Abstract
A survey on terminal care was conducted in St. Marianna University School of Medicine in 1988. The results show: a) ST. Marianna staff members have a strong interest in terminal care; b) few of them consider religious support necessary for terminal patients; c) St. Marianna staff members recognize it's time to discuss hospice and hospice care earnestly. In our country, religious indifference is really quite persistent in this generation. Nevertheless, many terminal patients want religious support as well as psychochiatric support. With considerable experience of clinical pastoral care for terminal patients in the hospital, we are convinced that they need religious support.
