About this title

Synopsis

Sikh patients need chaplaincy support which is specific to their religious beliefs and cultural traditions. Dr Satwant Kaur Rait, an experienced hospital honorary chaplain, has produced an in-depth guide to the service. The book will be invaluable to chaplains, volunteers and all those involved with providing religious help for Sikhs in hospitals and hospices. Extensive background material covers Sikh history and values; ceremonies and rituals; philosophy and psychology. An overview of the development of Sikh chaplaincy and official guidelines provide further insight into the need for these services. Dr Rait demonstrates that a generic form of chaplaincy is not sufficient. The role of a healthcare chaplain; Sikh religious care and rituals; end of life care and bereavement are discussed in detail. A consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic is also highlighted. As volunteer chaplains have been unable to work, many Sikh patients have been deprived of religious and spiritual support in hospital. Dr Rait's informative guide clearly shows the importance of establishing greater inclusivity and accessibility in chaplaincy services for all faiths.
