What are Canadian chaplains' experiences of published assessment tools? Utilizing a quantitative and qualitative methodology with multiple investigators and theoretical triangulation, this article reports the results of a survey of chaplains in the Canadian Association for Pastoral Practice and Education (CAPPE) and interview results of 15 chaplains in three focus groups. Findings indicated that published spiritual assessment tools are not well know, used little, criticized for being reductionistic and not fitting the clinical situation. Participants noted, however, that spiritual assessment is needed for spiritual care. Thirty percent reported the development of their own tools (not published) and three published tools were mentioned by 50% and more. Discussion, limitations of the research, and suggestions for education, practice, and future research are offered.
加拿大牧师对已发表的评估工具的体验如何？本文采用多研究者的定量和定性方法以及理论三角互证法，报告了对加拿大 pastoral Practice and Education协会（CAPPE）牧师的调查结果以及三个焦点小组中15位牧师的访谈结果。研究结果表明，已发表的精神评估工具知名度不高，使用较少，被批评过于简化且不符合临床情况。然而，参与者指出，精神护理需要精神评估。30%的人报告开发了自己的工具（未发表），50%及以上的人提到了三种已发表的工具。文中还提供了讨论、研究的局限性以及对教育、实践和未来研究的建议。
