Summary
Both providers and patients can benefit when expanding our use of the biopsychosocial model to focus on spiritual components of health and wellbeing. Attention to spiritualty can improve provider wellbeing, as well as impact health outcomes for patients and families. In this presentation, we will discuss research on the evidence-based practices for using spirituality as a way to enhance provider wellbeing and improve patient care. More specifically, we will discuss training that incorporates spirituality for multidisciplinary members of the medical team surrounding provision of care for patients and families.
