About the Solutions
Written from the perspective of a nursing student, The first page of the two page report is reproduced below.

Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is an interesting book not because it gives information about life in concentration camps or because it chronicles the stories of kind guards and unkind prisoners. It is interesting because it provides the reader information about individuals can find reasons to live even in the darkest of circumstances and this leads to the idea that no matter how bleak the circumstances may be, there is always hope and a reason to live in the meaning of life. While it has been an influential book for many people and groups, it brings special meaning to the field of nursing since it gives ideas which can be used to establish therapeutic healing relationships between nurses and the individuals under their care.

For example, Frankl (1997) presents the idea that life never stops having a meaning therefore there is no such thing as a meaningless existence. Individuals will always have something to live for. While Frankl offers concrete examples such as family and loved ones, he also includes the spiritual aspect of living for a cause and suggests that even in the direst situations; a reason to live can be found in the shape of God. For nurses, it becomes important to note that if this faith in family, friends or a spiritual deity is lost by an individual, the process of recovery can be harmed significantly. The relevance of this idea to the theory of nursing becomes clear when we understand that nurses are supposed to provide assistance in the healing process and create professional relationships with patients under their care. These positive relationships can help along the healing process for the patient.
