This document outlines an assignment requiring the interview of a patient or family member to assess their spiritual needs. It provides guidelines for creating a spiritual needs assessment tool including asking a minimum of five questions. Students are instructed to record interview responses, analyze the interview experience, and submit both the transcript and analysis in one document. The analysis should discuss what went well, any barriers, how the tool can assist in providing interventions, and if illness amplified spiritual concerns with examples. Students are warned to be careful and improve previous grades. A rubric assesses content, analysis, organization, mechanics, format, and documentation.
