The aim of this study was to document the longitudinal experiences of chaplains who served during both the early AIDS (1981-1995) and early COVID-19 (2020-2021) pandemics. A total of 11 hospital chaplains were interviewed across the USA and the United Kingdom. Interviews were analyzed using a Grounded theory approach. Chaplains reported multiple stressors during both pandemics, including barriers to integration into care teams, tensions with home religions institutions, burnout, and challenges arising from the politicization of disease. Despite these challenges, chaplains play a vital role during pandemics. Insights from their experiences can inform future strategies for compassionate crisis response.
本研究旨在记录在艾滋病早期(1981-1995 年)和新冠早期(2020-2021 年)这两个时期服务过的牧师的纵向经历。在美国和英国总共采访了 11 位医院牧师。访谈采用扎根理论方法进行分析。牧师报告说,在这两个大流行期间经历了多种压力源,包括融入护理团队的障碍、与家庭宗教机构的紧张关系、倦怠以及疾病政治化带来的挑战。尽管面临这些挑战,牧师在大流行期间仍发挥着至关重要的作用。他们的经验见解可以为未来富有同情心的危机应对策略提供信息。
