Questions for Reflection
Exemplary short papers will provide substantive answers to the following questions:
■ How could a healthcare professional or spiritual care worker, such as a chaplain, comfort those who are suffering when they are not able to be present in the same room?
What might it look like for you to provide care that goes beyond concern for the body and mind to also include care for the spiritual/religious dimension of patients?
What role does religious and spiritual literacy play in a person-centered approach to patient care? Narrate your experience of expanding your own religious and spiritual literacy throughout your university education so far and specifically in this course. How has your own development changed your current understanding and goals for patient care?
