A. INTRODUCTION AND THEOLOGY OF MINISTRY:

St. Paul’s Hospital is an acute health care facility offering a comprehensive range of services to residents of Saskatoon and its environs. Inspired by the example of the Grey Nuns, who, in their shared faith in God, revealed the goodness and love of God, the creator of all people by way of honoring the mystery of life, respecting the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of all people, the hospital continues to provide health care with understanding and compassion, valuing the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of patients and families, and responding creatively to the urgent needs of the community.

In Collaboration with the health care institution, I exercise my duties as a chaplain, observing the norms and values adhered in the hospital. Operating in the context of my ministry as a spiritual care-giver, I see myself as a servant care giver who listens to and supports the sick, the elderly, the disabled, and their families.

The act of care giving is ‘time giving’. We are created in time to live in mutual dependence with a sense of solidarity to one another. Since we all share the same human frailty we all need the support and encouragement of one another. My role therefore is to make myself available with passion as a companion to listen and support, not because I

    First of all we need to look at what is meant by the word ‘carer’. A government website agrees “the word ‘carer’ means someone who looks after a friend, relative or neighbour who needs support because of their sickness, age or disability”. (Directgov 2006). A carer goes beyond what is expected from a relative, friend or neighbour; they are not paid like some professionals known as care workers, although they are vital to the government in providing care to some of the most vulnerable. The type of care given within the family environment saves the government billions a year which otherwise would be unaffordable. I am going to discuss throughout the assignment Anne Walker a stepdaughter caring for her stepfather Angus McPhail and touch upon the challenges both these people face in their daily life’s when giving and receiving care.…

    My role in care is not to do things “for” the individuals but to do things “with” them. My role is to work in partnership with the individual and support their decisions, regarding their care and support them to do as much as possible for themselves. If I provide too much care for an individual they can lose skills, not learn new skills and do not regain skills they have lost. By providing active support and encouraging the individual to participate in their daily living needs and helping them to develop and maintain their skills for everyday life.…

    Health care providers encounter and care for a diverse population of patients. When caring for these patients, providers must be properly prepared to care for not only for their cultural needs but also for their spiritual/faith needs. Nurses must have a basic yet broad knowledge of cultural and spiritual needs of patients whether in the hospital setting, clinic setting, or physician’s office. This document will explore three different faiths and compare them to Christianity and the author’s own faith/spirituality. The three faiths being explored and compared are Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Basic knowledge of each one of these culture’s preferences for medical care, prayer/meditation, diet, view of illness, and view of death will permit the health care provider to provide care that is culturally congruent. Providing patient care that is culturally congruent, will help promote patient healing, wellness, and compliance if the patient feels they are being not only medically cared for but spiritually nurtured.…

    In today's society, technological advancements in healthcare has changed the way hospitals provide care and support a comforting environment. Technology has taken over our lives, to the point where many have become dependent on the use of these devices; including healthcare environments. With the use of bedside continuous monitoring, computerized charting, robotics in operating rooms, and many more technological aids throughout the hospital, we as heath care providers are guilty of this too. Until recently, a “healing environment” was not on the top of the list when considering the construction of a new hospital, clinic, or long-term care facility. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the concepts of healing in relation to spirituality. The necessary components that surround creating a “healing environment” despite the challenges and barriers we face with the advancements of todays society will be identified, as well as the importance of including this essential image of 'healing' within our healthcare facilities.…

    I believe that theology is lived and that it must be grounded in religious experience. I believe also that theology grows as I grow; it changes as I change, and it evolves as I evolve. Everyone has a sacred story to tell and that is why I am a hospital chaplain, to be there in the sacred and holy moments in which people need a companion to enter into the journey with. Completely in the flow of the moment, I am giving my full attention, listening to discover the person’s sorrow, suffering, joy, strength, unique experiences, and connectedness to the divine. I am privileged to be a companion to our patients and families as they draw upon their beliefs, values and support systems to deal with sickness, homelessness, sorrow, poverty, dying, chronic illness, and all of life’s changes.…
