Supports this
“Spiritual care is offered to people of any belief and to people with none.”
Separates spirituality from religion, says spiritual needs are not limited to religious people, and names chaplains and spiritual care coordinators among those who provide this kind of care within palliative care.
Spiritual issues can affect everyone – people do not need to be religious to have spiritual needs.
