“…The alienation or inability to provide SC for patients with different beliefs led to the nurse's failure to deliver holistic care. 18 During an interview with the chief nursing officer of a regional hospice, the results from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys, mandated by CMS, were described and reviewed. The most pressing issue that the results identified was a deficit in assessing patients' SC needs within 5 days of admission, a CMS mandate.…”

Spiritual care is a critical aspect of end-of-life care that is often undervalued and underaddressed by hospice health care teams. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine if the implementation of an evidence-based spiritual care protocol changed practices regarding the initial assessment of spiritual needs, frequency of reassessment of needs, the inclusion of spiritual interventions, and staff perspectives on spiritual care. The preimplementation and postimplementation data evaluation displayed increased compliance with spiritual needs assessment within 5 days of admission, increased reassessment intervals, an increase in the percentage of interactions that included spiritual interventions, and improved staff perspectives on spiritual care. The findings of the study support implementation of a spiritual care protocol in hospice patients.

A social work contribution in end-of-life care: incorporating critical spirituality

This article outlines how a framework for critical spirituality incorporated into a social work perspective, can contribute to work in end-of-life care. This is based on my experience of working in interdisciplinary teams, including pastoral care workers or chaplains, nurses, doctors, a range of carers and other allied health professionals. Traditionally, social workers have focused on the holistic well-being of the dying person and their families but tended not to actively include the spiritual. However, there is increased recognition in social work of the value of integrating critical spirituality: understanding the person’s own sense of meaning and the social assumptions that might influence how this can be expressed. This might mean working with individuals and families on understanding how societal expectations of the dying process are undermining the person’s desire to die in a particular way. To do this, workers must themselves recognise their own internalised societal assumptions and be willing to challenge these. The article explores the potential value of how such a social work approach can integrate critical, postmodern, green and relational theories as well as indigenous worldviews with key qualities of practice such as humility, deep listening and waiting, and the ability to be critically reflective. Key ideas are used to help focus practice and the inclusion of critical spirituality. These include (1) exploring the influence of the person’s history and social context; (2) the value of particular relationships and networks, including community and environmental connections and activities and processes that are an intrinsic aspect of the person’s well-being; (3) challenging workers to be critically and reflectively aware of their own assumptions and values to ensure the dying person can truly express their preferences related to death and dying. Examples from my experience are used to illuminate how such perspectives can be actively included in practice across professional boundaries to shift perceptions of ‘how things are done here’ to what can be more life enhancing for those in palliative care.
