Abstract EN
Spiritual care is a vital part of holistic patient care.
Awareness of common patient beliefs will facilitate discussions about spirituality.
Such conversations are inherently good for the patient, deepen the caring staff-patient-family relationship, and enhance understanding of how beliefs influence care decisions.
All healthcare providers are likely to encounter Muslim patients, yet many lack basic knowledge of the Muslim faith and of the applications of Islamic teachings to palliative care.
Similarly, some of the concepts underlying positive Jewish approaches to palliative care are not well known.
We outline Jewish and Islamic attitudes toward suffering, treatment, and the end of life.
We discuss our religions' approaches to treatments deemed unnecessary by medical staff, and consider some of the cultural reasons that patients and family members might object to palliative care, concluding with specific suggestions for the medical team.
