    • Professional Ethics

    Background:

    • Previous research has not fully explored the multifaceted perceptions of hospital chaplains and their alignment with public expectations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how hospital chaplains in Nebraska perceive their professional roles.
    • To identify discrepancies between chaplains' self-perceptions and public understanding of their roles.

    • Main Results:

    • Chaplains identified their roles primarily as counselors, professionals, and religious functionaries.
    • Significant dissensus was observed between chaplains' self-perceptions and the views of relevant publics.
