Article Synopsis
- Addressing religious and spiritual (R/S) needs in healthcare has been shown to enhance patient satisfaction.
- A study involving 195 inpatients in Toledo, OH found that patients without a religious identity were less likely to discuss R/S needs but still expressed a desire for healthcare providers to initiate these conversations.
- The data indicates that nonreligious patients often feel assumptions of negativity from hospital staff, highlighting the need for sensitivity to R/S needs regardless of a patient's belief system.
