Abstract: | Spirituality plays an integral role in the care of the terminally ill. Hospice philosophy promotes patient/family centred care that is palliative, holistic and interdisciplinary. Historically, spiritual care has been a major component of hospice care that is consistent with these values. Some issues related to the role of spirituality in medicine and hospice care include the difference between spirituality and religion, the patient-physician relationship, provision of spiritual care, and who provides this care. Guidelines for spiritual caregiving include self-knowledge of one's own spiritual needs, authenticity and honesty and respect for the beliefs and practices of the patient and family. |
