Spiritual care is an essential part of quality palliative care. However, the literature regarding spiritual care competencies in Latin America is limited. Herein we propose the basic quality standards for spiritual care in palliative care according to best professional practices and provide a common vocabulary and required competencies for quality clinical spiritual care. Both elements, quality standards and a common vocabulary, are part of an essential step implementing continuous educational initiatives among interdisciplinary palliative care teams in Latin America. Members of the Spirituality Commission of the Latin American Association for Palliative Care and three members of independent professional palliative care organizations identified and reviewed our proposed spiritual care competencies and created a consensus document describing the competencies for general spiritual care. In the context of palliative care in Latin America, general spiritual care is provided by members of interdisciplinary teams. We proposed six competencies for high-quality general spiritual care and their observable behaviors that every member of an interdisciplinary palliative care team should have to provide quality clinical spiritual care in their daily practice: (I) personal, spiritual, and professional development; (II) ethics of spiritual care; (III) assessment of spiritual needs and spiritual care interventions; (IV) empathic and compassionate communication; (V) supportive and collaborative relationships among the interdisciplinary team; and (VI) inclusivity and diversity.
