Abstract

Most Americans pray; many pray about their health. When they are hospitalized, however, do patients want an offer of prayer from a healthcare provider? This project allowed for the measurement of hospitalized patient's responses to massage therapists' offers of a colloquial prayer after a massage. After the intervention, 78 patients completed questionnaires that elicited quantitative data that were analyzed using uni- and bivariate statistical analyses. In this sample, 88% accepted the offer of prayer, 85% found it helpful, and 51% wanted prayer daily. Patients may welcome prayer, as long as the clinician shows "genuine kindness and respect."

摘要

大多数美国人会祈祷；很多人会为自己的健康祈祷。然而，当他们住院时，患者希望医疗服务提供者提供祈祷吗？这个项目对住院患者在接受按摩后对按摩治疗师提供的通俗祈祷的反应进行了测量。干预后，78名患者完成了问卷调查，这些问卷收集了定量数据，并使用单变量和双变量统计分析进行了分析。在这个样本中，88%的患者接受了祈祷，85%的患者认为祈祷有帮助，51%的患者希望每天都能祈祷。只要临床医生表现出“真正的善意和尊重”，患者可能会接受祈祷。
