PHI-413 Topic 5 DQ 1 And 2 Sample

Topic 5 DQ 1

            Spirituality in healthcare characterizes the quest for purpose, meaning, and totality of life. Spirituality institutes the fundamental dignity, value, and respect for the religious and spiritual characteristics of an individual. As such, spiritual care can be defined as a component of holistic healing that provides purpose and meaning to the life of an individual. Spiritual care entails conviction in superior powers that initiates optimism, provide solutions, and outshine physical and mindful limits (de Brito Sena, et al., 2021). Providing spiritual care tends to give patients relief, hope, and meaning in their situation through their religious and communal beliefs and practices. Spiritual care plays a significant role in the entire care process of a patient. Therefore, nurses should ensure the provision of spiritual care through the demonstration of empathy, and emotion, and engaging patients in their by integrating their preferences and values in their care process (Timmins & Caldeira, (Eds.), 2019).

            This definition of spiritual care is in accord with the description provided in the topic readings. They both emphasize the essence of delivering a holistic approach to healthcare, which entails caring for the body, mind, and spirit. Holistic care is concerned with addressing the patient in its entirety including spiritual needs to help in improving health and quality of life (Dyrstad et al., 2021). Patients who are given holistic care often have high confidence, modesty, and self-esteem and recover faster than patients whose spiritualties are not addressed. This is because spirituality provides hope, peace of mind, and meaning to their illness to accept or cope with their current situation. Taken together, both my worldview and topic readings are in agreement that spiritual care is concerned with satisfying the spiritual needs of patients in their state of illness and it is essential in physical and emotional healing.

Topic 5 DQ 2

            The current healthcare industry is highly diverse and healthcare providers often interact with various patients from different cultures and religions (Wilbur et al., 2020). People from different religious and cultural backgrounds often have different preferences and values in medical practice and health-related decisions. As a result, ethical challenges often arise in patient care provisions in situations where the healthcare provider and the patient cannot agree on how the care should be provided without offending the patient’s spiritual views. As such nurses should be culturally sensitive and strive to provide culturally competent care to avoid issues associated with cultural differences.

               When it comes to facilitating spiritual care for patients with worldviews different from mine, my strengths include asking the patient to state his spiritual preferences and values to get a common ground with the patient. The other strengths include active listening to fully understand the needs of the patient, and refraining from assumptions by asking for guidance on unclear matters. I also tend to engage patients in constructive discussion to identify their spiritual and cultural preferences of the patient (Sundus et al., 2021). On the other hand, my weaknesses in facilitating spiritual care for patients with different worldviews include exceeding my mandates in spiritual care provision because my organization lacks clear directives for nursing roles in the provision of spiritual care.                 The final say in terms of ethical decision-making and intervention in the event I am in a difficult situation rests on my family members. However, the decisions should be made only after consulting with the healthcare providers on the ideal healthcare options for me (Mackie et al., 2019). Moreover, I may need representation from my church to ensure that my spiritual needs are met. References
