Understanding and Addressing the Religious and Spiritual Needs of Advanced Cancer Patients
Objectives:
To review the religious and spiritual needs of advanced cancer patients and how oncology nurses can assess and address unmet needs.
Data Sources:
Peer-reviewed articles.
Conclusion:
The changing landscape of how advanced cancer patients understand religion and spirituality has created a dynamic set of unmet religious and spiritual needs. Nursing assessment and interventions focused on these needs requires a focus on faith and beliefs and on relationships and meaning-making.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Using history-taking and spiritual assessment tools, nurses can assess patients for unmet religious and spiritual needs and can use interventions to deepen meaning-making within the nurse-patient relationship.
