Does Spirituality Have A Place In Healthcare?
Integrating Compassionate Care With Clinical Practice
Recent publications in medical and professional journals have shown that there is increasing interest in incorporating spiritual and religious dimensions in medical care. In this presentation, it will be argued that by acknowledging a patient’s spiritual/religious needs in a non-denominational manner, healthcare providers may be able to engage an integral component in the patient and family's overall recovery and well being. For many practitioners, this involves making a shift from a technological, cure-oriented model, to a compassionate care team model that serves the whole person - the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual.
