Spirituality in health care contexts/ Orchard, H. (ed.)

The book identifies and explores the organisational, professional and cultural contexts of spirituality as it presents diverse approaches to health care. It examines the spiritual context of an organisation mentioning the themes that shift attention of the spiritual carer from the individual to the organisation. It discusses chaplaincy, nursing and medicine, and theology and religious studies as some of the professional contexts of spirituality. It suggests that the discussions on these professions reflect the emphasis on quality, accountability, and clinical governance in National Health Service policy documents. Its examination of the cultural context focuses on the increase in religious health care facilities as compared to previous years as it explores the histories of various faiths.
