Spiritist Hospital Chaplaincy in Brazil has been growing significantly in recent years, with the implementation of new services through the work of Spiritist Medical Associations (SMAs) in different regions of the country. This article describes the importance of historical interconnections from the advent of spiritism in the world and its introduction in Brazil to the emergence of Spiritist Hospital Chaplaincy in our country and presents the documented experience over 5 years of spiritist chaplain care, in the period from 2012 to 2016, guided by the SMA of Piracicaba at the Unimed Hospital of Piracicaba (São Paulo). We documented 41,914 visits to 13,983 inpatients and an analysis of these records allowed us to reflect on the importance of this service and confirm its expansion and acceptance by different contemporary religious beliefs.
近年来,巴西的唯灵论医院牧师关怀工作发展显著,通过唯灵论医学协会(SMA)在该国不同地区开展的工作,实施了新的服务。本文描述了从唯灵论在世界上出现及其引入巴西到我国唯灵论医院牧师关怀工作出现的历史联系的重要性,并介绍了2012年至2016年期间在皮拉西卡巴的Unimed医院(圣保罗),在皮拉西卡巴的SMA指导下,5年来唯灵论牧师关怀的记录经验。我们记录了对13983名住院患者的41914次探访,对这些记录的分析使我们能够思考这项服务的重要性,并确认其在当代不同宗教信仰中的扩展和接受情况。
