Navigating Critical Moments: The Importance of Spiritual and Psychosocial Collaboration in Addressing Coping in the Pediatric ICU
Interdisciplinary teamwork involving collaboration between hospital chaplains and pediatric psychologists, both serving critical roles within the care team, can lead to unique and effective partnerships which enhance psychosocial and spiritual care for patients and families. While these reflections represent collaboration at a single hospital, further work should be done to better understand the current state of such teamwork more broadly, and to identify best practices to maximize the impact of these collaborations across institutions.
