Nzegwu, Chike. "Chaplaincy Inclusion in Hospital Interdisciplinary Teams and Its Impact on Chaplains' Well-Being." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/6077.
Full textAbstract:
Healthcare providers may impede the delivery of spiritual and emotional support to
patients and their families by healthcare professional chaplains if they misunderstand how to effectively use chaplains, who often prefer to be engaged sooner than they are. This issue prevents highly trained, board-certified professional chaplains from providing services, thereby impacting the quality of patient care. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine, through the lived experiences of professional chaplains, the extent to which chaplains feel that others perceive them as valued members of an interdisciplinary team (IDT), as well as to determine how team inclusion may impact chaplains' physical and emotional well-being. An adaptation of the antecedents and outcomes of inclusion theoretical framework was used. Research questions were developed to elicit to what extent professional chaplains perceived that they were valued members of IDTs and what impact inclusion had on their well-being A semistructured interview protocol with open-ended questions was used with 9 board-certified professional chaplains in the northeastern region of the United States.. Data were analyzed through coding and comparison of significant responses into units of meaning to reflect the phenomenon of participants' experiences. Key findings revealed that inclusion did have an impact on the well-being of chaplains, and its impact was perceived as positive. This study may contribute to positive social change by helping to initiate training and education programs for healthcare organizations that work with and employ professional chaplains to effectively integrate chaplains into IDTs, ensuring more timely evaluation and care planning for patients and their families to achieve greater wholeness and healing.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I explore the training and work of chaplain residents in a large, inner-city university hospital in the eastern United States as a participant in a two-year Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program, a culturally unique religious apprenticeship that combines (1) pastoral care on assigned hospital units with patients, family, and medical staff with (2) classroom reflection and analysis in a small student cohort with an experienced supervisor-practitioner. I utilize this experience both as a privileged lens onto issues of suffering, reflexivity, and the body and to introduce a significant yet largely overlooked component of the therapeutic enterprise to scholars of the social and philosophical aspects of medicine.I set out to accomplish several tasks with this work. First, I seek to broaden anthropological depictions of religion in biomedical settings, particularly those that present it as an eccentricity, weakly rational coping mechanism, psychopathology, and/or import from non-Western cultures. Second, I challenge interpretations of decision- and meaning-making in clinical settings that focus narrowly on biomedical practitioner/patient relations. I do this by analyzing narrative interactions between chaplains and patients in order to highlight the distinctive role of religious practitioners in reflexive and semiotic aspects of the inpatient experience. Third, I attempt to broaden anthropological understandings of the formation of religious leaders by examining processes of role ascription and role attainment in the face of a medical system that is increasingly hegemonic in its scope, both psychologically and morally. I do this through (1) a phenomenological analysis of residents' exposure to clinical difference and strangeness; (2) a thick description of their development of an altruistic, non-judgmental presence and their demarcation of therapeutically appropriate emotional, spiritual, and somatic boundaries; and (3) a typology of the ways in which the doctrine-experience dialectic leads to the gradual emergence of individual philosophies of pastoral care. Fourth, this research offers novel insights about solidarity and authority to the growing sub-discipline of the anthropology of Christianity, an emerging specialty which has shed light on social relationships in ecclesiastical and community settings, as well as on symbolic healing rituals, but has had relatively little to say about the role of religious specialists in healing vis-à-vis Western clinical science.
