Alex H LionJodi L SkilesBeth Newton WatsonJ Daniel YoungAlexia M TorkePublished in: Pediatric blood & cancer (2019)
The chaplains' observations about patient and family beliefs, experiences, and emotional/spiritual states have the potential to inform the interdisciplinary care of the patient. Chaplain documentation provides insight into how spiritual care interventions and close relationships may promote patient and family well-being. In future work, we will explore how to give voice to their insights in caring for pediatric oncology patients.
