This article provides an understanding of how the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of burn patients informs the chaplain’s interventions. It was developed by taking existing literature, using it in a clinical burn care setting, and then developing an experiential model of spiritual care. It has been attempted to point out to the reader where the literature supports the discussion and when the model uses the author’s experience to expand on that literature.
