Zusammenfassung:Hospitalized persons want their spiritual needs addressed and discussed by the healthcare team, but medical providers and nurses lack the necessary training. Patients want chaplaincy care, but very few receive it, and little is known about utilization factors. To identify the population characteristics associated with the utilization of chaplaincy services, hospitalization data from March 2012 to July 2017 were analyzed (N = 15,242 patients). Religiously affiliated individuals and those with the most acute health needs were more likely to receive chaplaincy care and received more total care. Patient-centered healthcare models may need to evaluate strategic integration of spiritual care beyond reactive spiritual care provision.
