| Popis: | A mother and nurse 20 years after her son's tragic death, after a high-risk stem cell transplant, learns that his major behavioral changes while in strict isolation came under the term of spiritual distress. Through her personal experience, the writer describes how her son's thoughts and feelings were expressed in behaviors, atypical for his usual demeanor. This article highlights the importance and value of healthcare providers listening to a parent's perceptions of their child's state of mind. Atypical behavior could be a manifestation of spiritual distress and requires further assessment from the health care team. |
