Introduction: Logotherapy could be described as recognizing the patient´s views to changes in life that can not be changed. This comes in the forefront in a variety of difficult life situations, which can affect the individual and change him the way of life. Purpose: We want to present the usefulness of logotherapy and her techniques in nursing at the theoretical level. Methods: In the work was used descriptive method with a systematic review oft he literature. During the search we used the time frame from 2008 to 2017. Literature was searched in slovenian and english language for over remote access provided by University of Ljubljana. Foreign databases used were ScienceDirect, Medline and CINAHL. The analysis included 31 literature units. Discussion and conclusion: Logotherapy has proved to be useful by reducing anxiety, depression, feelings of nonsense and easier searching and perceiving an individual´s purpose in life when things change because of their health. Nurses are daily in association with patients who suffer from various areas. Through the use of logotherapy, they are offered the opportunity to upgrade and use their own knowledge in determining the patient´s needs in the spiritual area. In this way, it would be easier for them, to understand the meaning of life by individuals. Advantages of logotherapy are by us not well known, therefore should be modernized and strengthened, especially in Slovenia.
