| Title: | Assessing and Communicating the Spiritual Needs of Children in Hospital : A New Guide for Healthcare Professionals and Chaplains |
|---|---|
| Description: | What is meant by'spiritual care'? How can we assess and communicate the needs of a child in hospital effectively if we each have conflicting interpretations of'spiritual'?This book proposes that we use a language of'connectedness', which can fully express a child's feelings about, and understanding of, their hospital experience, rather than relying on religious or medical language. In doing so, assessments can be made purely on information given by the child and their emotional and spiritual needs can be communicated between professionals using a shared professional language, regardless of their own faith, religion or secular outlook. The book fully explains the concept of connectedness and outlines a practical assessment tool that uses play and storytelling to connect with the child and gather information about their hospital experience, their relationships with others while in the hospital setting, their feelings about their current state and their needs.This book will improve communication between medical practitioners, chaplains and other support services, enabling them to provide the best support for children in their care. It will also be of interest to academics in healthcare, theology and psychology. |
