Resilience and Spirituality in the Conduct of “Caretakers”: Role and Relationships in Professional and Volunteer Spiritual Care

该项目分析了与卫生保健专业人员、医院牧师和志愿护理人员(在这里被归入“照顾者”一词)的小组讨论。该项目探索了扮演看护人角色的人类如何分享和解释他们与患者之间潜在的精神/宗教互动，并从复原力的角度进行叙述。该项目采用拉尔夫·本萨克的“纪录片方法”，分析了10个小组讨论，目的是发展一种类型学。理论视角是实践神学/精神关怀的诗学视角。本项目所属的更广泛的复原力研究小组将制定改进的复原力理论及其术语规范，包括宗教和灵性方面，并开发改进实践的方法。具体地说，护理员项目将有助于澄清对复原力的理解--即通过复原力伞式项目形成的复原力的哪些方面--符合各种医院从业人员的典型经验和解释，以及新的理解在哪些方面给护理员的工作带来挑战。

The project analyzes group discussions with health care professionals, hospital chaplains and volunteer care givers (here subsumed under the term "caretaker"). The project explores how humans in the role of caretaker share and interpret their – potentially spiritual / religious – interactions with patients in terms of resilience narratives. The project analyzes 10 group discussions, employing the “documentary method” according to Ralf Bohnsack, and aims to develop a typology. The theory perspective is that of practical theology / poimenics of Spiritual care. The broader resilience research group of which this project is a part will develop an improved theory of resilience and its terminological specifications, including aspects of religion and spirituality as well as developing ways to improve practice. Specifically, the caretaker project will help to clarify which points of the understanding of resilience - i.e. as developed through the resilience umbrella project - are in line with typical experiences and interpretations of various hospital practitioners and where the new understanding leads to challenges for the caretakers in their work.
