Spiritual care is not limited to religious rituals; it assists patients and their families in finding meaning and connection in life, addressing fears, regrets, and relational reconciliation, while exploring inner peace through art, narrative practices, and nature-based healing.
The symbolic and functional role of the ‘spiritual care tool car' lies in its capacity to transcend hospital confines through mobile services. A physical cart is transformed into serving as both a metaphorical vessel symbolizing the 'journey of companionship' and a transitional tool that guides families from resistance to acceptance.
The implementation framework and innovative approach emphasize therapeutic details in the design of the spiritual care tool car, featuring a five-senses healing space: Sight, Hearing, Touch, Smell and Taste.
Innovative tools include guided use of the Four Pathways of Relationship' card (expressing gratitude, apology, love, and farewell), or facilitating unspoken dialogues through art companionship.
The value of the spiritual care tool car resides in transforming 'death' into a co-creative process. Its essence lies not in grand visions, but in embodying a profound understanding of human needs through meticulous details. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to enable all participants—including staff—to experience life’s unconditional wholeness within limited time.
