However, current healthcare laws have practically eliminated religious conversations, assessments, and protocols from physician-patient relationships (Riddick, 2003, p. 5).

Spirituality is defined as “the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred,” (Puchalski, 2013, p. 493). Repeatedly, studies show spirituality does in fact play a significant role in the health, welfare and recovery of the patient.
