Abstract

This work evaluated the experiences of 45 patients of children with cancer and 101 cancer patients with their home pastors and hospital chaplains. The sttisfactions and difficulties enountered in these interactions are detailed, and recommendations are offered to aid persons in acute distress. Individuals in these circumstances appear to desire spiritual support more than evident psychologial aid, though the skillful use of the latter to understant the religious desires of the patients and parents is appreciated. It is also evident that pastors dealing which problems related to potential terminality are themselves under considerble stress.

摘要

这项工作评估了 45 名癌症儿童患者和 101 名癌症患者与他们的家庭牧师和医院牧师的互动体验。详细描述了这些互动中遇到的满足感和困难，并提出了建议，以帮助处于急性困境中的人。处于这种情况的人似乎更渴望精神支持，而不是明显的心理援助，尽管后者在理解患者和家长的宗教愿望方面很有用。显然，处理与潜在终末期相关问题的牧师本身也承受着相当大的压力。