Dans cette thèse, j'explore la formation et le travail de résidents aumôniers (chaplain) dans un hôpital universitaire situé dans un grand centre urbain de l'Est des États-Unis. Je me base ici sur ma participation à un programme d'Éducation pastorale clinique (CPE), un apprentissage religieux unique sur le plan culturel, qui combine (1) un service pastoral sur des unités assignées avec des patients, des familles et le personnel médical, et (2) un travail de réflexion et d'analyse effectué au sein d'une petite cohorte d'étudiants placés sous la direction d'un superviseur-praticien d'expérience. J'utilise cette expérience à la fois comme un point de vue privilégié sur les questions de souffrance, de réflexivité et de corporéité, et comme une manière d'ouvrir sur une composante de l'entreprise thérapeutique encore largement négligée par ceux qui s'intéressent aux aspects sociaux et philosophiques de la médecine. fr
Ce travail se donne différents objectifs. D'abord, je vise à élargir la manière dont l'anthropologie se représente la place de la religion dans des contextes biomédicaux, en interpellant particulièrement les descriptions qui la présentent comme une excentricité, un moyen peu rationnel d'affronter les problèmes, un signe de psychopathologie et/ou quelque chose d'importé à partir de cultures non occidentales. En deuxième lieu, je questionne les interprétations des processus de décision et de recherche de sens en contexte clinique, qui se centrent de manière étroite sur les relations entre patients et praticiens biomédicaux. Je le fais à partir d'une analyse des interactions narratives entre aumôniers et patients, en vue de mettre en relief le rôle distinctif des praticiens religieux par rapport aux aspects réflexifs et sémiotiques de l'expérience de l'hospitalisation. En troisième lieu, je cherche à élargir les façons dont l'anthropologie approche la formation des leaders religieux, en examinant les processus d'assignation et d'acquisition de rôle face à un système médical qui se révèle de plus en plus hégémonique dans sa visée, à la fois psychologique et morale. Pour y arriver, je procède ici (1) à une analyse phénoménologique de l'exposition des résidents à la différence culturelle et à l'étrangeté; (2) à une description riche de la manière dont ils développent une présence altruiste et dépourvue de jugement et celle dont ils établissent des frontières appropriées sur les plans émotionnel, spirituel et somatique; (3) et à l'élaboration d'une typologie des façons dont la dialectique doctrine - expérience conduit à l'émergence graduelle de philosophies individuelles de service pastoral. En quatrième lieu, cette recherche offre de nouveaux éclairages sur les notions de solidarité et d'autonomie et contribue ainsi à un champ en expansion, celui de l'anthropologie de la chrétienté, une spécialité

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the collaborative practice between psychiatrists and chaplains within three mental healthcare facilities in south central Ontario, Canada. From an overview of the current literature, there has been a renewed interest by psychiatrists in the healing qualities of religion and spirituality. However, the literature also reveals that psychiatrists have a tendency not to be interested in spiritual matters. So, despite the renewed interest in the effects of spirituality on persons with mental illness and the positive outcomes that the research reveals, many psychiatrists remain unconvinced about the use of spirituality in their practice. In the light of this, I undertook this research into the lived experiences of twelve psychiatrists and ten chaplains within three mental healthcare facilities within south central Ontario. From an overview of the literature, I noted the lack of engagement by chaplains in performing research and the lack of a theological focus on the collaborative practice between these two disciplines. This study is located within the discipline of practical theology using a transversal model of praxis. Through the use of hermeneutic phenomenology as both methodology and method within a qualitative framework, I engaged some of the fundamentals of the concepts within the work of the philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer,1 in order to gain access into the collaborative practices between psychiatrists and chaplains. Using the transversal model of cross-disciplinary dialogue, I come to an understanding of the array of collaborative or non-collaborative practices between psychiatrists and chaplains. I then come to the understanding that in many instances, it is up to the chaplain to lead the way in collaborative practice. Drawing on the Christian notion of hospitality, the persuasive communication techniques used by Jesus and current organization theories within healthcare, I bring about a more robust collaborative practice with psychiatrists.

Full textAbstract:
The model of ministry developed in this dissertation is intended to demonstrate how military hospital chaplains can respond more qualitatively to the needs of patients and care providers at Martin Army Community Hospital at Fort Benning, in Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning, is an installation unit of the United States Army. The model calls for the implementation of a Volunteer Training Program that builds on the skills and experience of active and reserve duty chaplains, as well as those of laity and spouses, to conduct pastoral ministry and visitation. This project grew out of a drastic need to assist chaplains in the Department of Ministry and Pastoral Care in ensuring adequate coverage for patients and care providers at the Hospital. The model seeks to establish a “Ministry of Presence,” i.e., to have so many trained volunteers available throughout the Hospital that the care needs of patients at any given time do not go unmet. Historically, the Unit Ministry Team has been hampered in its efforts to provide adequate coverage for the ministry and pastoral care needs of patients and care providers. This situation resulted primarily from the fact that excessive meetings, conferences, miscellaneous duty requirements. and other low-priority tasks consumed a disproportionate amount of the Ministry Team members’ time. While some effort was made to reduce the number of non-essential functions, duties that were not directly related to pastoral care still constituted ma] or distractions and prevented the Unit Team’s members from attending to the more essential tasks of ministering to the needs of patients. The implementation of the Volunteer Training Program brought relief to the overwhelmed Unit Ministry Team in the form of an “army” of volunteers who were trained to function as chaplains. The presence of support staff allowed the chaplaincy staff to attend to other tasks and helped ensure that a trained and caring person was available when needed. The Program is an intensive experience structured around one week of instruction, readings, simulated counseling sessions, role-playing visitations, writing verbatim reports, peer review, and dialogue-feedback sessions with a volunteer supervisor. The training gave active and reserve duty chaplains additional experience in hospital ministry and fulfilled the basic requirements for continuing education units for lay person. Overall, the Volunteer Training Program was successful in that it enhanced the presence of trained chaplain’s volunteers and ensured that the care needs of patients were meant. The Program precipitated an increased awareness of the importance of pastoral care and a greater sensitivity to the need for hospital ministry. In addition, this Program inspired chaplains at other military hospitals to consider such a program for the hospitals at which they are stationed. Most importantly, the Volunteer Training Programsignificantly improved the capacity of the Department of Ministry and Pastoral Care at Martin Army Community Hospital to provide effective pastoral ministry and patient care.

