What are the three major goals of spiritual assessment according to Tanyi (2006) and Campbell et al. (2023)?

The three major goals of spiritual assessment according to Tanyi (2006) and Campbell et al. (2023) are to support and enhance families' spiritual wellbeing and development, discern spiritual distress and its effect on overall family health, and ascertain ways to incorporate family spirituality when providing care.

Spiritual assessment aims to integrate spirituality into holistic care by focusing on three main objectives. First, it seeks to support and enhance the spiritual wellbeing and development of families, recognizing the importance of spirituality in overall health. Second, it aims to identify spiritual distress and understand how it affects family health, ensuring that any spiritual challenges are addressed as part of the care process. Lastly, it involves finding ways to incorporate the family's spiritual beliefs and practices into the care provided, ensuring that care is respectful and aligned with the family's values and needs.

  • Support and enhance families' spiritual wellbeing and development.
  • Discern spiritual distress and its effect on overall family health.
  • Ascertain ways to incorporate family spirituality in care.
