Session Description

Session 3 will continue our exploration of different research methods, this time with a scoping literature review of chaplaincy in outpatient settings. One of the key recent innovations within the field of chaplaincy has been the expansion of spiritual care beyond the inpatient setting providing a continuum of care in outpatient settings. This discussion will focus on the spiritual care interventions, programs and outcomes related to this unique context. As chaplains juxtapose a ministry of presence with outcome oriented spiritual care, chaplains will hear about the differences in chaplain-led versus team-led interventions and programs.

Aims for Session 3:

  1. To educate chaplains on how to conduct a formal, publishable scoping literature review.
  2. To help chaplains understand the unique challenges and joys of providing spiritual care in outpatient settings.
  3. To help chaplains understand ministry of presence interventions (routine spiritual care) and formalized programs that emphasize outcomes in the context of outpatient settings.

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. 

Preperation

The articles selected for the series are made available, and participants are strongly encouraged to read them in preparation for each webinar.

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.
