Spiritual Care at the Crossroads
This ecumenical White Paper aims to clarify the profile of Christian healthcare chaplaincy in a context of rapidly changing healthcare systems. The increasing complexity and specialization of healthcare, the shift towards outpatient care, mounting economic pressures, the demographic and epidemiological transitions towards chronic and elderly care, and global health crises are profoundly transforming and challenging Christian healthcare chaplaincy…
Role-Perceptions of Dutch Spiritual Caregivers in Implementing Multidisciplinary Spiritual Care
While spiritual caregivers realise having the potential to make important contributions to the further process of integration of spiritual care into the daily practice of other healthcare professionals, some practices and perceptions, especially from within their own discipline, may hamper this
A beacon in the storm
INTRODUCTION: In several Dutch hospitals, healthcare chaplains provide care to accompanying persons at the accident and emergency (A&E) department, even though they have not been trained for such a dynamic, high-intensity environment. We therefore examined the competencies they feel they need in this setting. METHODS: Interviews were conducted with 14 healthcare chaplains from nine hospitals, and with five A&E nurses from two hospitals. RESULTS: …
Spiritual Care in the ICU
Since there are no scientific data available about the role of spiritual care (SC) in Dutch ICUs, the goal of this quantitative study was twofold: first, to map the role of SC as a part of daily adult ICU care in The Netherlands from the perspective of intensivists, ICU nurses, and spiritual caregivers and second, to identify similarities and differences among these three perspectives. This study is the quantitative part of a mixed methods approa…
Attentiveness to Religious/Spiritual Coping and Meaning Questions of Patients
Illness is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual process. Physicians focus primarily on the physical level; but attention to the other levels — including the religious/spiritual level — is recommended. Research, predominantly conducted in the usa , indicates that the worldview of physicians determines their attentiveness to their patient’s religiosity/spirituality. This study investigates medical specialists in academic hospitals in the Netherlands. The …
From Ministry Towards Spiritual Competence. Changing Perspectives in Spiritual Care in the Netherlands
In the ‘crisis of ministry’ alternatives are considered to a worldview-based spiritual positioning of spiritual caregivers. One of the concepts in this discussion is that of spiritual competence. We addressed the question: what are the attitudes of spiritual caregivers (and their educators) towards ministry and spiritual competence? In terms of the volume the question is: to what extent does a specific denominational concept such as ministry stil…
Ministry and Spiritual Care
This article presents an empirical exploration of the attitudes of spiritual caregivers in health care institutions in the Netherlands towards ministry and their professional goals. Ministry can be classified into ministry per se and the position and modes of operation of spiritual care. A distinction is made between an immediate professional goal (communication on worldviews) and an ultimate goal (contribution to spiritual health). We examine th…
Identity and Spiritual Care
This article is an empirical study of the attitudes of spiritual caregivers in health care institutions in the Netherlands towards identity and the goals of their profession. Identity can be classified into a personal aspect (definition of oneself in general) and a worldview aspect (attitudes towards life). A distinction is made between an immediate professional goal (communication on worldviews) and an ultimate goal (contribution to spiritual he…
Quality Assurance and Spiritual Care
This article explores empirically the attitudes of spiritual caregivers in health care institutions in the Netherlands towards quality assurance and the goals of their profession. Quality assurance can be located at meso level (the cooperation between care providers) and at micro level (interaction with care consumers). A distinction is made between an immediate goal of the profession (communication on worldviews) and an ultimate goal (contributi…
