This article presents the findings of quantitative and qualitative research involving over 300 Australian health care chaplains concerning their involvement in patient and staff issues with regard to euthanasia. Approximately one quarter of chaplains (26.3%) indicated having been involved in patient / family euthanasia issues and one fifth of chaplains were involved in staff euthanasia issues. Forty-three (n = 43) chaplains consented to in-depth interviews about the nature of their involvement in euthanasia issues. It is noted that the important knowledge and tacit experience of those trained and practicing in pastoral care should be included when considering euthanasia issues and decisions.

The aim of this research was to describe the evidence examining the approaches taken by mental health providers (MHPs) and chaplains to address symptoms related to moral injury (MI) or exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs). This research also considers the implications for a holistic approach to address symptoms related to MI that combines mental health and chaplaincy work. A scoping review of literature was conducted using Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Central Register of Controlled Trials, Proquest, Philosphers Index, CINAHL, SocINDEX, Academic Search Complete, Web of Science and Scopus databases using search terms related to MI and chaplaincy approaches or psychological approaches to MI. The search identified 35 eligible studies: 26 quantitative studies and nine qualitative studies. Most quantitative studies (n = 33) were conducted in military samples. The studies examined interventions delivered by chaplains (n = 5), MHPs (n = 23) and combined approaches (n = 7)....

The acknowledgement of 'moral injury' is fundamentally a contemporary recognition that trauma (in its various forms) can cause much deeper inflictions and afflictions than just physiological or psychological harm, for there may also be moral wounds affecting the 'soul' that are far ...

<b>Purpose: </b>The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the literature regarding holistic care in rehabilitation case management settings. <b>Method: </b>From the 273 articles identified, a total of 17 articles were found to be applicable to the research topic: rehabilitation counselling and holistic care. <b>Results: </b>Following the analysis of articles, five recurrent themes were identified: (1) spirituality/spiritual beliefs, (2) disability, (3) religion/religious views, (4) employment/vocation, (5) holism and (6) culture/ cultural competency. <b>Conclusion: </b>Engaging a holistic approach in rehabilitation case management setting was found to be a valuable skill for the practitioner to assist clients. To be a holistic practitioner the counsellor must consider all the bio-psycho-social and spiritual challenges a client may be facing in order to best provide services that align with clients and their needs.<b></b>

WHO-ICD-10-AM Spiritual-Care Intervention Codings (abbev.: 'WHO-SPICs'): This summary table collated by Carey & Gleeson (2017) provides the accurate coding details for Health Information Managers and/or health care professionals to code the spiritual, religious and pastoral care interventions undertaken by medical, nursing and allied health professionals (including chaplains). There are four specific interventions (spiritual assessment, spiritual support, spiritual care and counselling plus spiritual ritual and worship) plus one generic intervention (allied health spiritual care) to be used for unspecified spiritual care interventions. The correct codings for each intervention and the primary citations/references for the Summary Table are provided. Previously known as the "Pastoral Intervention Codings" (refer Carey & Cohen, 2015), the revised 'WHO- SPICs' can be used for both clinical and research purposes https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265599181...

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This review aims to explore the benefits and barriers of the commercialisation of camels (camelus dromedaries). Included is a discussion section exploring the impacts that commercialisation might have on local communities, including Aboriginal and pastoralist communities. While this report may offer a base framework, further study is necessary to explore topics and considerations in more detail. Method: The authors utilised online databases, hand-searched grey literature, and anecdotal information via a field trip to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. These resources were subsequently screened for suitability. Thematic analysis was conducted on the literature. Results: Seven key themes were identified in the literature; (i) camel farming, (ii) barriers, (iii) socioeconomic benefits, (iv) rural and remote Australian communities, (v) Indigenous Australians, (vi) camel culling, and (vii) camel by-products. Discussion: Current management methods consist primarily of culli...

In the United States, rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI), such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and human papilloma virus (HPV), in the adolescent population are concerning. Increased primary and secondary prevention, in addition to improving screening techniques, are important in this age group and may decrease the incidence of STIs in this population. As a result of cultural and economic barriers, and social stigmas, many adolescents do not receive the preventative care and education they need. Although improvement has been noted in certain indicators, compared with other age groups, adolescent health has failed to respond to the range of interventions developed for schools, communities, and the health system. Therefore, the objective of this literature review is to examine two questions. First, what are the barriers to screening and prevention of STIs in adolescents in the United States? Second, what techniques are currently employed to assist providers in overcoming the barr...
