Summary
Male Veterans with life expectancies of less than 12 months and nine of their family members completed a semi-structured interview to assess their spiritual needs, the spiritual care they have received, and their satisfaction with spiritual care. Both Veterans and their families expressed a wide range of needs including the desire for Veterans to better understand some of their military and traumatic experiences.
