whole and is to know him/her with all aspects. Helping the patient to conserve, sustain and
obtain all these described features make up the core elements of good nursing care. An individul is a whole of physical,
mental, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions and each of them is interrelated and interdependent to others. It is
crucial for the patient to be treated not only for the remediation of the organ but also to be approached spiritually in
holistic approach. This study aims to discuss the spiritual dimension for traumatic patients and to draw attention to the
importance of serving holistic nursing care.
