Spiritual care is an important part of healthcare.
Oct 10, 2020
ย
The spiritual health of a person is a key underlying component to someoneโs healing process.
ย
As a health professional I am honoured to be part of that healing process for many, which is why I take the time to connect with my health partners beliefs.
ย
By doing that we can learn to identify if someone is in spiritual distress and refer to the specialist in spiritual health, chaplains or spiritual care professionals.
ย
Here are 3 questions to ask your health partner (patients) on their spiritual health:
Do you have any deeply held values or beliefs? What do I need to know about you to take care of you better?Do you have any philosophy of life , spiritual practice or religion you follow?These are the 3 I like to use.
