Recognizing the limitations of one-size-fits-all narrative assessment models, Chaplains participating in the Coleman Palliative Medicine Training Program, developed a quantifiable model for assessing and reporting unmet spiritual needs. The model’s conceptual foundations and development will be described. Participants will use the model to assess spiritual needs in a patient receiving palliative care. Strengths and weaknesses of the model, and areas for future research in spiritual assessment in palliative care, will be discussed.

As a result of this workshop, participants will:

  1. Learn the limitations of current approaches to spiritual assessment.
  2. Utilize a new model to quantitatively assess the unmet spiritual needs of a palliative care patient.
  3. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of a quantifiable model for assessing unmet spiritual needs in patients receiving palliative care.
