Ambulance staff wellbeing programs aim to support the bio-psycho-social and sometimes spiritual needs of paramedics. While evidence demonstrates strong connections between spirituality and/or religion to wellbeing outcomes, little is known about spiritual care in ambulance services or its impact. The aim of this study was to investigate paramedics' perspectives on the role and value of Australian ambulance chaplains. A cross-sectional online study of registered paramedics in Australia was conducted between November and December 2022. Analysis of the 150 responses identified that paramedics viewed the chaplain's role as one built on professional caring relationships that provided proactive and reactive care in paramedic workplaces. Chaplains were perceived to promote wellbeing by incorporating emotional, psychological, social and spiritual care, and assisting paramedics to access additional support. Perceived religiousness of chaplains and organisational factors were barriers to paramedics accessing chaplains, while pre-existing relationships and shared experiences positively influenced paramedics decision to seek chaplain support.
救护车工作人员福利项目旨在满足护理人员的生物-心理-社会需求，有时还包括精神需求。虽然有证据表明灵性和/或宗教与幸福结果之间存在紧密联系，但对于救护服务中的精神关怀及其影响却知之甚少。本研究的目的是调查护理人员对澳大利亚救护车牧师的角色和价值的看法。2022年11月至12月间，对澳大利亚注册护理人员进行了一项横断面在线研究。对150份回复的分析表明，护理人员认为牧师的角色建立在专业关怀关系之上，在护理工作场所提供主动和被动护理。牧师被认为通过提供情感、心理、社会和精神关怀，并协助护理人员获得额外支持来促进幸福感。牧师的宗教信仰和组织因素是护理人员接触牧师的障碍，而先前存在的关系和共同经历则对护理人员寻求牧师支持的决定产生积极影响。
