title: [Taking into account spiritual dimension of the patient in multidisciplinary team].
abstract: In the current healthcare environment, there is an increasing consensus for a holistic approach to the patient by means of a bio-psychosocial and spiritual model. The first part of this article describes how, in the context of a laic healthcare environment, physicians, nurses and spiritual caregivers are asked to change their way to communicate and to take into account this spiritual dimension. In the second part we will discuss some of the challenges of this interdisciplinary approach of the spiritual dimension in the hospital and the community. We will describe potential benefits for the patients, their family members and the caregivers. At the end, taking into account the spiritual dimension of the patient without proselytism will depend on the capacity of each caregiver to speak about it and to share this information in multidisciplinary team.
