Description
Résumé:The author systematically reviews the literature on hospital chaplain burnout, compassion fatigue, and job satisfaction using comprehensive databases from Medicine (medline), psychology (PsychINFO), religion (atla), nursing (cinahl), and sociology (Sociological Abstracts) between 1980 and 2015. While there are several studies that pertain to job satisfaction among church-based clergy, there are few studies that focus upon the particular challenges faced by hospital chaplains. Hospital chaplain job satisfaction is generally high. However, there are particular stressors unique to the chaplaincy that merit special consideration. Several recommendations around hospital chaplain coping and future directions are discussed.
