| Annotation | A cross-sectional survey of recent home visits from nursing, social workers and clergy to 37 home hospice patients in Peoria, Illinois, US indicated that all but two psychosocial and spiritual issues examined were addressed by hospice staff on home visits. Spirituality, followed by death anxiety, were the most frequently discussed variables. Clergy dealt with more spiritual issues than the other two professions; and social workers dealt with more psychosocial issues than the other two professions. These findings underscore the importance of clergy and social work roles in the hospice team. (RH). |
