Understanding Clinical Chaplaincy Approach to Biomedical Ethics: An Imminent Need and a Challenge [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
While we, the medical community, have recognized “Spirituality” as a vital component of health, we have not yet clearly defined the term “spirituality” for clinical education, care, and research. Though we have a robust clinical spiritual care program called Clinical Chaplaincy and, though chaplains work so closely with us, medical professionals, we have not yet conceptualized the framework of Clinical Chaplaincy process nor understood how patients are healed through it. With my year-long clinical chaplaincy residency training I realize that only through our experiential understanding we will be able to conceptualize the pieces of the chaplaincy-puzzle. I also, consider that as medical students, you need to be introduced to the “research lab” where the initial understandings of chaplaincy processes are being generated. A complete clinical “Verbatim case report” of the Clinical Chaplaincy process is provided for the reader to inductively study the “qualitative data” of the spiritual care process. This chapter is meant to provide (1) a comprehensive understanding of a clinical chaplain-patient interaction, (2) to highlight how chaplains guide and accompany their patients in their “mindful walk” through their pain and struggles (3) to finally arrive at a deeply and empathetically centered spot within oneself from where (4) the patient would draw his/her own meaning and purpose in the painful loss leading to their healing. The focus in this chapter is to highlight how the chaplain guides the patient through the ethics of medical decision-making process. In this, the mindfulness-based processes of clinical chaplaincy will also be studied.
