The student will choose 2 patients/clients/persons who have a life altering illness/injury and would be receptive to cooperating with a spiritual history. After consent, the student is to perform a spiritual history, one on each person choosing 2 different tools from the following: HOPE, RESPECT, FICA, or CSI- MEMO. (See Spiritual Assessments reading in Week 3 titled “In FACT, Chaplains have a spiritual assessment tool”). The student is to assess for and implement appropriate spiritual care interventions. These interventions may or may NOT include the following: affirmation, compassion, appropriate touch, reflective listening, readings, nature, prayer, referral to a spiritual care specialist.
Following this encounter, the student is to complete the following questions:
a) What format did you use?
b) What questions did you ask?
c) Summarize the patient’s response.
d) Describe if you identified any spiritual issues that were related to or exaggerated by the patient’s illness/injury.
e) Describe the type of spiritual care intentions (if appropriate) you used.
