本研究旨在探讨重症病患的灵性关怀，以及初级照护医师的灵性照护实务。在一个多样化的全科医学实践中，对患有终末期疾病的门诊患者（n=65，90%的应答率）和PCP（n=67，87%的应答率）进行了问卷调查。大多数患者（62%）和PCP（68%）认为医生关注患者的精神问题很重要。然而，很少有病人报告接受这样的护理，大多数（62%）不认为这是PCP的工作，谈论精神问题。虽然重症门诊病人和PCP都强调精神关怀的重要性，但PCP往往不提供精神护理。在不同的重症门诊病人群体中适当提供精神护理是复杂的，需要适当和细心的筛查。
The purpose of this study was to explore the spiritual concerns of seriously ill patients and the spiritual-care practices of primary care physicians (PCPs). Questionnaires were administered to outpatients (n=65, 90 percent response rate) with end-stage illness and to PCPs (n=67, 87 percent response rate) in a diverse general medicine practice. Most patients (62 percent) and PCPs (68 percent) considered it important that physicians attend to patients 'spiritual concerns. However, few patients reported receiving such care, and most (62 percent) did not think it was the PCP's job to talk about spiritual concerns. Although both seriously ill outpatients and PCPs assert the importance of spiritual concerns, PCPs often do not provide spiritual care. Appropriate provision of spiritual care within a diverse population of seriously ill outpatients is complex, necessitating appropriate and attentive screening.
