Abstract

This first-of-its-kind study explored the essential competencies healthcare chaplaincy hiring managers (HCHMs) sought for entry-level healthcare chaplains (HCCs). We conducted qualitative interviews with 16 HCHMs and using reflexive thematic analysis (RTA), developed nine key themes: interpersonal skills, teamwork, knowledge of family and group dynamics, understanding of the healthcare system, professionalism, proficiency in spiritual assessment, effective communication, commitment to lifelong learning, and knowledge of various religious and spiritual beliefs, extending beyond one's own faith tradition. These themes reflected HCCs roles as healthcare professionals who contribute to patient care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and spiritual leadership responsibilities. The study underscored the need for chaplaincy education to integrate healthcare-specific coursework, interprofessional training, cultural and religious humility, and deeper knowledge of diverse belief systems. Developing and incorporating curriculum standards based on these themes could enhance the readiness of HCCs to deliver comprehensive care and meet the dynamic demands of diverse patient populations within today's healthcare landscape.

医疗保健牧师的基本能力:招聘经理的见解和对牧师教育的影响。
这项同类研究首次探讨了医疗保健牧师招聘经理(HCHMs)希望入门级医疗保健牧师(HCCs)具备的基本能力。我们对 16 名医疗保健牧师进行了定性访谈,并利用反思性主题分析 (RTA) 提出了九个关键主题:人际交往技能、团队合作、对家庭和团体动态的了解、对医疗保健系统的理解、专业精神、精通灵性评估、有效沟通、致力于终身学习,以及对各种宗教和灵性信仰的了解(超越自身信仰传统)。这些主题反映了圣职人员作为医疗保健专业人员在病人护理、跨学科合作和精神领导责任方面的作用。研究强调,牧师教育需要整合医疗保健专业课程、跨专业培训、文化和宗教谦逊以及对不同信仰体系的深入了解。根据这些主题制定并纳入课程标准,可提高保健中心提供全面护理的准备程度,并满足当今医疗保健环境中不同患者群体的动态需求。
