Based on qualitative data from four focus group interviews involving 16 chaplains across somatic and psychiatric units, the study explores how chaplains understand, experience, and reflect on their role in existential conversations. Three main themes emerged: the chaplains' theological and worldview profiles, their openness to diverse worldviews, and the dilemmas they face in balancing professional identity with interdisciplinary expectations. The findings highlight chaplains' capacity to create meaningful, non-judgmental spaces for dialogue, where suffering and hope can be explored. However, the absence of explicitly articulated frameworks may limit their visibility and integration in interdisciplinary care. The study underscores the importance of clarifying the chaplain's role in modern healthcare and developing shared professional language to strengthen existential care for patients in crisis.","PeriodicalId":45330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an online survey with fixed-choice and open-text questions, gathering data from 288 ECHCs. Their responses revealed substantial gaps between traditional academic programs, such as the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, and the competencies needed for effective healthcare chaplaincy, with only 40% of respondents feeling adequately prepared. Although Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) was recognized for fostering practical skills and self-awareness, areas for improvement were noted by 15%-50%. The study highlights the need for integrated curricula that combine academic knowledge with clinical practice, ensuring chaplains are equipped with the competencies needed to meet the demands of modern healthcare.

We analyzed 53 empirical studies that met the inclusion criteria. Six collaborative roles for chaplains were identified: relationship and communication facilitation, consultation for whole-person care, education, staff support, research collaboration, and collaborative leadership. The latter category included five additional characteristic interprofessional leadership roles: leading by spiritual care expertise, fostering interprofessional collaboration, mediation and conflict management, advocacy and change leadership, and improving decision-making.

In Part 2 of a two-part scoping review, we examine the factors that influence chaplains' collaboration and leadership. The review included 53 studies to map the relevant literature. Our analysis identified (a) four key factors: relational factors, the professional chaplain role, attitudes influencing collaboration, and leadership action, and (b) two contextual factors: power dynamics and organizational conditions that provide an embedded environment, dynamically shaping and interacting with facilitators and barriers. Findings provide valuable insights for the effective integration of chaplains in interprofessional practice and illuminate the need for proactive approaches from both chaplains and healthcare systems. Incorporating interprofessional education and shared experiences throughout chaplaincy training and professional development is essential to enhance chaplains' ability to collaborate and lead in interprofessional settings.","PeriodicalId":45330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research about the prevalence and harmful effects of religious/spiritual distress underscores the importance of effective methods for identifying patients who would benefit from spiritual care. Spiritual screening is a valuable way to help healthcare colleagues identify patients who would benefit from further assessment and spiritual care. To help spiritual care programs implement spiritual screening, in this article chaplains from six organizations with successful spiritual screening describe the development and implementation of their programs. The settings for these screening programs include hospital inpatients, oncology outpatient centers, palliative care, and population health. The descriptions include the screening questions used, how they are administered, and what it took to get them implemented. Common and unique features of these six approaches to spiritual screening are discussed along with areas for future research.","PeriodicalId":45330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145126334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its integration into clinical practice often lacks clarity, limiting its effectiveness for healthcare practitioners. This study explores the practical relevance of the Operational Model of Spirituality developed by Canda and colleagues, applying it to foundational texts from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Using qualitative content analysis, we examined how the model's five spiritual drives-meaning of self, meaning of the world, belonging with self, belonging with the world, and profound experience-are reflected in the AA recovery narrative. Our findings highlight distinct subthemes that reflect a movement in the recovery narrative from expressions of maladaptive coping, such as avoidance and denial, to representations of more adaptive orientations, including acceptance and present-focused living. These themes underscore the importance of authenticity, connection, wholeness, and consistent spiritual experiences in fostering recovery. We conclude that this operational framework offers chaplains a structured, evidence-informed approach to spiritual care that can enhance support for individuals navigating addiction recovery.","PeriodicalId":45330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative analysis of the National Study of Religious Leaders (NSRL) survey data (N = 1600) resulted in three statistically significant logistic regression models. Conflicts with scientific beliefs, openness to changing beliefs based on scientific findings, and race/ethnicity were associated with religious leaders' recommendations related to stopping curative treatment. Multiple factors such as belief in miraculous healing, the prosperity gospel, and openness to changing beliefs based on scientific findings, were associated with hoping for a miracle.
