Spiritual Intelligence: A Vital Component of Consolation within Rehabilitation for Medical Social Workers
University West, Department of Social and Behavioural Studies, Division of Psychology, Pedagogy and Sociology.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-5091-2492
2024 (English)In: Social work in health care, ISSN 0098-1389, E-ISSN 1541-034X, Vol. 63, no 8-10, p. 585-599Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

This article aims to provide medical social workers with a discourse highlighting eight attributes within spiritual intelligence that may be drawn on to comfort persons with disability. This strengthens the medical social workers capacity to offer genuine solace through the disabled person’s rehabilitation process. The attributes are holisticness, authenticity, trustworthiness, intentionality, ethical-mindedness, compassion, empathy, and present-centeredness, which will be described in turn. Within these discourses, the paper draws upon Frankl’s logotherapy, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Buber’s dialogue philosophy, and the influence of mindfulness thought in relation to spiritual intelligence. These can all help medical social workers personally apply the eight attributes. This discourse is particularly relevant for medical social workers, as they dedicate their professional lives to helping persons with disabilities through their rehabilitation process
