Addressing the spiritual needs of patients with serious illness in Lebanon: perspectives and practices of palliative care professionals
This study contributes to the growing discourse on the importance of contextualizing palliative care to meet the unique needs of diverse populations, particularly in settings marked by religious and political complexity. Future research should focus on developing context-specific approaches. Training programs should support providers in delivering effective, culturally sensitive spiritual care.
