This article reports findings from an action research project in which a university chaplaincy team explored the desirability and viability of assessing their impact. It uncovers a complexity in chaplains' understandings about their role and - chief amongst their fears - belief that quantitative measures can be harmful to pastoral and spiritual work. It also reveals a sense of institutional accountability and a desire to engage with processes for determining and articulating chaplaincy's value.
本文报告了一个行动研究项目的研究结果，该项目由大学牧师团队开展，旨在探索评估其影响的可取性和可行性。研究揭示了牧师对自身角色的理解的复杂性，以及他们最担心的一点，即认为定量措施可能会对牧灵和属灵工作造成伤害。研究还揭示了一种机构问责感，以及牧师团队参与确定和表达自身价值的过程的愿望。
