  • Title: Integrating Spiritual Care into Palliative Consultation: A Case Study in Expanded Practice.
    Author: Kearney G, Fischer L, Groninger H.
    Journal: J Relig Health; 2017 Dec; 56(6):2308-2316. PubMed ID: 28550510.
    Abstract:
    Recognizing and addressing spiritual needs has long been identified as a key component of palliative care (PC). More often than not, the provision of spiritual care involves referral to a hospital chaplain. In this study, we aim to describe the role of a PC chaplain embedded within the interdisciplinary PC team and demonstrate how this palliative chaplain role differs from that of a traditional hospital chaplain. We postulate that integrating spiritual care provision into a PC team may offer a broader spiritual care experience for patients receiving PC and begin to delineate expanded clinical roles for the palliative chaplain.
