Summary
Unmet spiritual needs may have at least two negative consequences for surrogates. First, they may have high levels of spiritual distress, an important aspect of the surrogate?s well-being. Second, surrogates include their religious and spiritual beliefs when making serious medical decisions . Therefore unmet spiritual needs may have a negative effect on the surrogate?s ability to make good decisions for the patient, especially when facing extremely distressful decisions such as whether to continue life sustaining treatment or enroll in hospice.
To address these unmet needs, our research team has designed a chaplain delivered intervention focused on the surrogate decision makers for hospitalized adults.
