  • Boundaries and Dual Relationships Within Chaplaincy Care

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Mark Newitt, Martin Kerry, Julian Perkins, Louise Yaull
      Pages: 24–3 - 24–3
      Abstract: This article explores the related issues of boundaries and dual relationships within health and social care chaplaincy. The article begins by noting a tension between an understanding of pastoral care as having unstated and flexible boundaries and the clear statements from professional bodies that boundaries help the effective functioning of caring and supportive relationships. In a discussion of boundary-setting issues in relation to the expectations of both patients and chaplains, the article touches on the use of social media, before looking in more detail at dual relationships. The article argues that, while chaplaincy boundaries may need to be flexible, an awareness of normal practice is vital, so that any extending of boundaries is done consciously. In relation to this, a number of trigger points are suggested. The article recommends that individual chaplains discuss boundaries within supervision, and that teams have clear policies and protocols which articulate expectations around team working. It further recommends that the profession develops more guidance around dual relationships, and that formal supervision standards are set and audited.

  • Spiritual Wounds and Injuries (Part 2)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Murray J Davies
      Pages: 68–9 - 68–9
      Abstract: As part of a series on moral injury in HSCC (see Davies, 2023; Part 1), this Part 2 will propose that the current conceptions of moral injury (MI) may be inadequate, and that there is a need to recognize a distinct conceptualization of “spiritual damage”. Just as MI was, and still is, sometimes mistakenly and unhelpfully conflated with some criteria of post-traumatic stress disorder, it may also be a mistake to conflate spiritual damage with “spirituality injury” under the MI paradigm. The breadth and depth of spirituality and its basis in a divine, mysterious creator, or God(s), are such that their scope may extend beyond impacts that can be accounted for in terms of medicine, psychology and, in some respects, morality. As such, this article argues that the current discussion on spirituality within the MI framework may need to be revised to account for “spiritual damage” more comprehensively. It is suggested that a new approach to this area of MI is necessary to acknowledge the fundamentally important role of spirituality in a MI context, but also to expand the horizon to include spiritual damage that occurs before, during and after traumatic, difficult or horrific events. Further, deeper consideration needs to be given to encompassing both the institutional and personal aspects of religion and spirituality, and how damage in these areas can both wound and injure an individual’s spiritual schema, while also providing the potential for spiritual
      growth. This study will consider five areas, in particular, that require deeper consideration: (i) spirituality and science; (ii) a relationship with the divine; (iii) the use of spiritual tools; (iv) the recognition of spirituality as more than just an “aftermath” issue; and (v) spiritual growth.

  • Hospital Chaplains as Interlocutors on Existential Themes with Patients at
           Risk of Suicide

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Ane Inger Bondahl Søberg, Lars Johan Danbolt, Sigrid Helene Kjørven Haug, Torgeir Sørensen
      Pages: 95–1 - 95–1
      Abstract: This qualitative study focuses on how hospital chaplains encounter and explore existential themes in their conversations with patients at risk of suicide. Hospital chaplains from three of the four health regions in Norway participated in focus group interviews. The interviews were analysed by systematic text condensation. We found that the participants emphasized support and being a witness to patients’ narratives, exploring existential themes regarding life and death, guilt and shame, relatedness and loneliness, faith and hope. The chaplains understood their role as representing life. Their theological perspectives, pastoral clinical education and experiences were seen as being important in these conversations. Further research may investigate how the hospital chaplains’ role and existential competence can contribute to interdisciplinary teams working with patients at risk of suicide, examining how conversations about existential themes affect patients’ health, and whether these conversations prevent suicide.

  • Using Electronic Patient Record Systems to Enhance Spiritual Care for
           Patients

      Authors: Kevin Tromans
      Pages: 113– - 113–
      Abstract: There is a significant minority of the hospital population for whom hospitalization raises profound existential questions: the meaning and purpose of a dramatic life change or the realization of one’s own mortality. This can impact on the spirit – the sense of inner well-being and contentment of the individual. The realization of mortality impacts more widely, both on the patient and those in their wider circle. The opportunity to receive care which permits the exploration of existential questions and unconditionally embraces the anguish they evoke can be of real benefit. Nervecentre is an electronic patient care record administration system, which has been recognized for its benefits in improving access to and provision of spiritual care. The implementation of Nervecentre has increased the visibility of chaplains, strengthening the relationships supporting the delivery of spiritual care at the end of life.

  • Conversation as a Bridging Tool in End of Life Spiritual Care

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Caroline Yih
      Pages: 8–23 - 8–23
      Abstract: End of life care is a holistic approach to the provision of treatment and support for dying patients and families. It focuses on four dimensions: the physical, social, psychological and spiritual. In relation to the latter dimension, healthcare professionals are joined by spiritual care specialists, namely, chaplains. Even though great strides have been made towards holistic provision, chaplains remain marginalized. This article focuses on one essential yet often overlooked tool utilized by chaplains in spiritual care, and it showcases the fundamental importance of the practice in holistic end of life delivery, using Hong Kong chaplaincy as a case study: conversation as a bridging tool. Specifically, I focus on three distinctive aspects: conversation to overcome the challenges created by the chaplain’s role ambiguity, conversation to bridge cultural and linguistic limitations, and conversation to address death anxieties through narrational encounters, including conversations about dreams. Despite the value of conversation in end of life care, this article illustrates that the wider hospital care team has a strong negative perception of chaplains’ use of conversation, contributing to the marginalized status of chaplains.

  • Spiritual Wounds and Injuries (Part 1)

      Authors: Murray J Davies
      Pages: 40–6 - 40–6
      Abstract: Moral injury (MI) has become a significant area of study and debate with regard to veterans’ mental health and general well-being. Due to the nature and intensity of coalition operations in Iraq and Afghanistan over a prolonged period, MI has become one of the “signature wounds” of these conflicts. Spiritual damage is a critical aspect of the MI paradigm. For some people, exposure to complex and demanding environments and situations creates threats to their spiritual understanding and belief systems. These threats may be expressed through doubt about their beliefs surrounding the concept of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent divine creator. Such doubt, uncertainty and distress can negatively affect an individual’s overall mental health and well-being. This article seeks to achieve two objectives. The first is to introduce some of the history, language and concepts regarding MI, in order to enable spiritual care practitioners to participate in this crucial area of veterans’ health and well-being. This participation may include, but is not limited to, definitional research, language analysis, treatment and management. This study also serves as a starting point for a deeper discussion on whether spiritual damage is best described in a MI context, or whether a deeper analysis is needed independent of MI syndrome.
