摘要：
How are spiritual needs addressed in long-term care? This quantitative study explored the level of spiritual care offered and qualifications of spiritual care providers in 177 LTC homes in Ontario. Data showed 49% of homes employ Spiritual Care Providers (SCPs), with more positions in urban and not-for-profit homes. Findings revealed SCPs bring a substantial skill set, attending to needs of residents, families and team members. More consistent staffing for spiritual care provision across the sector is recommended.
