Weeping In The Household: Equipping Pastoral Caregivers Among Grieving Families At Grace Presbyterian Church In Baltimore, Maryland, Charles Brandon Brewer

Children's Hospital—New Orleans is a regional medical center for children with a 247-bed capacity. The hospital is growing in size and scope.

Per conversation with fellow chaplains of other hospitals, this same staffing challenge in meeting the spiritual and emotional component of whole-person care is consistent. However, there is a potential solution. Staff and community volunteers with a spiritual bent have shown interest in filling this gap of spiritual and emotional …
Equipping Elders And Deacons From The Gethsemane French Seventh-Day Adventist Church For Effective Visitation In Healthcare Settings, Brian Ladiny

This project aims to increase and enhance the knowledge of lay leaders to effectively visit the sick in the healthcare setting.
The Method. Three training sessions on visiting the sick in …

Method
An original perception-test instrument was used to measure the perceived feelings of burnout among approximately eighty …
