The global COVID-19 pandemic has revealed healthcare settings as sites of much-needed scrutiny as to the workings of racism and racialization in shaping healthcare encounters, health outcomes, and workplace conditions. Little research has focused on how healthcare chaplains experience and respond to social processes of racism and racialization. We apply a critical race lens to understand racism and racialization in healthcare chaplaincy, and inspired by Patricia Hill Collins, propose a "critical multifaith approach." Drawing on research in healthcare in Canada and England, we generated four composite narratives to analyze racialization's variability and resistances employed by Indigenous, Arab, Black, and White chaplains. The composites disclose complex intersecting histories of colonialism, religion, race, and gender. Developing a critical multifaith perspective on healthcare delivery is an essential competency for chaplains wanting to impact the systems in which they serve in the direction of more equitable human flourishing.
全球 COVID-19 大流行揭示了医疗保健环境作为急需审查的场所，以了解种族主义和种族化在塑造医疗保健接触、健康结果和工作场所条件方面的作用。很少有研究关注医疗保健圣职人员如何体验和应对种族主义和种族化的社会进程。我们应用批判种族理论来理解医疗保健圣职人员中的种族主义和种族化，并受帕特里夏·希尔·柯林斯（Patricia Hill Collins）的启发，提出了“批判多元信仰方法”。借鉴加拿大和英国的医疗保健研究，我们生成了四个综合叙述，以分析原住民、阿拉伯人、黑人以及白人圣职人员所经历的种族化的可变性和抵制。这些综合叙述揭示了殖民主义、宗教、种族和性别之间复杂的交织历史。对于希望影响他们所服务的系统以实现更加公平的人类繁荣的圣职人员来说，发展对医疗保健服务的批判多元信仰视角是一项基本能力。
