Abstract

Mental health care that is open to patients' existential needs requires well-trained professionals who work in teams and use an open conceptualization of spirituality, religion and other meaning-making domains.

The results show correlations between age group, personal religiosity, terminology and perceived expertise. Commitment is high, but collaboration with chaplains and team training are neglected.
