Abstract
Caregivers of children with medical complexity face daily tasks comparable to pediatric critical care nursing with multiple stressors. This may result in emotional and spiritual distress. Caregivers may also rely on their religion and spirituality to cope. Chaplains have the potential to support caregivers in this setting, beginning with spiritual assessment. This study's purpose was to verify the feasibility and acceptability of the Spiritual Care Assessment and Intervention framework adapted for home-based chaplaincy with caregivers of children receiving home mechanical ventilation (SCAI-Peds). A quasi-experimental, proof-of-concept trial with N = 6 caregivers and two board certified chaplains was carried out. SCAI-Peds was acceptable and feasible to caregivers, delivered with high fidelity, and was also acceptable to the chaplains. Home-based intervention delivery may provide more room for reflection and reframing than acute care settings. The results warrant advancing SCAI-Peds beyond the pilot stage.
