Spiritual Care Research

Spiritual care research explores how addressing individuals' spiritual needs can improve their overall well-being, particularly during health challenges. It studies methods to understand and support people's sense of meaning, purpose, and connection, often in healthcare settings like hospitals or nursing homes. This research helps determine effective ways to incorporate spiritual support into patient care, ultimately aiming to enhance comfort, reduce distress, and promote holistic healing. It’s about understanding the role of spirituality in health and ensuring that spiritual needs are acknowledged and respectfully integrated into care practices.
