I have been invited to present on the following topic:
Caring for the Muslim Soul: A Survey of the Literature and Prospects for Further Research
Presentation Description: Research related to the spiritual care of the Muslim patient is growing; though it is arguably still in its infancy. In this presentation, I will provide findings from my survey of the literature as it relates to caring for Muslim patients in a healthcare setting. Much of the current literature still focuses on providing general history, beliefs, and demographics for the care provider. However, there is a greater need for more qualitative research. In my presentation I will speak of the findings of my survey of the literature, the need for more qualitative research, and share reflections from my own experience as a Muslim Spiritual Care Provider.
Conference Cost: Students – $75.00; Adults – $150.00
