As professional members of interdisciplinary teams in health care settings, chaplains and social workers must be prepared to interface with each other in a competent manner and to work cooperatively in caring for the needs of patients and their families. This article shares the results of a combined qualitative and quantitative research study (N = 403) that focused on determining chaplains' perceptions of their professional collaborative relationships with social workers. The findings indicate that chaplains have an overall positive perception of their interdisciplinary relationships with social workers. However, the results suggest areas that should be addressed in order to maintain and improve their functioning as colleagues who each play a critical role in providing holistic treatment.
作为医疗保健机构跨学科团队的专业成员，牧师和社会工作者必须做好准备，以胜任的方式相互交流，并在照顾患者及其家属需求方面开展合作。本文分享了一项定性与定量相结合的研究结果（N = 403），该研究专注于确定牧师对其与社会工作者专业协作关系的看法。研究结果表明，牧师对他们与社会工作者的跨学科关系总体持积极看法。然而，结果也指出了一些需要解决的领域，以便维持和改善他们作为同事的工作，他们在提供整体治疗中各自发挥着关键作用。
