Abstract
ABSTRACT NHS policy stipulates that clinicians must provide spiritual care for older people with mental health problems in UK hospitals, however little qualitative research has focused upon this. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to explore how clinicians understand ‘spirituality’ and operationalise ‘spiritual care’. A spectrum of understanding and value was found, with most participants asserting that they already meet most patients’ spiritual needs via person-centred care. Systemic problems were identified as influencing the NHS spiritual care agenda and psychological theory was applied to better understand the barriers towards providing spiritual care. Finally, recommendations to enhance clinical practice were made.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
