For Spirituality
Religious and spiritual beliefs play an important role when
dealing with life's joys, hardships and sorrows. When
facing health problems, religious beliefs and practices can
become a source of strength for both patients and care
givers alike. Spiritual beliefs can help
both overcome feelings of helplessness, restore meaning and
order to life situations and promote regaining a sense of
control.
The Coaliltion's Spirituality
Initiative pilot study was designed to test ways of
restoring the heart and humanity to health care by
reintegrating an awareness of spirituality and spiritual
caring into the role of each care provider. Health care
professionals who attend to the spiritual dimension of their
patients' lives find that they not only provide more
personalized care to their patients; they nurture their own
spiritual awareness and growth as well. To link to an
