relationship of trust with the patient (and the patient’s family, if
present). Patients, made vulnerable by their illnesses, count on
their carers to be trustworthy. Trust is established when the health
care professional makes a commitment to seek the patient’s
wellbeing and protect the patient from harm. Trust is lost when
considerations other than the patient’s wellbeing are allowed to
take priority"]]> 2018-02-22 23:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dent/w8oxm541rvr0/wish/234529764 https://padlet.com/dent/w8oxm541rvr0/wish/234529932 " The four basic principles of medical ethics:

"There is no place in a relationship of trust or in respectful care for inauthentic spirituality."

Such awareness should include an understanding of the experiences that may have caused spiritual pain or loss in life. As difficult as this exploration may be, it prepares the way for more compassionate and respectful care because it helps caregivers to distinguish between their own spiritual needs and those of their patients."

"Health care professionals who care for the spiritual
needs of patients should seek to understand their own
spirituality."

I think this is really true because how else are we, as healthcare professionals, going to be able to share God's word and His love and emulate that if we don't even know where we stand in our relationship with Him? A lot of times we are told to share the good word of Jesus and evangelize to others, but do we even know where we ourselves stand with God? ]]> 2018-02-26 05:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dent/w8oxm541rvr0/wish/235220399 https://padlet.com/dent/w8oxm541rvr0/wish/235371154 7 Ways to Improve Caregiver->Patient Relationship

Researchers interested in the health-related effects of spirituality have generated a burgeoning literature, with numerous reports of empirical evidence for the positive benefits of practices such as prayer and meditation. The current enthusi- asm for attending to patients’ spirituality heightens the need for ethical reflection. The vulnerability of patients and their wide variety of religious and spiritual backgrounds raise important practical questions. For example, if spiritual care is believed to be genuinely beneficial, should health care professionals go beyond offering such care and urge patients to engage in such practices as meditation or prayer?
