Glob Health Action
December 2024
Centre for Health Policy & South African Research Chairs Initiative, School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The social relations of prayer in healthcare: Adding to nursing's equity-oriented professional practice and disciplinary knowledge.

Social Research Institute, University College London, London, UK.

This paper analyzes interviews with 21 nurses in Vancouver and London as a subset of the larger study.
