Faith |
Do you consider yourself a spiritual or religious person? Is spirituality, religion or other beliefs in the supernatural or sacred important to you? Do you have spiritual beliefs that help you overcome stress or cope with difficult times? Does your religion or beliefs influence how you are coping with your hospitalisation in the ICU?

Importance |
How important is spirituality or religion in your daily life? Has your spirituality, religion or beliefs influenced your self-care? Has your spirituality, religion or beliefs influenced the decisions you made regarding your health?

Community |
Are you part of a spiritual or religious community? Does this community support you in difficult times and in what way? In this dimension, you can also ask about family or friends as a ‘nuclear community’ and support to face problems and difficult situations: Do you have the support of your relatives now that you are/have been in ICU? (For this, it is essential to have previously asked something about the family or who the participant lives with.) Do you currently have the support of friends (sometimes ‘the community’ is made up of neighbours, members of a senior citizens’ club, sports club, etc)?