Campbell, Carol S. "A hermeneutic phenomenological study of the unique role of NHS hospital chaplaincy in delivering spiritual care to people bereaved by the death of a child." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2013. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=203781.
Full textAbstract:
This study utilises a hermeneutical phenomenological framework to explore the lived experience of losing a child and how this experience may be understood theologically, with a view to exploring the delivery of spiritual care to the bereaved. This three dimensional approach takes seriously the voices of the bereaved as they influence the move towards a deeper understanding of theology, spiritual care and the unique role of the hospital chaplain. To explore the lived experience, unstructured interviews were carried out with parents and grandparents in five bereaved families following the death of a child. This included 5 mothers, 3 fathers, 5 grandmothers and 4 grandfathers. The participants were identified and recruited because of their experience of the death of a child in the family, had some concept of God and had used the chaplaincy service. They were interviewed as married couples or as individuals if there were no partners taking part. There were ten interviews conducted during the first 6 months of the research and contact approved for a 5 year period should this be necessary. Gadamer's philosophy of interpretation was essential to this process as the research involved an in-depth, thematic and hermeneutical analysis of the interviews. This analysis produced three key themes: hope and struggle with God, a new experience of community and a changed relationship with the child. The themes were then viewed from a theological perspective and the insights gained were the basis for exploring the delivery of spiritual care in NHS Scotland. The findings offer new insights into the delivery of spiritual care, key amongst the findings being: • Chaplains are not specialists in spiritual care when defined as separate from religious care. • Chaplains are specialists in theology and the language of faith where developing a ‘critical theological tool box' is essential. • Chaplains are specialists in supporting people to personally engage with the questio Chaplains are specialists in supporting people to personally engage with the question of life, giving them permission to move outside the ‘traditional box' of religion. The findings of this research will hopefully challenge and inspire chaplains to review the meaning of spiritual care and assert the unique and essential place they have within NHS Scotland.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the relationship between professional codes of ethics and ethics in practice. Key issues explored include: (a) to what extent do professionals use their ethical code when making decisions involving ethical dilemmas; (b) how frequently do they disclose information against clients' wishes and how is this justified; (c) are professional judgements so consistent that a common practice standard can be determined; (d) what differences in decision-making exist between nurses, social workers and chaplains and is this related to the extent of 'professionalization' of the occupation into an integrated network? Vignettes describing low-risk community mental health cases, posing ethical dilemmas for the research participants about the disclosure of confidential information, were used as a focus for lengthy semi-structured interviews with 27 nurses, 21 social workers and 7 chaplains. Data was collected about respondents' professional membership and understanding of legal/professional/employer guidance about confidentiality. Responses were analyzed in relation to themes of 'consistency', 'conflict of loyalties', and 'rationalization' of choices. Confidentiality was breached more than it was maintained, although there were considerable differences both within and between professional groups about the points of disclosure. In addition, no standard recipients for information could be determined. Vignettes were sometimes interpreted differently. Disclosure was justified through loyalties conflicting with responsibilities to the named client. This included loyalty to fellow professionals, to third parties, and to oneself. Disclosure could be motivated by desire to obtain a 'good result'. Participants displayed generally poor knowledge of legal/professional/employer frameworks for decision-making, and referred to their codes of ethics rarely as a reason behind decisions. Implications for professional training and employer policy are discussed. Problems in professional accountability are raised, for practitioners, professional bodies, and employers. The utility of a code of ethics which espouses a standard of confidentiality so far removed from day-to-day practice is questioned.