RT Article T1 Characteristics of Religious and Spiritual Beliefs of Danish Physicians: And Likelihood of Addressing Religious and Spiritual Issues with Patients JF Journal of religion and health VO 58 IS 1 SP 333 OP 342 A1 van Randwijk, Christian Balslev A1 Hvidt, Niels Christian 1969- A1 Bjerrum, Lars A1 Hvidt, Elisabeth Assing A1 Kørup, Alex Kappel A1 Opsahl, Tobias A1 Thomsen, Karsten Flemming A2 Hvidt, Niels Christian 1969- A2 Bjerrum, Lars A2 Hvidt, Elisabeth Assing A2 Kørup, Alex Kappel A2 Opsahl, Tobias A2 Thomsen, Karsten Flemming LA English YR 2019 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1663317615 AB This study investigated the association between physicians' R/S characteristics and frequency of addressing patients' R/S issues. Information was obtained through a questionnaire mailed to 1485 Danish physicians (response rate 63%) (42% female). We found significant associations between physicians' personal R/S and the frequency of addressing R/S issues. Moreover, we identified significant gender differences in most R/S characteristics. However, no differences in frequency of addressing R/S issues were identified across gender. This raises some questions regarding the effects of gender on associations between R/S characteristics and frequency of addressing R/S issues.
