"This is the first book to explore how religion, belief and spirituality are negotiated in hospice care. Specifically, it considers the significant place that spiritual care has in hospice care and claims that the changing role of religion and belief in society highlights the need to re-examine how such identities are integrated in professional practice. Using religious literacy as a framework, the author explores how healthcare professionals in hospice care respond to religion, belief and spiritual identities of service users. Part 1 provides a comprehensive account of the content and history of the place of religion, belief and spirituality in hospice care. Part 2 examines how these topics are negotiated in hospice care by looking at three key areas: environment, professional practice and organisation. Part 3 proposes a religious literacy model applicable to hospice care and explores implications for practice and policy. Lastly, the author identifies future trends in research, policy and practice. Drawing on a range of theories and concepts and proposing a working model that can impact on the training of future and current professionals, Religious Literary in Hospice Care should be considered essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners"--

El mundo se ha enfrentado recientemente a un nuevo virus llamado Covid-19. Este virus de transmisión aérea surgió rápidamente y se extendió por todo el mundo, provocando un estado de crisis en todas las naciones y obligando a los gobiernos a imponer las restricciones necesarias para salvaguardar la salud pública. Dichas restricciones estipulaban principalmente la necesidad de distanciamiento físico (a menudo denominado distanciamiento social en la normativa Covid), prohibiendo a individuos y grupos reunirse bajo cualquier circunstancia. Naturalmente, y como han demostrado hasta la fecha numerosas publicaciones e informes, esta medida repercutió drásticamente en la vida social, política, religiosa y económica, dejando a las sociedades en una situación precaria ante sus posibles efectos. Un ámbito que experimentó enormes cambios fue el de la atención a los moribundos y sus familiares. La muerte resurgió en las sociedades de forma más pública, mientras la cobertura de los medios de comunicación de masas forzaba la acción política sobre el tema. Mientras la muerte se re-institucionalizaba durante la pandemia, el cuidado de los difuntos, las tradiciones, las costumbres y los servicios funerarios sufrían transformaciones, y el uso de la tecnología se convirtió en una necesidad para que éstas se produjeran.
