Psychospiritual care has taken many forms and approaches. In the clinical setting, the meaning, variations, and inconsistencies in the delivery of psychospiritual and its related terms persist. The purpose of the study is to identify the meaning and attributes of psychospiritual care and enhance collaborative practice by presenting a concept analysis. This review used Walker and Avant's eight-step approach to concept analysis. Psychospiritual is a broad, dynamic, and unique concept that integrates psychological and spiritual methods. In this analysis, the defining attributes of psychospiritual care are intuitive self-awareness, therapeutic use of psychological and spiritual perspective, and cultivation of psychological and spiritual environment. Providing psychospiritual care promotes positive consequences, such as therapeutic effects for patients and promoting psychospiritual awareness among psychospiritual interventionists. A comprehensive definition of psychospiritual care has been developed. The findings contribute to science by creating a platform for developing practice standards, research, and theory. Implementing psychospiritual care may improve overall occupational health and well-being, thereby improving patient care delivery.

Older adults are a group vulnerable to health problems, and cases continue to increase. One of the reasons is living in a nursing home. So far, efforts have been made to improve older adults’ care services for their Quality of Life (QoL). However, one thing that is forgotten is spiritual services for older adults. This research aims to find relevant aspects between care and spiritual services to improve the QoL for older adult people living in nursing homes. This was a cross-sectional study. The sample size was 131 older adult people living in nursing homes. Samples were taken through simple random sampling with the criteria of being able to communicate and having a good cognitive function. Care services were measured using the Services Assessment Scale (SVAS) questionnaire, spiritual services were measured using the Spiritual Assessment Scale (SAS) questionnaire, and QoL was measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Older (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaire. Data analysis used the gamma test. Respondents in this study were mostly women (55.5%), aged 60-74 years (62.6%), who had an elementary school graduation education (56.5%). Most respondents received low care services (74.0%), low spiritual services (84.0%), and most of them had low QoL (82.4%). The results showed a significant correlation between care services and QoL (p=0.000 and r=0.623), and between spiritual services and QoL (p=0.000 and r=0.755). Older adults in nursing homes need spiritual services and care services to improve their QoL.

Older adults with hypertension often experience a low quality of life. Family support plays a critical role in maintaining and improving their well-being. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a family-centered empowerment model on the quality of life of hypertensive patients. This quasi-experimental study included 70 participants with hypertension, who were divided into an intervention group and a control group. Participants were selected through a consecutive sampling technique. The study utilized the Family Empowerment Instrument and the European Quality of Life questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) for data collection. The data analysis was performed using Levene's, Wilcoxon Signed Rank, and Mann-Whitney U tests. There were no significant differences in the participants’ characteristics between the control and intervention groups (Levene's test p-value >0.05). After the family-centered empowerment intervention, the quality of life in the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (Mann-Whitney U test p-value=0.000 < 0.05). This suggests that nurses can effectively involve patients with chronic diseases, particularly hypertension, and their families in the treatment process to enhance their quality of life.
