Journal clubs are an established and effective method of promoting research literacy and evidence-based practice in the medical field. However, their use in clinical pastoral education (CPE) residencies is relatively new and largely unstudied. In 2016 we surveyed 201 ACPE certified educators of CPE residency programs throughout the United States. Eighty-eight certified educators participated in this first-of-its-kind study. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and structure of existing CPE journal clubs and establish baseline data to determine the effectiveness of future programs for increasing research literacy. Seventy-three percent of respondents indicated they did not have a journal club. Journal clubs that do exist tend to meet at least monthly and last one to two hours. Chaplains, certified educators, or chaplain residents lead the majority of journal clubs. Seventy percent of respondents whose programs had journal clubs indicated they were interested to learn more about journal clubs. Journal clubs do not appear to be common in CPE residencies and chaplains may feel unprepared to lead them. CPE journal clubs would likely be strengthened by collaboration with other disciplines and from additional training for CPE certified educators. We offer suggestions to this end as well as areas for further research.
期刊俱乐部是在医学领域促进研究素养和循证实践的一种既定且有效的方法。然而，它们在临床牧师教育（CPE）住院医师培训中的使用相对较新，且在很大程度上尚未得到研究。2016 年，我们调查了美国各地 201 个经过 ACPE 认证的 CPE 住院医师培训项目的教育者。88 名经过认证的教育者参与了这项首例研究。我们的目的是确定现有的 CPE 期刊俱乐部的流行程度和结构，并建立基准数据，以确定未来提高研究素养的项目的有效性。73%的受访者表示他们没有期刊俱乐部。现有的期刊俱乐部往往至少每月开会一次，持续一到两个小时。大多数期刊俱乐部由牧师、认证教育者或牧师居民领导。70%的表示其项目有期刊俱乐部的受访者表示他们有兴趣了解更多关于期刊俱乐部的信息。期刊俱乐部在 CPE 住院医师培训中似乎并不常见，而且牧师可能觉得自己没有准备好领导它们。CPE 期刊俱乐部可能会通过与其他学科的合作以及为 CPE 认证教育者提供更多培训而得到加强。我们为此提供了一些建议以及进一步研究的领域。
