Hospital-based chaplains receive specialized training to provide spiritual support to patients and healthcare staff during difficult health transitions. However, the impact of perceived chaplain importance on healthcare staff's emotional and professional well-being is unclear. Healthcare staff (n = 1471) caring for patients in an acute care setting within a large health system answered demographic and emotional health questions in Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap). Findings suggest that as perceived levels of chaplain importance increase, burnout may decrease and compassion satisfaction may improve. Chaplain presence in the hospital setting may support healthcare staff emotional and professional well-being following occupational stressors including COVID-19-related surges.
医院的牧师接受专门的培训，以便在困难的健康过渡期间为患者和医护人员提供精神支持。然而，牧师的重要性对医护人员的情感和职业健康的影响尚不清楚。在一个大型医疗系统中，在急症护理环境中照顾患者的医护人员（n=1471）在 Research Electronic Data Capture（REDCap）中回答了人口统计学和情绪健康问题。研究结果表明，随着牧师重要性的感知程度提高，倦怠感可能会降低，而同情心满意度可能会提高。在医院环境中设立牧师职位可能有助于医护人员在面临职业压力源（包括与 COVID-19 相关的激增）时保持情感和职业健康。
