    AbstractTwo focus groups were held with patients who had experienced inpatient hospitalization and their families, to discuss spiritual needs during psychosis. Spirituality was described in terms of relationship and religion in terms of rules. Four themes emerged to describe spiritual needs during an inpatient hospitalization: comfort, companionship, conversation, and consolation. Eleven succinct interventions were identified within these themes. The number one need expressed by consumers of all denominations and religions who belonged to a church/temple/spiritual group was for their pastor/rabbi/spiritual advisor to not abandon them. For those who did not belong to a religious/spiritual group their number one need was to at least be asked for some type of religious/spiritual preference and for the nurse to somehow contact the person mentioned.
