RELIGION, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING:

Clinical and Sociopolitical Interfaces

Abstract

Health care has been progressively understood as a process that transcends the physical body, incorporating emotional, social, spiritual and political dimensions. In this Volume 13 (2021) of the Journal of Biomedical Research, we have brought together four studies that explore, from different perspectives, the multiple interfaces between health, religion and well-being, seeking to promote a broader reflection on contemporary challenges in the field of collective and clinical health.

By bringing together studies that move between clinical, palliative care, psychology and public policy, this volume reaffirms the Journal of Biomedical Research's commitment to a plural, critical science that is sensitive to human complexities. The intersection between health and religiosity, far from being peripheral, is central to the construction of more integrated, ethical and culturally situated practices in health care.

An excellent read and applications in your academic and social practices.
