  8. The European Network of Healthcare Chaplaincy Statement: Healthcare Chaplaincy in the Midst of Transition Although it is not straightforward to evaluate spiritual care practice it is important to conduct research in order to improve the quality of care. Sharing research findings will also inform healthcare providers and faith communities of the role and importance of chaplaincy and thus promote chaplaincy services. (Salzburg Statement, 2014; www.enhcc.eu)
