Abstract
Healthcare chaplains may be at heightened risk of encountering potentially morally injurious events. The purpose of the current study was to explore potentially morally injurious events for healthcare chaplains and to identify strategies to enhance health and well-being. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare chaplains (n = 26) across Texas. Participants were recruited across social media, professional listservs, and word of mouth. Textual data were coded and analyzed in conjunction with directed content analysis. Findings suggest that healthcare chaplains encounter morally injurious events that are rooted in acts of omission and commission, witnessing moral transgressions, and betrayal in the workplace. Interventions include dialog with colleagues and supervisors, collaborative and transparent communication, education, and empowerment and advocacy. The study's findings have implications for interdisciplinary care teams, hospital leadership, and professional associations.
