Abstract
This exploratory study examined the spiritual care beliefs of California pharmacists and their perspectives and experiences with prayer and spiritual conversations with patients. An online survey was utilized to collect data from members of the California Society of Health-System Pharmacists in Spring 2021. Most of the 85 respondents (3.4% response rate) were Christian (61%), spiritual (73%) and had a spiritual or religious conversation with a patient (60%) and many had prayed for a patient (48%). Respondents believed that pharmacists can initiate prayer (32%) and spiritual conversations (45%) with a patient.
