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

该项目分析了与保健专业人员、医院牧师和志愿护理人员（这里归入“看护人”一词）的小组讨论。该项目探讨了人类如何在看护人的角色中分享和解释他们与病人之间的——潜在的精神/宗教——互动。根据Ralf Bohnsack的说法，该项目分析了10个小组讨论，采用“文献法”，旨在开发一种类型学。理论视角是实践神学/灵修学的视角。本项目所属的更广泛的复原力研究小组将开发一种改进的复原力理论及其术语规范，包括宗教和精神方面，以及开发改进实践的方法。具体而言，看护人项目将有助于澄清对复原力的理解——即通过复原力总括项目发展起来的理解——的哪些要点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看护人的工作带来挑战。

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.
