 AB    In this study the researcher examined how nurses inspire and instil hope
       in terminally ill HIV patients. The study therefore focuses on the
       interventions, attitudes, principles and process utilized by nurses
       working within a liaison psychiatry unit where in-patient care for
       terminally ill HIV patients is available. Using grounded theory
       methodology, the data were coded and analysed, producing an integrated
       theory of hope inspiration, comprised of four core variables: reflection
       in action; affirmation of worth; creating a partnership; and the
       totality of the person. The researcher postulates that hope is inspired
       in terminally ill HIV patients by means of nursing the totality of the
       person within the context of a formed partnership, underpinned by the
       affirmation of the individual's worth, which is assured by the nurse
       entering into the process of reflection in action. The researcher
       further suggests that hope inspiration is inextricably linked to
       effective nursing practice, and is interwoven with the concepts of
       nursing, caring and helping.
