Integration of Spiritual Needs into Patient Care
Journal Title: Journal of Family Medicine and Disease Prevention - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The World Health Organization identifies health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing", and views spirituality (a function of the soul) as an important factor in the quality of life and wellness of individuals regardless of their religious affiliations. Family medicine should validate comprehensive, holistic patient care, including spiritual health.
