Abstract

The project consists of four audio video tapes which were produced at Sioux Valley Hospital in cooperation with Owl T.V. of Sioux Falls Schools. The tapes focus on critical areas of pastoral care within the hospital: The Initial Call, The Presurgical Call, The Spiritual Needs of Patients, Family Members and Imminent Crises. The tapes will be used for the orientation of pastors who volunteer to serve as night chaplains. The pastors who volunteer are ordained by their respective denominations, but few of them have been clinically trained as chaplains. The video tapes have been produced to help introduce the volunteer chaplains to the environment of the hospital in which they will be doing pastoral care. The tapes endeavor to provide some of the pastoral skills which pastors may be lacking. The tapes teach sound pastoral theology and provide models of pastoral care which the volunteer pastors can discuss and evaluate. The didactic material raises the issues faced by the patient. It then seeks to address these issues through actual models of pastoral care. Interviews with hospital patients show what happens when the chaplain is present.
