TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - A qualitative pilot study of spirituality in long-term recovery in acquired brain injury JO - Journal of pastoral care and counseling A1 - Gillespie, Elena SP - 96 EP - 105 VL - 73 IS - 2 N2 - Increased spirituality occurring after acquired brain injury is a part of post traumatic growth (PTG). Participants were asked about their spirituality, and their responses were analyzed. Eighty-one percent exhibited a moderate spiritual impact on their recovery. Studies suggest that patients' spiritual needs are not being met, and chaplains are being underutilized. Trust and a sense of presence are essential to encouraging PTG, and, by fully utilizing the skills of our chaplain colleagues, could improve PTG.
