After reading an interview on “The Intersection of Spiritual Care and Palliative Care” of a registered nurse based in Dubai, a Kenyan Chaplain wrote:
Spiritual care is assessing whatever provides meaning, purpose, and connectedness for this patient. It might well be religious beliefs, or it may be other aspects of living. If we do not adequate assess the full spiritual needs of a patient (not only the religious needs) then we cannot provide appropriate intervention, pain relief, comfort, and compassion.
The monthly interviews provide an insight about spiritual care and palliative care among social workers, physicians, nurses, chaplains, etc. with an international perspective. We continue to have a wide reach and positive feedback from the interviews. Thank you for your continued support of Palliative Care Network.
