Information zum Gesamtrahmen des Seminars

Introduction/Einführung

The technological advances of the past century tended to change the focus of medicine from a caring, service oriented model to a technological, cure-oriented model. Technology has led to phenomenal advances in medicine and has given us the ability to prolong life. However, in the past few decades physicians have attempted to balance their care by reclaiming medicine's more spiritual roots, recognizing that until modern times spirituality was often linked with health care. Spiritual or compassionate care involves serving the whole person—the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Such service is inherently a spiritual activity. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, who has developed Commonweal retreats for people with cancer, described it well:

“Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul.”

Serving patients may involve spending time with them, holding their hands, and talking about what is important to them. Patients value these experiences with their physicians. Therefore, it is important for all health-related educational institution to teach and train their students in spirituality. In the SKDI (Indonesian Standard of Physicians’ Competences), spirituality is one of the core competences under the Noble Professionalism competence. This workshop is intended to achieve the above goals.

Objectives: To increase awareness of spirituality services in health care stitution. To refine the existing spirituality education in health-related educational institution, in both undergraduate and postgraduate level. 

Participants: Hospital management and spiritual care (Academic Health System), Health-related educational institution (Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, etc).
