Discussing Spirituality With Patients: A Rational and Ethical Approach
Ann Fam Med McCord et al. 2: 356

The Article in Brief

Most patients want doctors to ask about their spiritual beliefs in at least some circumstances; however, openness to such questions depends on the situation. Discussion of spirituality is most welcome in cases of serious or life-threatening illness or following the death of a loved one. Patients are interested in discussing spirituality so that their doctors can better understand them and their decisions, and provide compassion, hope and advice.
