What Are Some Challenges in Integrating Spirituality in Cancer Care?
Integrating spirituality into cancer care can present several challenges:
- Diverse Beliefs: Patients come from various spiritual and religious backgrounds, making it important to provide personalized care. - Professional Boundaries: Healthcare providers must balance offering spiritual support with maintaining professional boundaries and respecting patients' autonomy. - Lack of Training: Not all healthcare providers are trained in addressing spiritual needs, which can hinder their ability to provide comprehensive care.
