Healthcare chaplains operate in many healthcare sites internationally and yet their contribution is not always clearly understood by medical and healthcare staff. This review aims to explore the chaplains' role in healthcare, with a view to informing best practice in future healthcare chaplaincy. Overall the extent of the provision and staffing of chaplaincy service internationally is unclear. From this review, several key spiritual and pastoral roles in healthcare emerge including a potential contribution to ethical decision making at the end of life. Healthcare chaplains are key personnel, already employed in many healthcare organizations, who are in a pivotal position to contribute to future developments of faith-based care, faith-sensitive pastoral, and spiritual care provision. They also have a new and evolving role in ethical support of patient, families and healthcare teams.
医疗保健牧师在国际上的许多医疗场所开展工作，但他们的贡献并非总能被医务人员和医疗保健人员清楚理解。本综述旨在探讨牧师在医疗保健中的作用，以便为未来医疗保健牧师工作的最佳实践提供信息。总体而言，国际上牧师服务的提供范围和人员配备情况尚不清楚。通过本综述，医疗保健中出现了几个关键的精神和牧养角色，包括对临终伦理决策的潜在贡献。医疗保健牧师是许多医疗保健机构已经聘用的关键人员，他们在基于信仰的护理、对信仰敏感的牧养和精神护理服务的未来发展中处于关键地位。他们在为患者、家属和医疗团队提供伦理支持方面也发挥着新的、不断演变的作用。
