Background to the 2025 Webinar Journal Club Series
Season 14 of Webinar Journal Club will focus on Mapping Innovations in Spiritual Care, providing in-depth readings and discussion of research relevant to chaplains in clinical healthcare. Over five sessions, hosts and guests - both article authors and clinical Board Certified Chaplains - will explore topics key to providing spiritual care in the 21st century to a wide variety of people. As the chaplaincy profession continues to incorporate research literacy into our field and certification standards, chaplains have “joined the conversation” with our other healthcare colleagues. The next step, which this season of Webinar Journal Club hopes to foster, is for individuals and the wider profession to move from literacy to incorporating the research knowledge into daily spiritual care practice.
This season will focus on innovations within the profession of chaplaincy through multiple research methodologies. Session 1 will focus on compassion practices to promote compassion within healthcare organizations. Session 2 will focus on the experiences of Muslim chaplains as they navigate the border between religious leader and spiritual caregiver. Session 3 will include a scoping review of interventions and outcomes for chaplains serving in outpatient settings. Session 4 will emphasize spiritual care in small and community hospitals. Session 5 will focus on compassion but this time in terms of how chaplains’ compassion capacity lowers patients’ depression.
Suggested Audience
The series is designed to help chaplains with no prior experience learn to read and understand research. It will also introduce research-literate chaplains to important research that will inform their chaplaincy practice and their ability to advocate for its benefits.
The aims of Webinar Journal Club Season 14 are:
- To provide participants with resources that can help them critically reflect upon and advance their chaplaincy practice through exposure to current innovative research.
- To provide participants with resources that can help them advocate for the importance of chaplaincy care in a multiplicity of settings.
- To help chaplains develop and maintain research literacy, including the ability to critically read research and where appropriate apply the findings in their professional practice.
How It Works
To participate, all that is needed is a computer with Internet access and speakers, as the presentation audio and visuals are broadcast through ZOOM. Our webinars are priced per computer terminal, not per participant. That means you can invite as many colleagues to join you as can fit in your conference room or cluster around your computer. As a participant, you will be able to interact with the presenters, who will ask questions of the audience and answer questions posed by participants. How to participate: Registrants will receive a confirmation with a link to participate in the ZOOM meeting. This confirmation will be sent from ZOOM a couple days before the session. Please do NOT share the Zoom meeting information with others.
Please Note: Many hospitals/institutions limit access to outside service providers (like Zoom) so please check with your IT department to verify access before registering.
