“…Parish nursing has its contemporary origins in the United States beginning in the 1970s with the Reverend Granger Westberg (Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010). The American Nurses Association (ANA) and Health Ministries Association (HMA) currently use the title faith community nursing because this term encompasses all faith traditions (Thompson, 2010). Patterson and Slutz noted that in Christian settings, the term "Parish Nurse" can be more appropriate because it implies this ministry is more than just nursing to a faith community.…”

Faith community/parish nurses provide a variety of services thought to yield positive health outcomes. An integrative literature review was conducted to identify interventions most commonly used by parish nurses in the United States and determine the value of the parish nurse in health promotion and disease prevention. A review of 22 articles published 2008 to 2013 revealed that parish nurses are providing a wealth of interventions to diverse populations but are not successfully evaluating outcomes.

Becoming a Channel of God: How Faith Community Nurses Develop Their Spiritual Practice

2020

Purpose: This study explored the underlying process faith community nurses (FCNs) experience in developing their spiritual nursing practice. Design: A qualitative, exploratory design was used. Method: Data from interviews with six FCNs were generated and analyzed using Glaserian grounded theory. Findings: The basic social psychological process, cultivating the soul to become a channel of God, explains the steps these nurses take to achieve stages of presence. Going through these stages of presence, FCNs develop a foundation of God-related beliefs and values, presence with self, presence with God, presence with others, presence with God and others, and become a channel of God. Conclusions: Developing spiritual care competence in assessing and meeting clients’ spiritual needs is necessary to enhance person-centered practice, a vital aspect of holistic care. The model of presence can inform the development of spiritual care competencies and link to other nursing theories including Watson’s theory of caring and Benner’s novice to expert theory. Workplace support is needed for nurses to refine spiritual nursing care practices and integrate spiritual care into practice. Further research regarding the stages of presence could foster deeper understanding of how foundations of God-related values develop.

“…Known associated health risks with sharing a common cup include the transmission of diseases such as herpes simplex, herpes zoster, diarrhea, cholera, salmonella, shigella, hepatitis A, influenza A and B, viral encephalitis, bacterial meningitis, streptococcus group A, Staphylococcus aureus, and tuberculosis (Janeke & de Bruin, 2005). Thompson (2010) found the most common nursing diagnoses for faith community individuals and aggregates were related to health-seeking behaviors and knowledge deficits. A study done by Allegranzi, Memish, Donaldson, and Pittet (2009) found that religious faith and culture can greatly influence hand hygiene behaviors in healthcare workers.…”
