Abstract
Using the Coping with Palliative Care Duties questionnaire (CPCD, Caddell, 2002), this study measured orientation among hospice staff (N = 100) within two specialised care hospices within the west of Scotland (Hospice A & Hospice B). The principle aim was to investigate whether staff with High, spirituality measurement (SMS) were more favourable towards the introduction or maintenance of issues within hospice policy programmes than staff with SMS. The study also investigated staff depression concerning occupational duties and overall quality of life (QOL) levels. Two-way Between-Groups ANOVA tests indicated non-significant results intimating that staff with Low SMS were as favourable as staff with SMS towards the introduction of policies within hospice regime. Findings also suggested however, that although QOL scores were evenly matched between both hospices, Hospice B staff with High SMS experienced higher emotional upset regarding occupational duties than the same staff grouping within Hospice A.
