Description
Summary:Reports the results of a questionnaire survey designed to discover relationships of the emotional responses of cancer patients and their spouses to variables of age, gender, and church attendance. Claims that contemporary high-tech health care developments tend toward a process of despiritualization, and that one-on-one spiritual relationships seldom occur with physicians, nurses, or pastors. Notes that pastors need to assume a greater role as spiritual leaders, encouraging all members of the health care team to contribute to healing the whole person.