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorO cuidado pastoral, em meio ao contexto, hospitalar recebe o nome de capelania hospitalar. Os três primeiros capítulos do trabalho apresentam uma reflexão em torno de temáticas apresentadas como fundamentos bíblico-teológicos da capelania hospitalar. O primeiro elucida o conceito cuidar, o significado dessa atitude e sua importância para com a própria vida humana e busca relacionar a atitude do cuidar com o tema da dignidade humana fundamentada a partir da teologia da imago Dei, conforme Gênesis 1.26-27. A segunda parte do trabalho apresenta o ser humano à luz da antropologia bíblica, a partir dos conceitos alma, coração, carne e corpo. Estas noções antropológicas apresentam o ser humano em termos existenciais basicamente e como uma unidade viva animada por Deus. A terceira parte apresenta as características da ação pastoral a partir do conceito poimênica. Esta expressão remete à metáfora do pastorear o rebanho de Deus e fundamenta-se na imagem bíblica do Deus-Pastor e do Cristo como sendo o Bom Pastor. Assim, o capítulo visa a elucidar e conceituar, sobretudo, a partir da passagem bíblica de João 10, o ministério pastoral de Cristo, bem como apresentar o ministério da poimênica como uma expressão da comunidade cristã ao longo da história da Igreja. O quarto capítulo faz uma breve incursão histórica em torno do hospital, busca fundamentar uma assistência hospitalar humanizada a partir do tema da dignidade humana e aponta para a necessidade de cuidados integrais para com a pessoa internada. Encerra-se o trabalho abordando o surgimento do treinamento em clínica pastoral, seu contato com a psicologia e apresentando os conteúdos descritos nos capítulos anteriores como fundamentos bíblico-teológicos da capelania hospitalar: a dignidade humana, a antropologia bíblica e o ministério pastoral de Cristo.
Pastoral care in the context of hospital visiting is entitled hospital chaplaincy. The initial three chapters of this paper analyze themes which are the biblical theological foundations of hospital chaplaincy. The first deals with the concept of taking care, the meaning of this action and its importance towards human life grounded on the theology of imago Dei, according to Genesis1.26-27. The second part of the paper presents the human being based on the biblical anthropology and the concepts of soul, heart, flesh and body. These anthropological notions present the human being solely in terms of existence and as a live unit animated by God. The third part describes the features of pastoral action related to the concept of pastoral care. The term refers to the metaphor of pastoralising the herd of God and is founded by the biblical image of God-shepherd and Christ as the good shepherd. Therefore, the chapter sheds light to conceptualizing, mainly from John 10, the pastoral ministry of Christ, as well as it introduces the pastoral care ministry as a means of expression of the Christian community along the history of the Church. The fourth chapter is briefly developed under a historical perspective of the hospital, it aims at grounding the hospital assistance as a human act from the theme of human dignity. Moreover, it leads to the necessity of integral care to the patient. The paper finishes by approaching the beginnings of Clinical Pastoral Training and its borders to psychology, it also ends by presenting the contents which were described in the previous chapters as biblical theological foundations of hospital chaplaincy: the human dignity, the biblical anthropology and the pastoral ministry of Christ.

Previous issue date: 2010-08-25This research evaluates the work of the Hospital Chaplaincy Illness Therapy. And the main focus is to analyze the influence and validity of the work of a chaplain in a hospital. In this research we make checks historical, theological, and pragmatic, and work development is sought to prove the hypothesis that the chaplaincy has always been, always will be relevant today in the context Hospital. The Chaplaincy service in scope, validity and importance is for a hospital as well as spirituality and religion is for humans. The path crosses the findings essentially a historical road from its genesis to its rules and extensive practice today. Does the person of God and the human person and in this regard God and Man, one sees that this needs to encounter with the sacred, and this need is analyzed within the hospital environment and this we find the Chaplaincy, which is called: Hospital Chaplaincy, from being considered a legal institution. The chaplaincy in a hospital is largely a social tool, as had reached the sick, their families and staff throughout the hospital. Finally, the path taken by this researcher is part of their professional practice as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil.
