Introduction: Death anxiety and low self-esteem are major problems in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Spiritual interventions, along with other nursing interventions, can restore the balance between body and soul. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the spiritual care program on death anxiety and self-esteem in MS patients. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 60 patients with MS were randomly assigned into the intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group received spiritual care program in four sessions. Templer death anxiety and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were completed by samples before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the independent t test, Chi-square, and Fisher exact tests. The significance level is considered less than 0.05. Results: The Mean±SD ages of the intervention and control group samples were 32.8±6.39 and 35.1±8.35 years, respectively. The Mean±SD scores of death anxiety in the control group 12.27±0.85 and the intervention group 11.8±0.88 before the intervention were not significantly different. After the intervention, the difference between the Mean±SD scores of the control group 12.10±0.61 and the interventional group 8.13±0.71 was statistically significant (P=0.001). The Mean±SD scores of self-esteem in the control group 14.63±1.51 and the interventional group 15.5±1.5 before the intervention were not significantly different. The difference between the Mean±SD scores of self-esteem in the control group 14.67±1.9 and the interventional group 18.03±1.85 was significant after the intervention (P=0.001). The results of ANCOVA demonstrated a significant difference between the control and intervention groups in terms of death anxiety (F=6.41, P=0.014, partial Eta2=0.101) and self-esteem (F=13.079, P=0.001, partial Eta2=0.187) of MS patients. Conclusion: Since spiritual care intervention in patients with MS reduced their death anxiety and increased their self-esteem, this simple and low-cost care program can be recommended for those suffering from this disease.

Hospital Patients

Pandemic precaution policies—in particular, extreme restrictions on visitors—have caused a failure of spiritual care for hospital patients, especially those not diagnosed with or at high risk of the disease in question. Many hospitals make significant pastoral efforts for patients. But phone conversations with ordained chaplains and visits by lay chaplains cannot substitute for Confession, Communion, and Anointing of the Sick. It is unreasonable to exclude clergy who have taken appropriate precautions to protect themselves and others, and no urgent medical reason exists to justify denying patients access to sacraments; doing so violates civil rights and religious liberty. Crises calls for greater accommodation of believers in danger of death, who may need a priest even more than a doctor. Serious consideration has to be given as to when the costs of a precautionary policy can no longer be ethically justified.

High Risk Behaviors

This study examines adolescent perceptions of death with a sample of 220 high school students. Variables examined were personifications of death, death anxiety, locus of control, self-esteem, and level of risk. Chi-square, regression analysis, and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. High risk behaviors were negatively correlated with death anxiety. Males had higher risk scores and lower death anxiety scores than females. Females revealed higher death anxiety scores than males and lower self-esteem scores. High self-esteem correlated with an internal locus of control. Most students selected a male, cold, remote death personification image; females were more likely to select a female death personification image than males. These results suggest that adolescents have formulated a perception of death. When asked to personify death most students chose a negative, cold, remote image, with females more likely to select a gentle, comforting death image than males. The grim, terrifying, and robot-like images were more likely to be selected by males but were chosen much less frequently than the cold, remote, and gentle well-meaning images.

Children With Hearing Loss

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).
