Tailoring services to address patients' spiritual needs is widely recognized to be an important component of service provision in health care settings. Yet, despite the growth of the Asian American population, little research has examined predictors of Asian American patients' satisfaction with this process. To address this gap, the present study employed a national sample of Asian Americans (A/ = 2,102) to identify predictors of satisfaction with the manner in which their spiritual needs were addressed during hospitalization. The results indicate that nursing, visitors, the discharge process, room quality, and food service played significant roles in satisfactorily addressing Asian American patients' spiritual needs. The implications are discussed for social workers as key players in the health care team and administrators of the discharge process. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE •Administrating a spiritual assessment that explores preferences in the areas of visitors, room quality, and meals are important components of care, as are discharge plans that take any lingering, unaddressed spiritual concerns into account.

“…Conversely, addressing spiritual needs in a satisfactory manner predicts higher levels of spiritual meaning and peace (Pearce et al, 2012), quality of care (Astrow, Wexler, Texeira, He, & Sulmasy, 2007), and quality of life (Balboni et al, 2007(Balboni et al, , 2010Kang et al, 2012). Satisfactorily addressing spiritual needs has also been linked with overall satisfaction with service provision (Astrow et al, 2007;Clark, Drain & Malone, 2003;Williams, Meltzer, Arora, Chung, & Curlin, 2011).…”

Spirituality is instrumental to health and wellness in many American Indian (AI) cultures. Although the Joint Commission requires spiritual assessments to identify and address clients' spiritual needs during hospitalization, little is known about the operationalization of this process for American Indians (AIs). To address this gap in the literature, the present study employed a national sample of AIs (N = 1,281) to identify predictors of satisfaction with the manner in which their spiritual needs were addressed. The results suggest the discharge process, physicians, room quality, and nurses play important roles in satisfactorily addressing AIs' spiritual needs. Of these, the discharge process had the largest effect on satisfaction, underscoring the salience of social workers in addressing the spiritual needs of hospitalized AIs.
