Primaire uitkomstmaten
The effect of the work of chaplains in the Netherlands on the basis of PROMs (patient reported outcome measure). To make clear the difference chaplains make on the basis of both quantitative outcome measures (fear, general well-being, mental well-being...) and qualitative outcome measures (how do patients / clients / residents experience the conversation with the chaplain?).
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Rationale: There are indications that interventions by chaplains are successful, but these provide little information about interventions in the real life context.
Objective: Measuring the impact of the work of chaplains.
Study design: Quantitative intervention study.
Study population: Patients / clients / residents of a hospital / psychiatry / nursing home or nursing home from the age of 18 respectively.
Intervention (if applicable): Participants from the intervention group receive spiritual care tailored to their needs. The control group receives normal care as offered in the facilities, with the exception of spiritual care because this person did not ask for it or because he / she was not referred to it. Randomization takes place to organize participants in the intervention or control group, after participants could also indicate whether or not they would like a visit from the chaplain.
Main study parameters / endpoints: Patients / clients / residents belonging to the intervention group will report a greater positive difference between their pre- and post-measurement in PROM score than patients / clients / residents belonging to the control group.
This study aims to meet the lack of scientific knowledge about the effects of interventions by chaplains in healthcare institutions. In the present study this concerns the spiritual care of patients / clients / residents in Dutch hospitals, nursing homes and psychiatry. The results of the quantitative prospective study will provide insights into whether or not measurable short-term effects can be observed after having a (group) conversation (whether or not combined with ritual) by chaplains compared to a control group of patients / clients / residents who did not have a (group) conversation.
Doel van het onderzoek
Patients / clients / residents belonging to the intervention group will report a greater positive difference between their pre- and post-measurement in the PROM score than patients / clients / residents belonging to the control group.
