This article presents attempts to improve the quality of spiritual care offered to palliative care patients by educating nursing and other staff about spiritual screening with the goal of increasing referrals to a board certified chaplain. Attention to patients' spiritual identity and spiritual needs upon admission and throughout a hospitalization through either a formalized screening tool or provider awareness and sensitivity can assist patients in naming their needs, thus triggering a referral to a board certified chaplain or other spiritual counselor. Along with a spiritual care plan based upon assessment of spiritual needs and resources facilitates the healing process.
本文提出了通过教育护理和其他工作人员进行精神筛查来提高姑息治疗患者精神关怀质量的尝试，目的是增加向董事会认证的圣公会牧师的转介。在患者入院时和住院期间，通过正式的筛查工具或医务人员的意识和敏感性，关注患者的精神身份和精神需求，可以帮助患者说出他们的需求，从而触发向董事会认证的圣公会牧师或其他精神顾问的转介。同时，根据对精神需求和资源的评估制定精神关怀计划，有助于促进康复过程。
