摘要
This pilot study explored the view from six long-term care residents on the contributions of religious volunteers. The findings suggest that religious volunteers may contribute to long-term care residents' religious or spiritual health more than non-religious volunteers. However, since religious volunteers lack professional training and competence to attend to patients' religious needs, they may not afford in-depth spiritual and religious services. Under certain conditions when qualified chaplains are not available, inadequate religious services performed by religious volunteers are still better than no such care at all. However, in order to provide this important aspect of holistic care, we propose that health care policy makers should pay more attention to this topic.
