Zusammenfassung:Healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand is currently undergoing major reform. A document review of spiritual care policies of (former) District Health Boards (DHBs) obtained via the Official Information Act 1982 was undertaken in August 2022. Dalglish, Khalid and McMahon’s (2020) READ process was used for analysis. Eight of twenty DHBs reported that they had no spiritual care policy. While there is commonality in terms of pastoral interventions provided, there is variation in how chaplains are expected to practice. Spiritual care policy needs to be refreshed and standardised to allow chaplains to better meet the diverse needs of patients receiving care in Aotearoa New Zealand hospitals.
