Reflections at the Time of Covid-19: The Doctor Becomes the Patient2022 •
As a family physician, we are trained to practice a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach for a holistic patient care. But a doctor gains deeper appreciation for the importance of addressing a patient’s spirituality once he becomes a patient himself. My spirituality played a role in my recovery as a patient. This experience led me to appreciate the unique role a patient’s spirituality can play in one’s recovery. It has given me a different experience with God.

Breathing for Life and Talking to God: Spiritual Contemplations of Muslim Patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Breathing for Life and Talking to God: Spiritual Contemplations of Muslim Patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic2024 •
As research on religion and spirituality at healthcare institutions gains momentum, there is still scarce knowledge pertaining to Muslim patients’ spirituality living in the West. In this article, I present and discuss the results from my qualitative study of 12 Muslim patients diagnosed with COVID-19 at Danish hospitals. Based on the empirical data, using thematic analysis, the major emergent theme ‘meaning-making’ is subjected to investigation. The aim of this study is to understand how critically ill Muslim patients relate to religion and spirituality in their meaning-making processes. I argue that there is both a theocentric and anthropocentric worldview prevalent amongst Muslim patients in the meaning-making process and what glues the two worldviews together is a ‘relational spirituality’.

The Fruits of Spiritual Experiences during the Pandemic: COVID-19 and the Effects of Non-Ordinary Experiences2023 •
This paper presents new research about spiritual experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to discuss the impact of spiritual experiences on people's lives and relationships. Building upon William James' four features of the "fruits" of religious experience as a conceptual frame, the paper presents data from two surveys in which participants narrated spiritual experiences and reflected on the impacts of those experiences. We start with a short presentation of James' ideas about the fruits of religious experience. The next section outlines four themes that have emerged from the narratives of spiritual experiences during the pandemic: impacts on people's relationships with their religious communities, shifts in one's subjective sense of spiritual connection and intuition, encounters with spiritual figures and near-death experiences, and interpretations of COVID-19 as a spiritual contagion. The final section broadens the discussion from the impact of specific spiritual experiences to include spiritual responses to the pandemic more generally, leading to a discussion of the experiences within the wider debate in fruits of religious experience.
