Reports the results of interviews with a random sample (N = 500) of hospital patients responding to the following questions: What percentage of hospital patients consider themselves part of a church or synagogue? How many patients identify a specific parish clergy or some other source who could provide them pastoral support? How many patients received pastoral support during hospitalization from clergy or some other person, and by visit or phone call (excluding hospital chaplains)? How do hospital patients evaluate the helpfulness of these pastoral visits? Discusses the results of the survey, implications for pastoral caregivers, and suggests future research possibilities.
