Özet:

 Over the years, the foundation of spiritual counseling has evolved into a professional and systematic field in the United States US, where it was first established. However, in Turkey, spiritual counseling is a newly emerging practice, and thus, a systematic structure has not yet been formed. Consequently, the theory and practice of spiritual counseling in the US hold significance for Turkey. This study aims to explore the perspectives and practices of Healthcare Chaplaincy practitioners in the US, a country with a well-established history of spiritual counseling services, in order to shed light on the field of spiritual counseling in Turkey by drawing from US practices. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing semi-structured interview techniques. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 chaplains from Morristown Medical Center Healthcare Chaplaincy unit between July 20th and 27th, 2018. The content analysis method was employed to elucidate the participants experiences. A semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection tool, encompassing demographic information of the participants and their tenure as chaplains. Subsequently, the interview form addressed the participants views on Healthcare Chaplaincy, their chaplaincy practice experiences, and suggestions of chaplains to spiritual counselors in Turkey. The findings indicate alignment between the participants experiences and existing literature. An important highlight is the clinically oriented spiritual counseling education in the US that could serve as a model for Turkey.

 Manevi danışmanlık uygulamasının temelinin atıldığı Amerika Birleşik Devletlerinde ABD yıllar içerisinde profesyonel ve sistemli bir manevi danışmanlık alanı teşekkül etmiştir. Ancak, Türkiyede manevi danışmanlık yeni gelişen bir uygulama alanı olması nedeniyle henüz sistematik bir yapı oluşmamıştır. Dolayısıyla, ABD manevi danışmanlık teori ve pratiği Türkiye için önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, köklü bir geçmişi olan ABD örneğindeki Healthcare Chaplaincy uygulayıcılarının perspektiflerini ve uygulamalarını incelemek, böylece ABD uygulamalarından faydalanarak Türkiyedeki manevi danışmanlık alanına ışık tutmaktır. Araştırma, nitel bir yaklaşım kullanarak yürütülmüş olup yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniğine dayanmaktadır. 20-27 Temmuz 2018 tarihlerinde Morristown Tıp Merkezi Healthcare Chaplaincy biriminde, 14 chaplain ile derinlemesine görüşme gerçekleştirilmiş ve içerik analizi yöntemi ile katılımcıların deneyimleri görünür kılınmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu uygulanmıştır. Bu görüşme formunda öncelikle katılımcıların demografik bilgileri ve chaplain olarak ne kadar süredir görev yaptığı hakkında bilgi edinilmektedir. Ardından, katılımcıların Healthcare Chaplaincy hakkındaki görüşler, Healthcare Chaplaincydeki uygulama deneyimi ve chaplainlerin Türkiyedeki manevi danışmanlara önerileri olmak üzere üç bölüm yer almaktadır. Elde ettiğimiz bulgular, katılımcıların deneyimlerinin literatür ile örtüştüğünü göstermektedir. Öne çıkan önemli bulgulardan biri, klinik manevi danışmanlık eğitiminin manevi danışmanlık uygulamasında en temel standartlardan biri olduğu gerçeğidir. ABDde uygulanan bu klinik manevi danışmanlık eğitim sisteminin, manevi danışmanlık alanında Türkiyeye örnek olarak alınabilecek dikkate değer model olduğunu belirtmek mümkündür.
