基督教社會福利機構之社會工作者靈性服務初探

靈性的議題在許多領域中已受到重視，雖然目前台灣社會工作領域的探討較少，但也逐漸開始關注靈性對社會工作專業的影響，以及探討結合靈性層面的需求有何重要性。本研究以基督教社會福利機構為對象，訪談7位社會工作者，並以主題分析呈現四項研究結果，包含社會工作者對於提供靈性服務的看法、做法、期待、成效，以及提供靈性服務時所面臨的限制，並探討對社會工作實務而言，結合靈性服務的重要性。最後，為了增加靈性議題的曝光度，建議社會工作者可以嘗試在服務過程中給予靈性命名，使靈性可以有更多被討論的機會。此外，亦可以針對服務使用者進行更深入的探討與研究，讓靈性服務可以在社會工作中，找到更合適的位置，同時也讓社會工作者有能力因應服務使用者的靈性需求，使得服務的提供可以因此而更加的全面與完善。

The issue of spirituality has earned widespread respect in recent years. Though the social works in Taiwan are not often discussed, more and more people are dedicated to how spirituality influences social work nowadays. In addition, the importance of spiritual deserves much attention. Our study is to interview seven social works on the Christian social welfare organization and analyze four thematic analyses. To start with, some viewpoints, methods, expectations, and outcomes are summarized from workers providing spiritual service with practical experience. Next, some restrictions should be noticeable when providing spiritual service. Besides, we discuss the significance of spiritual service in terms of practical social work. Finally, in order to make people pay more attention to the issue of spirituality, these piratical workers should try to name spirituality requirements during the process of services. Moreover, feedback experience from service users should be worthy of further researches. By this proposed study, we expect that spiritual service could obtain the appropriate position in social works and let practical works have ability to satisfy user requirements of spirituality. Consequently, spiritual service will be better and maturer.
