A questionnaire was sent to a sample of general practitioners in the Avon health district asking whether they perceived a role for the clergy in patient care. Doctors were questioned about both their theoretical attitudes to and practical involvement of clergy in relation to some 20 specific concerns of patients (for example, bereavement, divorce, depression, chronic illness) and to explain from a series of options their reasons for referring or failing to refer patients to clergy. The responses of the 228 respondents showed that they perceived a significant role for the clergy in theory which was not matched in practice. The reasons for the gap between theory and practice are analysed and discussed and suggestions are made as to how the positive responses may be more effectively developed towards improving patient care.
一份问卷被发送给埃文健康区的全科医生样本，询问他们是否认为神职人员在患者护理中发挥作用。医生们被问及他们对神职人员在患者约20个具体问题（如丧亲、离婚、抑郁、慢性病）方面的理论态度和实际参与情况，并从一系列选项中解释他们将患者转介或不转介给神职人员的原因。228名受访者的回答表明，他们在理论上认为神职人员能发挥重要作用，但在实践中并非如此。对理论与实践之间差距的原因进行了分析和讨论，并就如何更有效地发挥积极反应以改善患者护理提出了建议。
