The authors distributed a questionnaire to various hospital staff to explore perceptions surrounding the role of chaplains in patient care and healing through assessing opinions, beliefs, and knowledge. Results revealed a poor understanding of the role of the hospital chaplain in the UK. The authors therefore advocate education programs to increase awareness of the varied role of the hospital chaplain in fulfilling patient spiritual needs to increase referral practices, leading to improved patient outcomes.

The purpose of this project was to update competencies for spiritual care professionals specializing in palliative and bereavement care in Canada. Phase one feedback was obtained from 11 clients: six inpatients with greater than two weeks of life expectancy using interviews and five bereaved family members in a focus group. Results were analyzed for congruence or discordance with draft competencies. In phase two, 22 spiritual care experts reached a consensus on nine competencies using a modified Delphi survey. Two limitations were the small sample size and cultural and religious homogeneity of participants.

This paper presents a qualitative research project that examines the role of the spiritual health practitioner in an interprofessional Assertive Community Treatment team. The full-time spiritual health practitioner worked alongside the team to support clients with severe mental illness over a six-month period from September 2016 to March 2017. The project examined how the spiritual health needs of clients were addressed through the clinical practice of a spiritual health practitioner. Written in a narrative voice, the findings are presented and discussed, study limitations are identified, recommendations regarding the provision of spiritual health care in the community are made, and areas of future research suggested.

Resilience is a helpful construct when considering how to support clergy well-being. The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge about clergy resilience, specifically those resources that clergy perceived had supported their professional resilience. The study gave attention to aspects of preservice training and professional development that helped to foster clergy resilience and initiatives that clergy desired to further support their resilience. Clergy reported multiple resources that supported their resilience including supports for spiritual life, relational supports, personal aspects, and organizational practices. Spiritual dimensions of support for resilience were prominent for clergy, especially the centrality of calling to ministry, theological meaning-making, and relationship with God. Participants also revealed helpful aspects of preservice training and professional development. Aspects of preservice training included rigorous discernment and screening of their callings and the inclusion of required practices, such as spiritual direction or mentorship. Aspects of professional development included a variety of skill development opportunities, lifelong learning, conferences, and networking with peers. Participants reported their desire for initiatives that included more wellness opportunities and an increased organizational prioritization of clergy wellness.

After completing their Supervised Pastoral Education units provided by the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care, two soon-to-be-certified Spiritual Care Practitioners applied to the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Both were rejected because their Supervised Pastoral Education program was not deemed to be “substantially equivalent” to a recognized psychotherapy program. This came as a surprise since similarly qualified Canadian Association for Spiritual Care Practitioners in Ontario are also members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario through a process called “grandparenting.” Using the 10 characteristics of a College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario recognized program, this paper examines Canadian Association for Spiritual Care's SPE program in detail, showing how closely it aligns with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario's description of an equivalent psychotherapy program. I conclude by suggesting the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario should embrace Supervised Pastoral Education as an equivalent program and grant memberships, not just to those grand parented in, but to future Canadian Association for Spiritual Care Practitioners.

