Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students will look at how spiritual care has always been an explicit aspect of palliative care and that religious understandings have given way to broadly existential / spiritual care approaches. Correspondingly spiritual care is no longer seen as the sole responsibility of religious professionals, and now usually also involves, in some capacity, all members of the palliative care team plus other supportive personnel. This subject reviews contemporary understandings of spirituality and spiritual care in health and palliative care settings and explores implications for a variety of human service disciplines. It will be of particular interest to physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, music therapists, speech/language pathologists, health and social care chaplains/pastoral and spiritual care practitioners working in or interested in working within palliative and/or other community health care programs.
