Employment Status of Hospital Chaplains After a Well-Being Workshop Intervention: A Matched Case-Control Study

Abstract

This matched case-control study compares long-term employment status of chaplains at a healthcare system headquartered in Florida based on participation and non-participation in a well-being workshop. A Kaplan-Meier curve illustrated separation rates between those who participated in the workshops and matched controls who did not in the 30 months during and after the intervention. This paper provides evidence for return on investment for initiatives to support chaplain well-being by avoidance of turnover costs.
