Contemporary medicine has worked diligently to find pathways and treatments to relieve or reduce the physical pain experienced by people, young and old alike, suffering from countless diseases and disorders. Tremendous advances have been made in pain management, especially the area of pharmaceuticals. However, insufficient attention has been paid to addressing the emotional and spiritual needs that commonly co-exist in patients with physical pain. In fact, the idea of performing a spiritual assessment often makes nurses and physicians feel uneasy (Hill, et al., 2000).
