Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Professions
  • Pastoral Care
  • Research Literacy

Background:

  • Healthcare chaplains increasingly need to adopt evidence-based practices.
  • Limited research exists on barriers chaplains face in becoming research literate.
  • Pastoral care research requires chaplains to be informed consumers of scientific evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate barriers chaplains encounter in becoming research literate.
  • To examine chaplains' attitudes toward research.
  • To assess the impact of pastoral research workshops on chaplains' feelings about research.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of comments from 94 chaplains attending pastoral research workshops.
  • Assessment of pre- and post-workshop attitudes towards research.
  • Exploration of chaplains' reported feelings and barriers regarding research.

Main Results:

  • Initially, chaplains reported significant anxiety and inadequacy concerning research.
  • Post-workshop, chaplains exhibited a shift towards more positive feelings, including encouragement.
  • A notable portion expressed optimism about integrating research into their practice.

Conclusions:

  • Appropriate education can significantly improve chaplains' research literacy and confidence.
  • Pastoral research workshops are effective in mitigating negative attitudes towards research.
  • Many chaplains are prepared to become active research consumers, with some considering research investigation.
