What is it about?
In this study, we looked at how nurses can help patients perform their important Islamic prayer, even when they are in the hospital. We talked to nurses and other experts to understand the challenges they face. We found that nurses need more training to better support patients' spiritual needs, and hospitals should have the right facilities for prayer. Patients also need more understanding, and there should be more support from everyone involved. This research aims to improve healthcare for all in Indonesia.
