More Articles Published from UCSF Spiritual Care Research

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Peter Clark in News

In a prior blog post, we discussed UCSF’s research project on the Spiritual Assessment and Intervention Model (AIM) and its application to outpatient palliative care settings for patients with advanced cancer, which was funded by a grant from the HealthCare Chaplaincy Network and the John Templeton Foundation.

We are very pleased to announce that this project has resulted in two recently published articles by members of the research team.  Here are links to all three of the articles that have been published thus far:

Spiritual AIM and the work of the chaplain: A model for assessing spiritual needs and outcomes in relationship

Transcending differences to study the transcendent: an exploratory study of researchers’ and chaplains’ reflections on interdisciplinary spiritual care research collaboration

“Taking your place at the table”: an autoethnographic study of chaplains’ participation on an interdisciplinary research team

Seven Steps to Self-Care

Tip #5: Lighten up. Let your sense of humor travel with you. Laughing increases blood flow and relaxes blood vessels. It reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone that increases our belly fat and makes our kidneys retain salt and water, boosting our blood pressure.
