Its methodology consisted of an outcome study, as proposed by Finkler (1985), aimed at a rural community, in the Lagoa Bonita district, in Engenheiro Coelho, Brazil, where most of the residents profess Seventh-Day Adventistism. The data were collected by means of semistructured interviews with twenty-two participants. The sample was formed either with respondents (90% of whom were Adventists) who underwent the ritual of anointing (referred to as “subjects”) or, in case they were not available, with respondents who met the two ad hoc criteria for inclusion (referred to as “informants”): (1) close kinship; and (2) being present during the ministration of the rite. At least 14 (i.e., 63%) of the subjects could be described as being in severe or terminal condition. For the analysis of the data, Bardin’s content analysis method was used. At the end of the investigation, it was confirmed that the anointing of the sick is sociologically effective and anthropologically justifiable, since it belongs to the dimension of symbolic regulation, which is why spiritual caregivers can minister to patients with chronic pain in aspects often neglected by biomedicine, hence the need for its institutionalization as a possibility of treatment / Esta investigação se propôs a pesquisar qualitativamente o sucesso ou o fracasso da unção de enfermos como meio de alterar estatisticamente a história natural previsível de uma enfermidade. Sua metodologia consistiu de um estudo de resultados (outcome study), conforme proposto por Finkler (1985), voltado para uma comunidade rural, no bairro Lagoa Bonita, município de Engenheiro Coelho, onde os residentes são, em sua maioria, fiéis da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com vinte e dois participantes. Constituiu-se a amostra ou com respondentes (90% dos quais eram adventistas) que se submeteram ao ritual da unção (denominados “sujeitos”) ou, no caso de sua impossibilidade, com respondentes que satisfizessem os dois critérios ad hoc de inclusão (denominados “informantes”): (1) parentesco próximo; e (2) presença durante a ministração do rito. Pelo menos 14 (isto é, 63%) dos sujeitos podiam ser descritos como em estado grave ou terminal. Para a análise dos dados, empregouse o método da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Confirmou-se, no final da investigação, a tese que o rito da unção é sociologicamente eficaz e antropologicamente justificável, pois pertence à dimensão da regulação simbólica, razão pela qual os cuidadores espirituais conseguem ministrar aos pacientes com dor crônica em aspectos geralmente negligenciados pela biomedicina, daí a necessidade de sua institucionalização como possibilidade de tratamento

With the form on ,,Krankensegnung [mit -salbung]'" (blessing the sick [including anointment]) in the book of liturgy on ,,Dienst an Kranken" (ministering to the sick), the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony has put the anointing of the sick back into tocus while still stating some "unfamiliarity" with this topic. Is the anointing of the sick therefore rather a biblical possibility than a practised reality? The ''practised reality" is examined qualitatively using expert interviews with six theoretically sampled ministers of the Church of Saxony. The results obtained show a wide range of practice. They are subsequently compared with theoretical results (history and fundamentals from systematic theology) under the primacy of James 5:14-15. The interpretation shO\vs the observed practice partially corresponding to James 5. From this, conclusions for practice are drawn followed by an evaluation of the survey / Das Thema ,Krankensalbung" wird in der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche durch das Formular Krankensegnung [mit -salbung] in der Agende .. Dienst an Kranken'' liturgisch neu ins Blickfeld geri.ickt, zugleich aber eine gewisse .. Fremdheit'' beztiglich des Themas konstatiert. Deshalb ergibt sich die Frage, ob Krankensalbung eher eine biblische Moglichkeit als eine gelebte Wirklichkeit ist. Die ,gelebte Wirklichkeit" wird mit Hilfe eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns untersucht. Dabei wird die Praxis der Krankensalbung durch Experteninterviews mit sechs bewusst ausgewahlten Ptarrern der sachsischen Landeskirche erhoben. Die Darstellung der hierbei gewonnenen Ergebnisse Hisst ein breites Praxisspektrum erkennen. In einem weiteren Schritt folgt die Interpretation der Resultate. Der lnterpretationsrahmen besteht aus den Ergebnissen der Theorie (Geschichte und systematisch-theologischen Grundlagen) unter dem Vorrang von Jak 5,14-15. Die Interpretation zeigt, dass die vorgefundene Praxis teilweise Jak 5 entspricht. lnfolgedessen werden Schlussfolgerungen als Hilfen fur die Praxis gezogen. Den Abschluss bildet die Evaluation der Untersuchung. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)
