Description
Niecky Fruneaux-van Amerongen and co-authors evaluate a program that trains nursing home teams to weave spiritual care into daily work. Their 2025 study starts from the move itself: entering a home shakes a resident's sense of meaning, and daily staff meet those questions first. A Dutch guideline exists, yet many staff feel unsure in this area.
The program mixed group training, one-on-one coaching on the job, and team reflection meetings. The team measured how staff rated their own spiritual skills before and after, read the questions they brought to coaching, and watched how the skills showed up in daily practice. The design mixed surveys with close reading of the coaching record.
