“…This approach is reflected in the literature and is testament to the evolving professional role of the healthcare chaplain. 12,16,[45][46][47] Chaplains serve as key healthcare workers by providing supportive care, especially in difficult or challenging times, such as end of life. 19 They also have an emerging role in supporting the healthcare team's ethical decision making and in providing pastoral support to healthcare staff.…”

“…There is invisibility to chaplaincy work, 53 possibly due to the nature of the work, limited empirical scrutiny or challenges to applying this approach to therapeutic work. 45 Perceived invisibility may also be a consequence of working seamlessly within a healthcare system and fitting the description of a 'complimentary' role 48 (p. 400). Complimentary roles are generally highly valued and also develop and change over time to grow to compliment the system and changing healthcare needs.…”

Aim: To explore healthcare chaplains’ experience of providing spiritual support to individuals and families from minority religious and non-religious faiths and to identify key elements of the role. Background: Currently, there is limited research uncovering the essential elements of healthcare chaplaincy, specifically with reference to religious and/or spiritual diversity, and as interprofessional collaborators with nurses and midwives in healthcare. Research design and participants: Using phenomenology, we interviewed eight healthcare chaplains from a variety of healthcare settings in the Republic of Ireland. Data were analysed using a seven-step framework comprising Moustakas’ (1994) modification of the Van Kaam method of data analysis. Ethical considerations: Ethical approval was granted by the university and the principles of informed consent applied. Findings: Three main themes emerged: what the chaplain brings; components of ritual, minority faith or no faith; and practising chaplaincy. Subthemes included ‘offering’, ‘awareness and insight’, ‘acceptance and empathy’, ‘skilled companionship’, ‘presence’, ‘a confidant and holder of hope’ and ‘a vital resource’. Discussion and conclusions: The healthcare chaplain is a key collaborator in facilitating holistic person-centred care and in supporting healthcare professionals. Chaplaincy services are an essential but largely unrecognised and potentially cost-effective component of interprofessional team working. Relevance to clinical practice: This study has illuminated key aspects of the healthcare chaplain’s role as interprofessional collaborator in person-centred care, in navigating diversity and ensuring respect and dignity for the person irrespective of religious or spiritual care needs.

“…Objectif et structure de l'étude L'objectif de cette étude, certes exploratoire, est d'une part, de contribuer aux débats théoriques sur les évolutions des aumôneries dans le contexte contemporain (Abu-Ras & Laird, 2011;Baude et al, 2018;Becci, 2018;Poncin et al, 2020;Schmid, 2020;Schmid & Sheikhzadegan, 2020;Schneuwly Purdie, 2014;Sheikh et al, 2004). D'autre part d'apporter un éclairage ciblé sur les évolutions des aumôneries dans quatre types d'institutions publiques : les hôpitaux, les prisons, les écoles et les centres / foyers pour requérant•e•s d'asile, et ce dans les cantons de Genève et Vaud.…”

“…These are parts of a bigger effort in European and American research on spiritual and existential care in institutions. Over the last twenty years, the body of theoretical and empirical chaplaincy research has expanded greatly (Poncin et al, 2019) as e.g. the European Research Institute for Chaplaincy in Healthcare (ERICH) exemplifies.…”

In this article we present some developmental patterns in the 100 years long history of of health care chaplaincy in the Nordic countries, particularely in Norway. We argue that a shift is gradually taking place from what can be regardes as a religious service model to an existential care model. This can be seen within the context of specialization and professionalization both in health care and chaplaincy, as well on the background of pluralization in society. We point at some challenges for chaplaincy regarding delimitation and the relationships between religious and secular anchoring of chaplaincy, the routines for referrals to chaplains, implementation of chaplaincy and inter-disciplinary work in hospitals, and the need for continuous work on knowledge development and research
