The Florida Clergy End-of-Life Education Enhancement Project was a model program developed to provide an interdenominational and statewide model of clergy education on loss, grief dying, and death. The authors describe the project including materials and curriculum as well as present data from the project's evaluation. Clergy and their partners in ministry responded enthusiastically to the project. As a whole, they reported higher levels of knowledge on end-of-life (EOL) issues at the conclusion of the training. Clergy and their ministerial teams also reported that they were better informed about the technical, procedural, medical, and legal issues that arise at the end of life and expressed the desire for subsequent training. The project indicates that clergy both recognize the need for additional training and are anxious to improve their abilities to minister to the dying and bereaved. The model presented here could easily be applied to local organizations such as hospices or denominational training.
佛罗里达神职人员临终关怀教育强化项目是一个模范项目，旨在提供一个跨教派且覆盖全州的神职人员关于丧失、悲痛、临终和死亡的教育模式。作者描述了该项目，包括材料和课程，并展示了项目评估的数据。神职人员及其神职伙伴对该项目反应热烈。总体而言，他们报告称在培训结束时对临终问题的了解程度更高。神职人员及其神职团队还报告说，他们对临终时出现的技术、程序、医疗和法律问题有了更充分的了解，并表示希望接受后续培训。该项目表明，神职人员既认识到需要额外培训，又渴望提高他们为临终者和丧亲者提供服务的能力。这里介绍的模式可以很容易地应用于当地组织，如临终关怀机构或教派培训。
