Mental health care that is open to patients' existential needs requires well-trained professionals who work in teams and use an open conceptualization of spirituality, religion and other meaning-making domains. Using a mixed methods approach, this article explores how professionals (n = 262) in secular Norway perceive obstacles and opportunities in existential care. The results show correlations between age group, personal religiosity, terminology and perceived expertise. Commitment is high, but collaboration with chaplains and team training are neglected.
需要接受过良好培训的专业人员，他们以团队形式工作，对灵性、宗教和其他意义领域持开放的概念化，以满足患者的存在需求。本文采用混合方法，探讨了世俗挪威的专业人员（n=262）如何看待存在关怀中的障碍和机遇。结果显示，年龄组、个人宗教信仰、术语和感知专业知识之间存在相关性。专业人员的投入度很高，但与牧师的合作和团队培训却被忽视了。
