- Abstract
- This dissertation proposes a pastoral care ministry in a medical setting for couples dealing with cervical cancer. To support the goal of each couple developing a new functional homeostasis in their marital and family relationships, the model of ministry included: MD's psychosocial screening; brief pastoral contacts introducing the ministry; a psychosocial/spiritual 'holding environment' to process major fears/concerns about body image, sexual function/roles; and, emphasis on community support. Although the efficacy of the pastoral care interventions is perhaps best judged in the context of each couple's relationship, data from pre-counseling and evaluation questionnaires was analyzed. All five males and six females indicated on follow-up questionnaires that sharing their emotions during the treatment of cervical cancer with a counselor was 'very important' or 'moderately important.' Four males/three females validated that church/church community had been an 'invaluable' or 'large source of support'.
