Engaging the sacred: Considering spirituality in integrated care.

Families, Systems, & Health, Vol 41(3), Sep 2023, 413-415; doi:10.1037/fsh0000838In this brief essay, the author hopes to invite integrated care practitioners in all settings to consider addressing spiritual needs as a routine component of their patient care. Inclusion of spirituality as a routine component for all patients, regardless of severity of their health concerns can provide meaningful ways to engage patients in health-oriented behaviors (Isaac et al., 2016). After a brief discussion on defining spirituality, the author will provide practical pivots for spiritual conversations with patients. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
