Analysis of Covariance was conducted on quantitative data collected by chaplains from January 2005 to December 2008. Data from 82 Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant chaplains, consisting of 53 CPE students and 29 professional chaplains were used in this study. Overall, chaplains exhibited a statistically significant higher rate of prayer with patients from their own religion (religious concordance) than they did with patients of different religions (religious discordance). There was also an interaction of chaplain religion and religious concordance wherein Protestant chaplains were 50% more likely to pray with Protestant patients than with patients of other religions, and Catholic chaplains were 20% more likely to pray with Catholic patients than with other patients. Chaplains were also significantly more likely to pray with patients of their own gender (gender concordance) than with patients of the other gender (gender discordance).
对2005年1月至2008年12月期间牧师收集的定量数据进行了协方差分析。本研究使用了82名天主教、犹太教和新教牧师的数据，其中包括53名临床神职教育（CPE）学生和29名专业牧师。总体而言，与来自不同宗教的患者（宗教不一致）相比，牧师与来自其自身宗教的患者（宗教一致）祈祷的比例在统计学上显著更高。牧师宗教信仰与宗教一致性之间也存在交互作用，其中新教牧师与新教患者祈祷的可能性比与其他宗教患者高50%，天主教牧师与天主教患者祈祷的可能性比与其他患者高20%。与异性患者（性别不一致）相比，牧师也显著更有可能与同性患者（性别一致）祈祷。
