Opening up the black box of chaplaincy
This study investigated the reported workings of a narrative and interfaith spiritual care intervention in palliative care at home called “In dialogue with your life story.” It was developed to address clients’ spiritual needs in the religious plural context of the Netherlands. Thus far, how the intervention impacted clients’ spiritual well-being remained a black box. A thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with and workbooks of clients…
Interfaith Collaboration
This article explores the challenges faced by a multifaith chaplaincy team in a Dutch health care organization when searching for a shared professional identity regarding the role of worldview and religion. Using boundary theory, we show how the diverse worldviews and the contradictory visions on their role for chaplaincy's professional identity led to misunderstandings and conflict. However, open and respectful dialogue about these differences h…
Healthcare chaplains’ conflicting and ambivalent positions regarding meaning in life and worldview
Western society is increasingly a spiritual society, but not so much a society that draws on clearly delineated religious or worldview pillars anymore. Within healthcare, there's a growing attention to the spiritual dimension of health and the collaborative spiritual care that is needed for person-centered care. This changing religious/worldview and healthcare landscape is influencing healthcare chaplaincy. In this case study in-depth interviews …
Chaplains’ Professional Identity and a Structured Approach to Chaplaincy
The trend towards evidence-based health care challenges chaplains to work with structured—predefined and standardized—interventions that lead to measurable outcomes. However, chaplaincy literature raises various objections against using a structured approach. These include compromising the chaplain-client relationship, standardizing and limiting chaplaincy content, and the instrumentalization of the spiritual dimension. Based on a thematic analys…
Addressing spiritual needs in palliative care
Although many recognize the importance of addressing the spiritual domain in palliative care, empirically grounded interventions designed to alleviate spiritual needs for patients in palliative care are remarkably scarce. In this paper we argue that the development of such interventions for chaplains is important in order to improve spiritual care in a (post)secular and religiously plural context. We therefore propose an interfaith chaplain-led s…
A spiritual care intervention for chaplains in home-based palliative care
Recently, the call for chaplains to become 'research literate' has been recognized by various scholars as well as by practitioners in the field. However, papers that present and discuss the study design and provide guidance on the methodology of chaplaincy research are scarce. The aim of this study is to present the design of a mixed-methods study that investigates the impact of a spiritual care intervention on patients' spiritual wellbeing in pa…
