“…Following this line, the study by Kichenadasse et al, 2017 [41], in a sample of 69 physicians, described that most of the professionals interviewed had encountered patients who expressed spiritual needs during clinical consultations; however, only a minority of them perceived that they could meet the spiritual needs of their patients, stating the lack of training as the main barrier, as only a small percentage stated that they had received education in this regard during their professional development. Furthermore, different studies highlight that nurses, compared to physicians, tend to be more sensitive and more willing to address the spiritual needs of patients, related to the higher percentage of nurses who have received university training in spiritual care compared to physicians [42,43]. Different studies point to the considerable benefits of incorporating R/S subjects in the curricula; future professionals feel better prepared and more comfortable to approach and provide spiritual care, improving the assessment and holistic care of patients.…”
