Health care should address the holistic gap between health outcomes, spirituality, religion, and humanistic care to optimize patient care. Treating the whole person encompasses both physical and metaphysical elements. Patients want health care professionals to recognize their spiritual and religious preferences, because these matter in their approach to illness, coping, and long-term outcomes.
医疗保健应该解决健康结果、精神、宗教和人文关怀之间的整体差距,以优化患者护理。治疗整个人包括身体和形而上学的元素。患者希望医疗保健专业人员认识到他们的精神和宗教偏好,因为这些因素在他们的疾病处理、应对和长期结果方面很重要。
