Navigating Critical Moments: The Importance of Spiritual and Psychosocial Collaboration in Addressing Coping in the Pediatric ICU.

Objective: To explore, by way of intentional, case-based reflection, the ways in which hospital-based chaplains and pediatric psychologists collaborate as key members of a patient/family's interdisciplinary care team to provide synergistic spiritual and psychosocial care.

Methods: Intentional reflection and dialogue amongst co-authors with backgrounds in chaplaincy/spiritual care, pediatric intensive care medicine, pediatric palliative care medicine, and pediatric psychology. Co-authors took notes on the content of conversations they observed at a midwestern hospital.