Esta pesquisa procura avaliar o trabalho da Capelania Hospitalar na Terapia da Enfermidade. E o foco central é analisar a influência e a validade do trabalho de um Capelão dentro de um Hospital. Nesta pesquisa vamos fazer verificações históricas, teológicas e, pragmáticas e, no desenvolvimento do trabalho se procura comprovar a hipótese de que a capelania sempre foi, é sempre será relevante nos dias atuais no contexto Hospitalar. O serviço de Capelania em extensão, validade e importância está para uma Organização Hospitalar assim como a espiritualidade e a religião está para o ser humano. O caminho percorrido nas verificações atravessa essencialmente por uma via histórica desde sua gênese até sua regulamentação e prática extensiva na atualidade. Considera a pessoa de Deus, e da pessoa humana, e nesta consideração Deus e Homem, vê-se que este tem necessidade de encontro com o sagrado; e nesta necessidade analisa-se o ambiente hospitalar e dentro deste vamos encontrar a Capelania, a qual é denominada: Capelania Hospitalar, passando a ser considerada uma Instituição Jurídica. A capelania dentro de um hospital será uma ferramenta amplamente social, pois alcançara os enfermos; seus familiares e todo staff hospitalar. Finalmente, o caminho trilhado por este pesquisador faz parte de sua prática profissional como pastor da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil.

It also investigates the relations between emotions, the body and the spirit, showing the integration and the interferences between the different dimensions of the human being, especially on psychossomatic diseases. At the end the thesis deals with the role of faith and prayer in medicine and the importance of treating the human being in a global way. It is suggested that spirituality be included as a health resource in the formation of new professionals, as well as recognize the importance of the spiritual counselor or chaplain in the holistic treatment of a hospitalized cardiac patient.

Full textAbstract:
Pastoral care in our day has its origins in the Christian church and the religious (Soul) care of members. Pastoral care in the hospital has been, and continues to be articulated in the traditional terminology of religious care. This thesis argues that in our multicultural and multifaith society re-articulation of pastoral care is now required; taking account of the nature of belief, genuine valuing of story, and focused
presence. Such benchmarks create authentic engagement through which pastoral care becomes capable of crossing religious boundaries to foster spiritual comfort.
This thesis maps these factors – belief, story and presence - within the literature review, drawing on the experience of many researchers in pastoral care, and of those who in various ways have engaged with others in sharing their own lives, experiences and reflections. The review sources engage with pluralism, the differences between spiritual and religious care, the importance of authenticity and the way this might be discerned through a brief study of belief, story, and presence.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Zwischen 2001 und 2009, veränderte sich die religiöse Betreuung in portugiesischen öffentlichen Krankenhäusern von einem traditionellen Modell der Betreuung durch Kapläne, in dem Römische Katholische Kapläne die einzigen offiziellen religiösen Vertreter auf dem Krankenhausgelände waren, auf ein gesetzlich erzwungenes pluralistisches Modell, wo die religiöse Vielfalt sowohl eine Herausforderung als auch eine Ressource für religiöse Akteure bedeutet.
Als Vergleichsfallstudie von drei High-End, öffentlichen Universitäts Krankenhäusern in Portugal zeigt diese Dissertation, dass die Bestimmung von religiöser Unterstützung strittig wurde, sobald die durch die Römische Katholische Kirche ausgeübte Dominanz in dem speziellen Fall des religiösen Beistands in Krankenhäusern durch Gesetzesänderungen in Frage gestellt wurde, die noch nicht vollständig umgesetzt sind.
Rechtsänderungen in Richtung eines Übergangs zwischen traditionellen Kaplansämtern und Leistung Geistiger und Religiöser Unterstützung produzierten unterschiedliche Ergebnisse in den drei untersuchten Fällen in dieser Dissertation. Jede Gruppe religiöser Vertreter innerhalb jedes Krankenhaus hat gezielt lokale Aufträge ausgehandelt, um Ihre strategischen Ziele zu erreichen. Dieses divergierende Muster ist das wichtigste Forschungsrätsel in dieser Studie.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird vorgeschlagen, dass die religiöse Betreuung in öffentlichen Krankenhäusern entlang von vier Dimensionen betrieben wird: das Niveau der organisatorische Integration der religiösen Hilfeleistungen, deren strategischen Ausrichtung, deren institutionelle Untermauerung und deren Kognitiven Orientierungen. Diese Dimensionen bestimmen zu einem großen Teil, die Muster des strategischen Handelns der religiösen Vertreter in Krankenhäusern.
Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt fest, dass jeder der drei untersuchten Fälle, obwohl integriert in einem einzigen rechtlichen und operationellen Rahmen, in seinem Niveau der organisatorischen Integration divergiert und das dass die Kernursache aller folgenden Unterschiede zwischen den anderen Dimensionen ist.Between 2001 and 2009, religious assistance in Portuguese public hospitals moved from a traditional chaplaincy model, where Roman Catholic chaplains stood as the only official religious representatives within hospital premises, to a legally enforced pluralistic model where religious diversity is both a challenge and a resource to religious actors. As a comparative case study of three high-end, public university hospitals in Portugal, this dissertation shows that religious assistance provision became contentious as the dominance exerted by the Roman Catholic Church in the specific case of religious assistance within hospitals was challenged by legal changes which are not fully implemented. Legal change towards a transition between traditional chaplaincies and Spiritual and Religious Assistance Services produced divergent results across the three cases studied in this dissertation, as the set of religious representatives within each hospital negotiated through specific local orders in order to achieve strategic goals. This divergent pattern is the most important research puzzle in this study. In this dissertation, it is proposed that religious assistance in public hospitals operates along four dimensions: the level of organizational integration of religious assistance services, their strategic orientation, their institutional underpinnings and their cognitive orientations. These dimensions determine, to a large extent, the patterns of strategic action by religious representatives within hospitals. This dissertation finds that each of the three cases studied, while integrated in a single legal and operational framework, diverge in their level of organizational integration and this is the core cause of all remaining differences across other dimensions.

The main goal of this diploma thesis is to reflect the hospital spiritual care in Czech Republic nowadays and to compare it with its beginnings. The theoretical part maintains holistic approach to human being and emphasizes spiritual needs as a basis for hospital spiritual care. It also gives an overview of recent forms of hospital spiritual care in Czech Republic. The research part examines the patients' opinions and experience of spiritual care during their stay in hospitals. Questionnaire-based survey was done in seven Prague hospitals with 237 patients (96 of them used the chaplain service, 141 did not). The short interviews with Prague chaplains and patients regarding spiritual care complete the work. Research findings result in non-answered (and maybe non-answerable) questions: Can hospital chaplains quit their church membership and affiliation and not to serve to the church evangelization Mission? Is it possible to be "a spiritual, but non religious" chaplain and not to lose the chaplain identity? Is it - in general - possible to distinguish "spirituality" from "religiosity"?

Full textAbstract:
In response to a changing cultural landscape, especially the movement away from traditional religion and the emerging practice of diverse members of health care teams addressing existential or spiritual pain as a quasi-medical problem, hospital chaplaincy is (re)conceptualized in terms of two concepts intelligible and meaningful to people within and outside religious traditions: narrative and witness. The project examines hospital chaplaincy in an age of spirituality, and to elaborate on the notions of narrative and witness, reviews the Book of Job; the Holocaust narratives of Elie Wiesel and Judith Sherman; the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and the liberation theology of Gustavo Gutiérrez, as well as selected case studies.

This thesis focuses on the comprehensive approach to human health. She attempts to shed more light on this topic, to document current circumstances related to the psychosomatic medicine and the so called holistic medicine, and to clarify the manner of understanding these concepts nowadays. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis constitutes a rough summary of the comprehensive approach to human treatment, a view of fundamental theories of psychosomatic medicine and its current position in the Czech health system. The thesis also includes an outline of applied terms which are connected to the comprehensive approach to human treatment, especially in the specialized literature. The practical part of this diploma thesis monitors the way in which the media use the terms of holistic medicine and psychosomatic medicine. Further, a general understanding of these concepts is demonstrated by the means of a questionnaire survey on a sample of 454 respondents. Moreover, the practical part is completed by interviews with two specialists of the Czech psychosomatic scene. The thesis is concluded by the author's polemic regarding the topic of this diploma thesis itself. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Spiritual care services provided in Australian hospitals are obliged to conform to safety agendas therein. Research investigating quality spiritual care in hospitals is growing however there is no research investigating safety in relation to spiritual care. My research examines what safety and spiritual care mean for each other in Australian hospitals. The research included a survey followed by interviews with spiritual care practitioners to explore their perspectives and engagement with hospital safety agendas. In this thesis I argue that 1) hospital safety agendas are permeated by biomedical power and authority which, paradoxically, threaten the safety of those present in them, 2) spiritual care practitioners value, engage with and contribute to hospital safety agendas, 3) hospitalisation is a biomedical intervention that generates iatrogenic distress, 4) spiritual safety is a useful concept for understanding and responding to iatrogenic distress and 5) hospitals are obliged to respond to iatrogenic distress by the provision of spiritual care. Opportunities and recommended actions are provided which would improve and support safety in hospitals.

