In modern multi-cultural and multi-religious societies, a host of new issues have arisen concerning culture, religion and spirituality within healthcare, especially when people face serious and life-limiting illness. Healthcare professionals are faced with challenges addressing and handling patients? cultural expressions of religiosity, spirituality and existential concerns. The variety needs to be met without essentializing the concepts of culture and religion, and with an ability to include the non-religious as well as new types of spiritualities. This collection reflects on the tension between cultural, religious and spiritual dimensions of care in a secularized healthcare institution and describes implications of this tension for healthcare professionals and patients. The book engages with an ongoing scholarly discussion about religious literacy in healthcare, and contributes perspectives, experiences and empirical examples from the Nordic countries, especially Sweden. It gives suggestions for practical application of research to healthcare practice, highlighting challenges and ideas for how to integrate religious, non-religious, and spiritual dimensions in care. This is an important contribution to the literature on religious literacy and provides a vital reference for students, scholars and healthcare professionals with an interest in the complex relationship between culture, spirituality, and religion in healthcare.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aHealth systems and services2bicssc 7aHealth, illness and addiction: social aspects2bicssc  apractical application of research; healthcare; Sweden; religion; culture; spirituality;1 aDellenborg, Lisen4edt1 aDellenborg, Lisen4oth1 aEnstedt, Daniel4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/13173870zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93300d93300
