Descripción
Sumario:Reports the results of a survey examining religious denomination, belief in a higher power, church attendance, and religious coping among physicians (N=130), nurses (N=39), patients (N = 77), and families (N=60). Differences are noted and discussed. Notes that while a large proportion of patients and families found religion to be the most important factor enabling them to cope, only a small percentage of physicians felt that way. Observes that the results of this and other studies may indicate a gap in religious orientation between health care providers and patients and that such a gap could hinder the recognition of and proper care for spiritual needs in the hospital setting.