Full textAbstract:
Spiritual Care in Hospitals in the South Bohemian Region In contemporary holistic perspective, we see man as an integrated unity existing and functioning in four dimensions. These are biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. All these spheres create a whole; they are inseparable and they influence each other. Therefore, caring for the ill can be characterized as a combination of these aspects {--} taking care of his biological needs, assistance in his social needs, identification and fulfilling of his psychological needs and help in meeting his spiritual needs. Spiritual needs are inherent in man{\crq}s nature and so it would be erroneous to suppose that they are present and pronounced only in people who are believers. The intensity of the urge to satisfy these needs changes during life. Research done on this topic has revealed that this kind of need intensifies in old age and illness. In some countries, it is already common that hospitals employ spiritual workers or hospital chaplains. In the Czech Republic, there has been a discussion going on regarding the introduction of the hospital chaplain function and several hospitals have one already. The goal of this work is to present an overview of the offer and ways of providing spiritual care in the individual hospitals in the South Bohemian region and to find out whether the offer of spiritual care in these hospitals corresponds with the needs and interest of the patients. The work should also find out what kind of spiritual assistance the patients are interested in {--} whether they would welcome if the hospitals employed their own chaplains or if regular visit of a clergyman suffice, and also, who should perform the role of the hospital chaplain {--} whether a clergyman or a qualified layman. The hypotheses will be verified through a quantitative research. To find out the intensity and kind of interest of patients in satisfying their spiritual needs and to ascertain the level of their satisfaction with offered services, a method of questionning will be used. The research will be conducted through a standardized questionnaire and a guided interview with patients who are unable to fill it in. Possible ways of satisfying spiritual needs will be assessed by the method of questionning through guided interviews with head nurses in the individual hospitals in the South Bohemian region.

The rise in modern nursing and nursing processes using holistic philosophies. When providing care it should be taken into account the biological, psychlogical, social, but also the spiritual needs of patients. Caring for spiritual needs is an integral part of comprehensive care. Providing spiritual care and psychological support are among the main activities of hospital chaplains. Their work is of great importance in overcoming all the difficulties that illness brings. They are part of a multidisciplinary collaboration in the treatment of patients without a distinct faith. The aim of the thesis is to find out the level of awareness of patients in the sphere of spiritual care, their expectations and their contribution. For the thesis I chose to collect data from a hospital through quantitative research using an anonymous questionnaire. The target group of my research will be 100 patients who are hospitalised in an intensive care unit with a minimum hospitala stay of 7 days. The goal of the work was fulfilled. The result of the research was confirmation that the spiritual care provided was reflected in their psychological state and also fulfilled the patients expectations. In the conclusion of my thesis I recommended some ways in which to improve the quality of care in the area of spiritual needs....

Summary: Komunikace duchovního s věřícími v krizových situacích Communication between Clergy and Communicants in crisis Lucie Isabela Vacková This thesis entitled Communication between Clergy and Communicants in crisis focuses on the work of hospital chaplains. At the beginning, there is a description of basic terms such as communication, priest and crisis. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the pastoral care with regard for the ill and dying ones. In particular chapters biblical and psychological view of illness, dying and death are introduced. In the Chapter Pastoral Care I describe the main goals of care, the history of charity in term of the Christian Church, the main method of pastoral care- conversation and the current situation in the area of care in hospitals in the Czech Republic. The research was conducted in hospital in Chrudim on the department of long-term care. The research`s objective was to determine how the patients percieve the pastoral care, what they expect from the pastoral care and whether they would personally use this care. Pastoral care in hospitals in the Czech Republic is still being shaped up. People often worry that a priest will try to persuade them to believe, if they use his services. Therefore, they are rather indifferent to this care, sometimes aggressively refusing. The...
