Table 8 Anchor Example – Evaluating why to discuss spiritual issues

CPP

I would have had to have an operation this year and it just didn’t go well for me, but I was there for the talks, for the anaesthesiologist and so that’s unbelievable, he was so open, he immediately asked a few questions... he just knew where I stood, how I was and with the death of my daughter and then said: Yes he lost his partner 7 years ago so suddenly, by a sudden death. And then he just talked about himself and that’s so... that was INCREDIBLE and then he said: Look it’s important, I can just tell you that now from experience - that now we’ve just come out of the hole again and show ourselves in the village and again... so just like that! And that’s what... so this has been incredible how this has helped me. And he said what helped him and so yes all... very special and he also had time. And the time... the time... time problem in modern medicine. (3.1_CPP | 00:57:49)

HCP

Or also when someone just talks about the pain and he is now in a hopelessness like in there but I also know that there is also a resource for someone, now for the patient, the faith, then I also often ask then: Yes, what do they think God is saying to you at that moment, in this situation? What kind of thoughts or that ehm can … is one … mostly … so if it is really a resource it is mostly very encouraging for the patients and otherwise it shows a lot about the disease model they have. So when they say: yes, God wants me to suffer now - then that is very important information. (2.2_HCP | 01:03:53)
