Ethical boundaries of spiritual care.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In an age that features technologically sophisticated medical interventions, patients still desire spiritually nurturing health care. Attention to patients' spiritual needs and resources in the clinical setting may raise a number of ethical questions. Five ethical guidelines are offered as illustrations of norms that respect patients' preferences and preserve health care professionals' integrity.
