“…Indeed, for some patients, the subject of "spirituality" is considered taboo (17). For physicians, the ability to take spiritual and religious aspects into account in medical practice contributes to their professional self-perception, and requires appropriate training (18). Another difficulty is the ambiguity and complexity of the concept of spirituality, which can be quite helpful in clinical practice (19) and in health policy (5), but poses problems for scientific operationalization.…”

Background: Chronic pain is a complex, multidimensional experience. Spirituality is hypothesized to impact pain experience in various ways. Nevertheless, the role that spirituality plays in multimodal pain therapy remains controversial and, to date, quantitative data on whether and for which patients spiritual aspects should be considered in the treatment of chronic pain is lacking. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the proportion and characteristics of patients with chronic pain who wish spiritual aspects to be integrated in their treatment.Methods: Two hundred nine patients with chronic pain were recruited from five inpatient departments and outpatient clinics in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Patients filled out validated questionnaires, such as the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Resilience Scale (RS-11), the Spiritual and Religious Attitudes in Dealing with Illness (SpREUK), and the 12-item Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12).Results: More than 60% (CI95%: 55.5–67.9%) of the patients wanted to address spiritual aspects in their treatment. These patients were significantly younger, had higher levels of education, and suffered from more frequent and more severe pain than patients who did not wish to address spiritual aspects. Furthermore, there were high correlations with existing spiritual resources and higher scores of spirituality.Conclusions: These results confirm that the majority of chronic pain patients wish spiritual aspects to be considered in their treatment. Additionally, the finding that these patients had more spiritual resources underlines the importance of integrating spiritual aspects in a resource-oriented, patient-centered care approach for this condition.

“…In den genannten Kontexten werden der spirituellen Dimension religiöse und nicht-religiöse Überzeugungen, Einstellungen und Praktiken zugeordnet, in welcher die Beziehung einer Person zu dem, was ihr Leben trägt, inspiriert und mit Sinn erfüllt, zum Ausdruck kommt [4,5]. Spiritual Care umfasst jegliche Form eines bewussten professionellen Einbezugs der spirituellen Dimension in die Behandlung, Pflege und Betreuung [6]. Gesundheitsfachpersonen äussern jedoch häufig, dass sie sich in diesem Bereich zu wenig kompetent fühlen [7][8][9].…”

Spiritual care as a component of interprofessional acute treatment: attitudes and practices of health professionals: Spiritual care has gained importance in various areas of the healthcare system in recent years. Treatment models try to integrate spiritual concerns and needs and strengthen inter-professional cooperation in this context. How this is practised in Switzerland has not yet been comprehensively evaluated. The aim of our study was to examine to what extent and in what ways health professionals consider spiritual issues to be already taken into account or are willing to do so in their professional practice. A total of 196 people took part in the online survey. The results show that many healthcare professionals in acute settings regard spiritual care as an important part of interdisciplinary care, even if it is not yet well established. End-of-life situations are most strongly associated with spiritual care. The study provides an insight into the state of development of professional spiritual care in Switzerland and forms a basis for further research in and development of interprofessional spiritual care in acute settings.
