No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The World Health Organization's (WHO) understanding of health(care) is incrementally incorporating the spiritual dimensions equivalent to the physical, psychological and social ones. Yet, it remains widely neglected in multi-modal, interprofessional chronic pain therapy. To support gaining access to chronic pain patients' spiritual needs and concerns within therapy, a screening tool has been constructed based on foregoing qualitative research and literature. The screening tool is to be validated with chronic pain patients in clinical settings.
