| Summary: | Gillian White sets out a framework within which health care professionals can discuss spirituality and equip themselves to respond appropriately to the spiritual concerns of their patient in daily practice. "Talking about Spirituality in Health Care Practice provides guidelines for multi-professional health care teams to explore the relevance of spirituality and to integrate it into their work so that they can respond appropriately to the spiritual concerns of their patients. Gilliam White provides activities and questions to facilitate discussion, and tools for understanding the spiritual 'place' of patients from varying faith backgrounds. In the context of a growing emphasis on evidence-based medicine, the need for a strong research base is highlighted, and recommendations for future directions in research are included." "This text is a vital contribution to the multi-disciplinary, whole-person approach in health care and will be of interest to all health care professionals, nursing staff and students."--BOOK JACKET. |
