| Abstrakt: | Spirituality in paediatric palliative care remains an enigma across both the Eastern and Western worlds. There is no absolute science to it, and it can be a barrier to effective palliative care to be delivered. This article aims to discuss the barriers to and recommendations for discussing this sensitive topic with children and their families to enhance the quality of palliative care rendered, with the aid of case studies to illustrate the underestimated importance of spirituality in paediatric palliative care. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest. (© 2023 Published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of Indian Journal of Palliative Care.) |
