The Role of Spirituality in Health and Illness

Spirituality is often primary for people dealing with chronic illness and health. It helps people find meaning in their suffering and helps them cope with the pains and frustrations of chronic illness. A wide range of studies has shown that spirituality plays a significant role in improving patient outcomes in such illnesses as heart disease, cancer, recovery from surgery, depression and substance abuse. It is therefore important that healthcare providers address their patients spiritual concerns and provide an opportunity for patients to utilize their own spiritual resources. This lecture will describe how spirituality can be beneficial to patients in dealing with chronic illness.

Educational Objectives: 1) Examine research which has shown that spirituality plays a significant role in improving patient outcomes is such illnesses as heart disease, cancer, depression and substance abuse. 2) Examine how spirituality can be beneficial to patients in dealing with chronic illness.
