Health Care

In the hospital, nursing home, care hotel, in the rehabilitation clinic… you can find them everywhere: spiritual caregivers working in healthcare. Of the four fields of work for spiritual care, this is the largest field of work. The Association of Spiritual Caregivers (VGVZ) is the national professional association for spiritual caregivers and has approximately 1550 members. We therefore conduct our research and further training in consultation with and support of the VGVZ. Themes that play a role in spiritual care in healthcare are often different and focus on the spiritual caregiver and the profession: professionalization, identity, spirituality and ethics. But also on the patients: recovery, spirituality, moral injury and language. The Center is open to master’s theses, PhD research or postdoc projects.
