Through discourse analysis of focus groups, this study investigates how palliative care professionals in Sweden engage with "spiritual care," "religion" and "spirituality." Our results reveal a common assumption that religion is "visible," but at the same time private. Furthermore, we observed a secular and nonreligious positioning, marked by frequent "us versus them" rhetoric, especially in discussions about truth telling. The findings illustrate a view of belonging to a secular society in which a discourse of static understanding of religion dominated, indicating a vague religious literacy. This study indicates a need among healthcare professionals to discern, understand and relate to non-visible forms of religion.
通过对焦点小组的话语分析，本研究调查了瑞典姑息治疗专业人员如何参与“精神关怀”、“宗教”和“灵性”。我们的研究结果揭示了一个共同的假设，即宗教是“可见的”，但同时又是私密的。此外，我们观察到一种世俗和非宗教的立场，其特点是频繁出现“我们与他们”的言辞，尤其是在关于告知真相的讨论中。研究结果表明，人们认为自己属于一个世俗社会，在这个社会中，对宗教的静态理解话语占主导地位，这表明宗教素养模糊。这项研究表明，医疗保健专业人员需要辨别、理解并与无形的宗教形式建立联系。
