Abstract

Research on healthcare chaplaincy-identity over the years has to a large extent, been both theory-driven and less pronounced in the field of chaplaincy. While this research has contributed important insights, it has also called for empirical/qualitative research, which can add to the growing need for research that complements and nuances theoretical frameworks and suggestions. This article presents an in-depth narrative identity analysis of a hospital chaplain who has served two decades within the healthcare context. The rationale for this case was to specifically explore how a full-time position as a hospital chaplain, coupled with extensive experience within a secularized context organized around medical expertise and other important social and spiritual factors, forged a specific chaplain character, which consisted of six overarching core features or identity markers. The findings from this case study broadens existing knowledge, while also confirming existing theoretical positions. Future research is warranted, in order to display potential additional core features of hospital chaplains, explore contextual identity markers associated to other contexts, and to employ these core features in top-down research or as deductive categories in qualitative research.

从理论到实践展现瑞典医院牧师身份的核心特征
多年来,对医疗保健牧师身份的研究在很大程度上既是理论驱动的,在牧师领域也不那么明显。虽然这项研究提供了重要的见解,但它也呼吁进行实证/定性研究,这可以增加对补充和细微差别理论框架和建议的研究的日益增长的需求。本文对一位在医疗保健领域服务了20年的医院牧师进行了深入的叙事身份分析。本案的理由是专门探讨医院牧师的全职职位,加上围绕医学专业知识和其他重要社会和精神因素组织的世俗化背景下的丰富经验,如何塑造出一个由六个总体核心特征或身份标志组成的特定牧师性格。这个案例研究的发现拓宽了现有的知识,同时也证实了现有的理论立场。未来的研究是有必要的,以展示医院牧师潜在的额外核心特征,探索与其他背景相关的背景身份标记,并在自上而下的研究中使用这些核心特征,或在定性研究中作为演绎类别。摘要(瑞典语):从理论到实践展示瑞典医院护士身份的核心特征:案例研究分析多年来,医院环境中对卫生保健专业人员的身份研究一直是理论驱动的,在医院护理领域不太明显。尽管这项研究提供了重要的见解,但它也呼吁进行实证和定性研究,以增加对补充和细微差别理论方法的研究的日益增长的需求。本文对一位在医疗环境中服务了20年的医院灵魂伴侣进行了叙事身份分析。案例研究的目的是具体探索作为医院灵魂护理人员的全职服务,结合围绕医学专业知识和其他重要社会和精神因素组织的世俗背景下的丰富经验,如何创造出由六个整体核心特征或身份标志组成的特定灵魂护理特征。本案例研究的结果扩展了现有的知识,同时证实了现有的理论方法。持续的研究对于揭示医院护理人员的其他可能的叙事核心特征,探索与其他背景相关的背景身份标记,并将这些发现用于定量研究或作为定性研究中的演绎类别,都很重要。

期刊介绍: Health and Social Care Chaplaincy is a peer-reviewed, international journal that assists health and social care chaplains to explore the art and science of spiritual care within a variety of contexts. The journal was founded in 2013 through the merger of the Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy (issn:1748-801X) and the Scottish Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy (issn:1463-9920) . It continues to be the official journal of the College of Health Care Chaplains and members of the society receive the journal as part of their annual membership. For more details on membership subscriptions, please click on the ''members'' button at the top of this page. Back issues of both previous journals are being loaded onto this website (see Archives) and online access to these back issues is included in all institutional subscriptions. Health and Social Care Chaplaincy is a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of a range of issues related to the delivery of spiritual care across various settings: acute, paediatric, mental health, palliative care and community. It encourages a creative collaboration and interface between health and social care practitioners in the UK and internationally and consolidates different traditions of discourse and communication research in its commitment to an understanding of psychosocial, cultural and ethical aspects of healthcare in contemporary societies. It is responsive to both ecumenical and interfaith agendas as well as those from a humanist perspective.
