This brief essay aims to introduce the concept of "mattering" in its relevance for both the secular and spiritual realm. I argue for the importance of this psychosocial resource for a more holistic understanding of well-being and for its relevance for religious institutions and practitioners.
This matched case-control study compares long-term employment status of chaplains at a healthcare system headquartered in Florida based on participation and non-participation in a well-being workshop. A Kaplan-Meier curve illustrated separation rates between those who participated in the workshops and matched controls who did not in the 30 months during and after the intervention. This paper provides evidence for return on investment for initiatives to support chaplain well-being by avoidance of turnover costs.
The reflection shares the journey from having no experience in international CPE to being critical of how ACPE manages programs outside the USA.
Religiously Informed, Relationally Skillful Chaplaincy Theory (RIRSCT) (Ragsdale & Desjardins, 2020) is a chaplaincy theory positing that healthcare chaplains would be more helpful to patients and to members of the healthcare team if they were better versed in how patients' religious beliefs and practices impacted their healthcare experience. Changing the theory's name to Tradition-Aware Chaplaincy Theory expands the original theory to include spiritualities and secular belief systems not included in the term "Religiously Informed."
In this first-person narrative, the Dean instructs a young supervising physician to counsel a medical student about why he should not talk to patients about his religion. The essay reflects some of the emotions, ethical considerations and ambiguities that caregivers face in these situations.
While the relationship between crime, prisons and religion has been the subject of extensive research, the contemporary role and impact of prison chaplaincy remains a relatively under-explored area of study. This systematic literature review explored the role and impact of the prison chaplain. The role included pastoral and emotional support as well as religious, practical, and educational input. The impact included rehabilitation, creation of communities, calm, forgiveness and atonement.
Although there has been considerable literature surrounding spirituality and its role in music therapy, there stands to be a gap surrounding religious faith and its effect on clinical practice by practitioners. This phenomenological study, conducted among accredited music therapists in Canada, examined the impact religious faith has on their clinical practice. The study found that religious devotion had more positive benefits than negative repercussions in the workplace among these professional practitioners.
In this article, I chart the development of moral injury in the life of Rev. G.A. Studdert Kennedy, a well-known British Chaplain who served in the First World War. Studdert Kennedy did not benefit from contemporary insights on Moral Injury but intuitively followed a path toward healing that involved reflection, confession, penance and post-traumatic growth. Chaplain Studdert Kennedy's experience of moral Injury can inform our contemporary understanding and treatment of this debilitating malady.
