Summary
Chaplain interactions benefit both primary care recipients and visitors/caregivers. While primary recipients report more religious and valuable experiences, spiritual care extends to a broader audience.
Area of Science:
- Palliative Care
- Spiritual Care
- Healthcare Chaplaincy
Background:
- Chaplains are integral to palliative and supportive care teams.
- Spiritual care is a vital component of holistic patient support.
- Existing research often overlooks non-primary recipients of chaplaincy services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe chaplain interactions from the perspective of care recipients.
- To identify distinct groups receiving chaplaincy care.
- To compare the experiences of different recipient groups.
Main Methods:
- Utilized data from a nationally representative survey (Gallup, March 2022).
- Employed bivariate analysis to compare recipient experiences.
- Identified and analyzed interactions with primary recipients versus visitors/caregivers.
Main Results:
- Identified two key recipient groups: primary recipients and visitors/caregivers.
- Found that a significant proportion of chaplain interactions involve visitors/caregivers.
- Primary recipients were more likely to report religious and valuable interactions.
Conclusions:
- This study first delineates primary recipients and visitors/caregivers as distinct groups receiving chaplaincy care.
- Care recipient experiences with chaplains vary based on their role.
- Findings have significant implications for optimizing spiritual care practices.

Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.
