Guest Victor Montori's book, "Why We Revolt," decries the Industrialization of #healthcare. Clinicians become busier & patients are tasked with more work to self manage. #medsky

@j-palliativemed.bsky.social Review Article: Spiritual Care in Palliative Medicine and End of Life: A Bibliometric Network Analysis www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.... Jacopo D'Andria Ursoleo et al
Spiritual Care in Palliative Medicine and End of Life: A Bibliometric Network Analysis | Journal of Palliative Medicine
Background and Objectives: Spiritual care is an essential component of care for the terminally ill, because of its potential to positively impact patient perception of quality of life and dignity. However, it continues to be the least cultivated or even most overlooked aspect of palliative care and end of life. We performed a methodological review using bibliometric analysis to provide a holistic view of the scientific output published on this topic in the literature at the same time outlining present perspectives and research trends. Methods: In accordance with the BIBLIO checklist for reporting the bibliometric reviews of the biomedical literature, pertinent articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. The search string included “spiritual care,” “end of life,” and their synonyms. The VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) software was used to conduct comprehensive analyses. Semantic and research networks, bibliographic coupling, and journal analysis were examined. Results: A total of 924 articles were identified in WOS, and 842 were retrieved. An increasing trend in the number of publications is observed from 1981 to date, with a peak in the 2019–2021 timeframe. Most articles focused on palliative care, spirituality, spiritual care, religion, end of life, and cancer. The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management contributed the highest number of published documents, while the Journal of Palliative Medicine was the top-cited journal. The highest number of publications originated from collaborations of authors from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. Conclusion: The remarkable increase in the number of publications on spiritual care observed in the years of the COVID-19 pandemic likely reflected global concerns, reasserting the importance of prioritizing spiritual care for whole-person palliation. Spiritual care is integrated with palliative care, in line with the latter’s holistic nature and the recognition of spirituality as a fundamental aspect of end-of-life care. Nurses and chaplains exhibited more involvement in palliative–spiritual care than physicians reflecting the belief that chaplains are perceived as specialized providers, and nurses, owing to their direct exposure to spiritual suffering and ethos, are deemed suitable for providing spiritual care.
