Abstract

This study is the first to report on the development of spiritual intervention material designed to enhance spiritual transformation in newly diagnosed cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The intervention was based on peer patient narratives and was presented in video format for six consecutive weeks as either spiritually oriented or as factually oriented. The spiritual transformation scale (STS) score of the spiritually oriented narrative group was significantly greater than the factually oriented narrative group. The results clearly demonstrate how a Christian physician can integrate faith and work, not only in spiritual history taking but also in spiritual intervention programs.
