Description

- Evaluating the spiritual care needs of dying patients within the hospital setting is not a well-developed area of research

- Patients who die within the hospital present varied spiritual and emotional needs that require an array of support strategies from a spiritual care (SC) standpoint

- There is insufficient quantifiable data on specific patient needs and interventions provided through SC, especially among end-of-life (EOL) patients
