spiritual assessment

Spiritual assessment is a process healthcare providers use to understand a person's beliefs, values, and sources of meaning. It helps identify how spirituality influences their health, coping strategies, and overall well-being. This assessment respects individual faith traditions or personal beliefs, creating a holistic approach to care that addresses emotional and spiritual needs alongside physical health. It involves open, respectful conversations to explore what matters most to the person and how their spirituality supports them in difficult times.
