Spiritual needs of patients in an emergency room
BACKGROUND: Spiritual needs (spN) are important for human beings-independently of religious affiliation. They can be a resource for coping with stressful situations, e.g., those triggered by the acute onset of a disease. Emergency rooms are hospital departments with high medical performance which may cause a particular insecurity among emergency patients. The present study is the first to examine spiritual needs in a sample of patients in the emergency room.
METHODS: A total of 383 out of 479 patients were approached and asked to complete the German version of the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire (SpNQ-20). All consented to the collection of demographics and clinical data. The analysis encompassed descriptive statistics, correlations analysis, univariate and multiple variance analysis.
RESULTS: The needs for inner peace and generative needs (to pass something on to others, to do something for others) were more important than religious (rN) and existential (eN) needs. We did not find a correlation between spN on the one hand and the reason for consultation, the severity, and the number of comorbidities on the other hand. Age did not play a decisive role, rather, patients' needs, especially rN, were significantly more important among women than among men.
CONCLUSION: Even in an emergency situation, people are ready to express their spN. Early assessment of these needs exposes important nonmedical aspects of the sick person and helps to consider the assessed needs. Further studies will show whether this has an impact on the further course of treatment and the well-being of the patients.
