Cancer nurses' perspectives on spiritual care: implications for pastoral care.
Explores nurses' perspectives regarding collaboration with chaplains and clergy in the provision of spiritual care to persons with cancer. Reports results of a survey via questionnaire of a random sample of Oncology Nursing Society members. Concludes that although a majority of the respondents report referring patients in spiritual need to clergy and chaplains, a significant minority did not do so. Notes that results secured from these respondents bring to surface several aspects of the collaborative relationship between nurses and chaplains and clergy.