The video was part of a virtual “tour” by Culture Reframed, an educational organization that calls hyper-sexualized media and pornography the “public health crisis of the digital age”—one that poses a substantial threat to child development and well-being. A trusted friend had invited me to join the Zoom tour, and I agreed, partly because I knew little about the issue. The TedTalk Growing Up in a Pornified Culture given by Gail Dines, professor emerita of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts and Founder & President of Culture Reframed was central to this tour. Often, I wanted to pause, rewind and talk about what I was learning. I was stunned, then disbelief set in, while I continued to listen to the Q&A and closing remarks. I imagined my young grandnieces and felt fury. One question came to mind: does research support the claims and assumptions made in the talk and posted on their webpage? Though the website provides the reader with a well-organized list of facts about “the porn crisis,” I wanted other sources of information to corroborate the same claim. A quick Internet quest revealed articles and books about the effects of children’s exposure to pornography. I returned to the Culture Reframed Academic Library and searched. This library can be accessed from the webpage and provides “peer-reviewed journal articles and selected reports from the last twenty years.” What I learned from watching the talk and reading articles was a revelation. I surmised that many mental and spiritual health professionals, like myself, might lack sufficient knowledge about this pervasive and systemic danger to our youth’s physical, mental, and emotional safety. All attendees at Culture Reframed Tour were asked to provide feedback on the tour and names of others who might connect with their work. When asked for a response to the tour and the TedTalk by the Development Coordinator, I was surprised by a deeper awareness of my harmful ignorance. I realized that my initial expectation was to learn about an issue that I knew little about. I was not prepared to experience the problem of pornography and youth so personally. I found this awareness heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. In hindsight, I was not prepared to have distressing feelings, to feel assaulted by the force of my protective response for my family. I preferred to remain at the periphery and to control everything from approaching my heart. I call that response denial—a strategy that protects me from awareness and in doing so, perpetuates injustice. When three-month-old Raleigh arrived, I received photos on a regular basis. None so thrilled me than the photo of her in a onesie, bright yellow, green-leafed lemons on the vine. She wears a yellow bow on the top of her head. Her arms are outstretched. Her hands are gently clenched as she stares directly at the camera. The photo of Olivia (Livi), the older of the two, sparked my safeguarding instincts. Sitting, confidently in a
这段视频是Culture Reframed虚拟“之旅”的一部分,该教育组织将超性化的媒体和色情作品称为“数字时代的公共卫生危机”,这对儿童的发展和福祉构成了重大威胁。一位值得信赖的朋友邀请我参加Zoom之旅,我同意了,部分原因是我对这个问题知之甚少。马萨诸塞州波士顿惠洛克学院社会学和妇女研究名誉教授、Culture Reframed创始人兼总裁Gail Dines举办的TedTalk Growing Up in a Pornized Culture是此次巡演的核心。我经常想停下来,倒带,谈谈我正在学习的东西。当我继续听问答和结束语时,我惊呆了,然后开始怀疑。我想象着我年幼的孙女,感到愤怒。脑海中浮现出一个问题:研究是否支持演讲中提出并发布在他们网页上的说法和假设?尽管该网站为读者提供了一份关于“色情危机”的有组织的事实清单,但我希望其他信息来源能证实同样的说法。一个快速的互联网搜索发现了关于儿童接触色情制品影响的文章和书籍。我回到文化重塑学院图书馆,开始搜寻。这个图书馆可以从网页上访问,提供“同行评审的期刊文章和过去二十年的精选报告”。我从观看讲座和阅读文章中学到了一些启示。我推测,许多心理和精神健康专业人士,比如我自己,可能对这种对我们年轻人的身体、心理和情感安全普遍存在的系统性危险缺乏足够的了解。文化重塑之旅的所有参与者都被要求提供关于巡演的反馈,以及可能与他们的作品有关的其他人的姓名。当被发展协调员问及对这次旅行和TedTalk的回应时,我惊讶地发现自己的无知是有害的。我意识到,我最初的期望是了解一个我所知甚少的问题。我没有准备好亲身经历色情和青少年的问题。我发现这种意识令人心碎和深感不安。事后看来,我不准备有痛苦的感觉,也不准备被我对家人的保护性回应所攻击。我宁愿呆在外围,控制一切,不靠近我的心。我称之为否认回应——一种保护我不被意识到的策略,在这样做的过程中,会使不公正永久化。三个月大的罗利出生后,我定期收到照片。没有什么比她穿着连体衣的照片更让我激动了,那是葡萄藤上的亮黄色绿叶柠檬。她头顶上戴着一个黄色的蝴蝶结。她的胳膊伸了出来。当她直接盯着镜头时,她的手轻轻地紧握着。两人中年纪较大的奥利维亚(利维饰)的照片激发了我的保护本能。她自信地跨坐着,双脚笔直地放在岩石上,双臂环抱弯曲的膝盖,口罩放在身下,微笑着。她穿着她最喜欢的带有彩色彩虹印花的黑色紧身裤,浅蓝色T恤,粉色发夹将头发固定到位。她手臂最上部的小猪佩奇创可贴。在本演示的背景下,看到Livi的创可贴,以及

The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives of pastoral leaders regarding mental health and relational concerns within Faith-Based Organizations (FBO). As a follow-up to a previous study (Moore et al., 2016), the authors intended to gain insight regarding how pastoral leaders view their role within their organizations related to promoting sound mental health and relational health. Utilizing a qualitative description, authors disseminated a survey to 12 pastoral leaders to complete. Three themes emerged from their responses, which included: (1) Defining mental health; (2) The role of pastoral leaders in mental health; and (3) Mental health needs in pastoral leadership. In the study, investigators discuss clinical implications and provide recommendations regarding how pastoral leaders and Faith- Based Organizations may address the topic of mental health and relational health among its constituents. We believe this research is relevant to the readers of this journal as it contributes to a discussion about pastoral leaders and mental health, as well as how pastoral leaders’ perception of mental health may impact how they discuss this topic within their own organizations. Furthermore, for readers who are clinicians, this study contributes to the body of knowledge about what pastoral leaders and constituents may need, as one considers opportunities for collaboration.
本研究的目的是探索基于信仰的组织(FBO)中牧师领袖对心理健康和关系问题的态度、信仰和观点。作为之前一项研究(Moore et al.,2016)的后续研究,作者旨在深入了解牧民领袖如何看待他们在组织中与促进良好心理健康和关系健康相关的角色。利用定性描述,作者向12名牧民领袖分发了一份调查报告以完成调查。他们的回答提出了三个主题,其中包括:(1)定义心理健康;(2) 牧师领袖在心理健康方面的作用;(3)牧民领导的心理健康需求。在这项研究中,研究人员讨论了临床意义,并就牧师领袖和信仰组织如何解决其成员之间的心理健康和关系健康问题提出了建议。我们相信这项研究与本杂志的读者有关,因为它有助于讨论牧师领袖和心理健康,以及牧师领袖对心理健康的看法如何影响他们在自己的组织内讨论这个话题。此外,对于临床医生的读者来说,这项研究有助于了解牧民领袖和选民可能需要什么,因为人们考虑合作的机会。

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs faced extraordinary challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined how ACPE-certified educators responded to maintain program delivery. Survey results (n = 210) suggested a substantial and abrupt increase in remote delivery for CPE instruction and supervised clinical practice, primarily driven by those previously fully in-person. Respondents reported abrupt changes impacted 1152 students. Participants rated their utilization and helpfulness of professional, organizational, and technology resources during the pivot and beyond.
