Literature Review now available

SHA together with Spiritual Care in Aotearoa New Zealand Healthcare Co-design Rōpū is excited to announce that our comprehensive literature review is now available.

The Spiritual Care in Healthcare: elements of best practice literature review assembles the latest evidence of the components, elements, and characteristics that indicate a quality model of spiritual care within healthcare settings. A set of comprehensive data from peer-reviewed and grey literature between 2015 to 2022 from 18 countries have been reviewed.  

The aim of this literature review is the establishment of an evidence base for the co-design of a consistent model for spiritual care service and governance within Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand hospitals.

With thanks to the Centre for Indigenous Psychologies and to the authors Heather Tan, Chris Arnison and Noeleen Venter.
