Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine racial/ethnic differences in provider-engaged religious belief discussion with older adults in the final month of life. Data were derived from the combined 2012 to 2020 National Health and Aging Trends Study. Chi-square tests were used for bivariate analysis, and a binary logistic regression model was used to test the association between race/ethnicity and provider-engaged religious belief discussions at the end of life. After controlling for other explanatory factors during the analysis, results showed that providers were less likely to have religious belief discussions with Black and Hispanic older adults compared to Whites. The results of this study point to a significant gap in knowledge among healthcare providers whose diversity training may not be inclusive of religious/spiritual cultural humility. Implications for research, policy, and practice are provided.
