    • Abstract:
      The objective of the study was to examine the desire for spiritual and religious treatment options in chronically ill adults. Email interview data (N = 12) generated themes for religion, spirituality, and desired treatments. The resultant questionnaire data (N = 83) analysed the popularity of treatments. Thirty-five wide-ranging spiritual and religious treatment options were identified for use in the questionnaire; 47 per cent of the sample was interested in spiritual or religious treatments. There is a need for spiritual and religious treatment options, and translation of treatments into practice would assist coping for many people.
