Furthermore, Ian Mathew has written a book about social work and spirituality. It aims to transform the social work practice series, besides, in chapter one of Ian Mathew’s book, a case study about a woman of Indian descent called Sandy on social working conditions in the hospital. Therefore, coming with a response to Sandy’s case study and comparing and contrasting two more non-profit organization similar to Ram Dam is vital to developing proper research on spirituality and social work.
Spirituality is defined as being concerned with other people’s spiritual affairs more than different experiences like physical things. Therefore, in most instances, social working places do not give their employees the freedom to practice their spiritual norms. Hence, Ian Mathew, in his book, is addressing spirituality in connection to social work. Therefore, using Sandy’s experience in the hospital, it is crucial to develop a response concerning Sandy’s perspective and how she can be assisted. Hence, Sandy has a positive attitude towards spirituality.
It is confirmed that Sandy’s illness cannot be treated. Furthermore, Sandy becomes emotional and stressed when the ward consultant threatens to take away her bed. The consultant is uncaring about the condition of Sandy. Moreover, Sandy is disturbed because she is unable to access the hospital’s chapel for her prayers. Sandy is determined to get a quiet place away from the wards, where she can meditate without distraction. Therefore, Sandy shows some determination about her spirituality and ends up being given a quiet place to meditate by the social worker. Therefore, hospitals need to care about the patients’ spiritual needs by giving them a place to perform their spiritual acts.
