Abstract

Spiritual care is an essential domain of quality palliative care as determined by the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care (NCP, 2009) and the National Quality Forum (NQF). Studies have consistently indicated the desire of patients with serious illness and end-of-life concerns to have spirituality included in their care. While there is an emerging scholarly body of literature to support the inclusion of spiritual care as part of a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to health care, palliative care programs lack empirical guidance needed to effectively integrate best spiritual care practices.
