Description

Dimensions of Spirituality in Palliative Care

Overview:

Over the past two decades, there has been a worldwide resurgence of interest in this challenging, neglected aspect of health care. The importance of the spiritual dimension in all areas of healthcare is clearly outlined throughout ‘The National Palliative Care Standards 2018’ (Palliative Care Australia, 2018).

Spirituality is a difficult concept to grasp. It is inherently personal and experiential, rather than cognitive and this is reflected in the workshop style, which is very participatory. The content draws on material from many sources: stories, images, music, and silent reflection. Participants work in groups of three, exploring topics such as meaning, suffering, hope, forgiveness, love and healing.

The purpose of the training is to demystify spiritual care and develop a more spiritually literate workforce.
