“…Research was identified related to faith leader self-care, but not within the context of obesity, obesity-related chronic disease, or obesity-related behaviors and thus beyond the scope of this review. 24,[46][47][48][49] These studies, for example, explored pastoral eating and role identities, knowledge of obesity, nutrition and physical activity, spirituality and health, and self-care and job demands in other contexts (eg, mental health). Researchers focusing on obesity and chronic disease may need to explore this self-care literature to identify crosscutting concepts that can be applied in obesity-related research.…”

Objective Faith leaders often serve as health-related role models yet many struggle with obesity and self-care engagement. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine how the faith leader literature has defined self-care and examined obesity and obesity-related chronic disease. Data Source Studies were identified through database (eg, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO), backward, and grey literature (eg, dissertations) searches. Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Studies published in English with participants who were 18 years or older and examined leaders across all faiths. Studies also included an examination of self-care behaviors among faith leaders within the context of obesity or obesity-related chronic diseases. Data Extraction/Synthesis Data synthesis was qualitative and informed by the six-step framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) as well as updated recommendations by Daudt et al (2013). Of the 418 studies identified and screened, 20 met the eligibility criteria. Results Studies were primarily cross-sectional and participants Christian faith-leaders in the US. Most studies did not define self-care or incorporate theory, but focused on vegetarian diets and physical activity engagement. Other self-care related behaviors (eg, sleep, days off), some unique to faith leaders (eg, sabbatical), were included but not systematically. Conclusions Research with more diverse faith leaders and that uses theory is needed to guide development of strategies for engaging this population in self-care to reduce obesity and related chronic diseases.

“…Menurut Terry & Cunningham, (2020), dalam banyak hal rohaniwan adalah populasi yang seringkali diabaikan, namun berisiko tinggi dalam hal kesehatan. Ini dikarenakan dalam upaya untuk memastikan kesejahteraan spiritual umatnya, rohaniwan cenderung mengabaikan kesejahteraannya sendiri dan tidak menyadari potensi dan efek merugikan dari pekerjaannya terhadap kesehatannya (Terry & Cunningham, 2021). Hal ini menyebabkan rohaniwan sangat membutuhkan ketahanan secara fisik dan mental (Sielaff et al, 2021).…”

This research aims to explore the concept of capabilities and functionings according to Hindu clergy (Sulinggih) in Bali, and then identify and confirm the dimensions. These two terms make an important contribution to Amartya Sen's theory of well-being, and this research develops these two concepts in the clergy. This research was designed using mixed methods (exploratory sequential mixed methods) through qualitative research with in-depth interviews with 10 informants and carrying out FGDs attended by 12 participants to explore the concept of Sulinggih's capabilities and functioning and identify its constituent dimensions. The data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model using the NVivo application for the data reduction process. The results of the concept analysis and forming dimensions were then confirmed quantitatively with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) through data collected from questionnaires to 95 respondents. The findings in this research are that functioning in clergy life also involves various aspects of life (not only spiritual aspects), including material, physical, psychological, and social aspects. Capabilities, according to clergy in Bali, are capabilities for the health of the body, thoughts, feelings, and affiliation. The contribution of this research in developing the concept of well-being of the clergy and the implications of this research in religious life in Bali are also discussed in this paper.

“…Clergy are often around food at meetings and church events (Proeschold-Bell et al, 2011 ), and they eat out an average of four nights per week (Carroll, 2006 ). In addition, periods of high stress levels, which are often experienced by clergy (Bledsoe et al, 2013 ; Terry & Cunningham, 2020 ), can induce cravings for calorie-dense foods (Proeschold-Bell et al, 2017 ).…”

Seminary Students and Physical Health: Beliefs, Behaviors, and Barriers

et al. 2022

As an occupational group, clergy exhibit numerous physical health problems. Given the physical health problems faced by clergy, understanding where physical health falls within the priorities of seminary students, the ways students conceptualize physical health, and how seminary students do or do not attend to their physical health in the years immediately prior to becoming clergy, can inform intervention development for both seminary students and clergy. Moreover, understanding and shaping the health practices of aspiring clergy may be particularly impactful, with cascading effects, as clergy serve as important role models for their congregants. Drawing on 36 in-depth, qualitative interviews with first-year seminary students, this study examines the complex dynamics between religious frameworks related to physical health, explicit intentions to maintain healthy practices, and reported physical health behaviors. Our findings suggest that even students who deploy religious frameworks in relation to their physical health—and who, as a result, possess positive intentions to implement and maintain healthy behaviors—often report being unable to live up to their aspirations, especially in the face of barriers to health practices posed by the seminary program itself. After reviewing these findings, we offer suggestions for physical health focused interventions, including action and coping planning, which could be implemented at seminaries to reduce the intention–behavior gap and improve clergy health.
