The paper reports the results of an exploratory online survey among German, Austrian, and Swiss hospital chaplains (n = 158, response rate 17%) to identify the ethical conflicts they encounter in their work. Respondents indicated that questions surrounding end-of-life care are predominant among the conflicts faced. Chaplains get involved with these conflicts most often through the patients themselves or through nursing staff. Most encounters occur during pastoral care visits rather than in structured forms of ethics consultation such as clinical ethics committees. The results add to the ongoing discussion of chaplains as agents in ethics consultation within healthcare systems as well as their specific role and contribution.
本文报告了一项针对德国、奥地利和瑞士医院牧师的探索性在线调查结果（n=158，回应率 17%），旨在确定他们在工作中遇到的伦理冲突。受访者表示，临终关怀相关问题是他们面临的主要冲突之一。牧师最常通过患者本人或护理人员参与这些冲突。大多数冲突发生在牧师探访期间，而不是在临床伦理委员会等结构化的伦理咨询形式中。研究结果增加了关于牧师在医疗保健系统中的伦理咨询中的作用以及他们的特定角色和贡献的持续讨论。
