religious factors
definition: Religious factors can be important in the decision making of patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare organizations. Paradigmatic examples of decisions involving religious factors are conscientious objection to abortion and patient resistance to postmortems, but religious elements may influence a much wider range of decisions in healthcare.
