NUR 513 Topic 3 DQ 2 How will your worldview and cultural and spiritual competence affect your future practice and role?
The increasing diversity, including religious diversity and worldviews among patients and healthcare providers like nurses, creates challenges for nurses to offer culturally sensitive and competent care. A nurse’s worldview shapes their approach to patients and care provision, especially integration of culturally competent care (Swihart et al., 2018). My personal worldview is nondenominational or nonreligious. While I was raised a Catholic by my Haitian parents, I do not identify with this religious affiliation anymore. However, I believe in God but does not connect to any form of organized religion. Imperatively, I believe that spiritual care is essential and patients must be allowed to express their religious affiliations so as to attain holistic care.

My worldview connects to the need for cultural and spiritual competence as they are important in delivery of holistic care to patients. The existing diversity means that patients should attain care that corresponds to their values, preferences, and beliefs. Nurses should integrate their personal worldviews to help them understand the need for cultural competent care for patients in different care situations (Wilson et al., 2018). My worldview, cultural and spiritual competence affects my role and scope of practice as an advanced registered nurse since it implores me to understand the different patient needs through a comprehensive spiritual assessment. The assessment implies that I must develop care plans that incorporate different aspects of a patient’s worldview, from their religious beliefs and norms to cultural values and use of alternative medicines and other activities related to care provision.
The provision of safe and quality care to diverse populations can only happen through increased levels of cultural competence. Besides, development of inter-professional relationships requires one to appreciate the diversity in opinions and approaches to care practices among providers for better care provision (Swihart et al., 2018). Worldviews shape one’s attitude and even interactions with significant others close to them in care delivery.
