“…Even those who are active, participating, observant Christians are not in agreement about the place of Christian symbols and practices in the public sphere. Christianity is richly textured in Canada and includes a wide range of approaches to the public presence of the Christian message, symbols, and practices (Bramadat and Seljak 2008;Reimer-Kirkham 2019;Young and Shipley 2020).…”

This article reflects on the question of how culture and religion enter legal cases and public debates about the place of majoritarian religious symbols in diverse societies that have some democratic will to inclusion. In the context of the new diversity, the article considers how the articulation of “our culture and heritage” as a strategy for preserving “formerly” religious symbols and practices in public spaces excludes particular groups from the narrative of who “we” are as a nation. The reader is invited to consider how challenges to such symbols and practices might be articulated as a challenge to privilege and power and that a refusal to acknowledge those power relations puts the reputation of democracy and human rights at risk.

“…Any interference, restriction or forced elimination of a patient's religious experience must therefore have a negative impact on the patient's personal condition. Religiousness is another means of discovering man's purposes (Cullen, 2016; Reimer‐Kirkham, 2019).…”

Four philosophical images of man and nursing from Krąpiec’s perspective

Nursing Philosophy

Philosophy presents many different theories on man. While some complement one another, others contradict. Some theories underscore the exceptional or unique character of the human condition, whereas other theories emphasize its ordinary character. According to Krąpiec, the knowledge on man provided by philosophical anthropology has been repressed to the margins of science and replaced by scientific knowledge (Krąpiec, 2005, p. 21). Contemporary medicine, together with other detailed sciences (e.g. psychology, pedagogy and genetics), has assumed the right to comprehensive knowledge on man and to speak about man not only in matters concerning human functioning but also on the purpose and value of man's life or his being, depriving philosophy of this role. This has led to many misunderstandings and a deformation of the overall image of man (Krąpiec, 2005, p. 24).Two opinions may be found on the link between nursing and philosophy. Some argue that nursing and philosophy cannot be combined, since nursing is focused on doing while philosophy concentrates on thinking. Others suggest that there are some philosophical ideas underlying nursing, which are related to metaphysical, anthropological, epistemological and ethical assumptions (Watson, 2018, pp. 9-16). It should be stressed that nursing, like many other scientific disciplines, has its roots in philosophy (Krąpiec, 2005, pp. 22-23). Therefore, nursing must not renounce philosophy. There are certain links between nursing and philosophy. First of all, nurses, whether they want to or not, are always involved in some kind of philosophy that they either use or create themselves. A nurse is 'condemned' to 'be married' to philosophy. Secondly, it is extremely important that the nurse knows the philosophy she is associated with and wants to use. In the same way that not every marriage can be considered successful, not every 'relationship' with philosophy

“…In this framework, the literature reveals that nurses have examined different spiritual perspectives. Stephenson and Hebeshy [ 11 ] pointed out that spiritual care should be incorporated into care plans and that nurses need updated knowledge and training on different forms of spirituality [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Other research found that the effectiveness of nursing care depended on nurses’ awareness of and sensitivity to the spiritual needs of their patients [ 15 ].…”

“…Worldwide, there is a concerted effort for spiritual assistance and spiritual support to be an integral part of the role of the nurse [ 19 , 20 ]. In clinical nursing practice, it is frequently unclear how to engage patients in spiritual care, especially in complex health systems and societies characterized by secularism and religious pluralism [ 12 , 14 , 21 ]. Although the role of spiritual care in palliative care and oncology is well recognized, less is known about its role in other areas of nursing, where spirituality and spiritual care are often neglected or absent [ 5 ].…”

Spirituality is a common theme in the field of healthcare research. This study aimed to examine nurses’ perceptions of spirituality in the context of the religious diversity of patients in pluri-religious settings. We performed a scoping review following the methodology on studies conducted between 2010 and 2020. We searched the following databases: CINAHL Plus, PubMed, and PsycINFO. For the identification of grey literature, the OpenGrey database was used. In total, 789 articles were reviewed. Of these, 16 met predetermined inclusion criteria. Two main overarching themes emerged from our inductive analysis: (a) the intertwining of spirituality and spiritual care in diverse religious landscapes and (b) obstacles impeding the inclusion of spiritual care in pluri-religious settings. According to our results, nurses consider that spirituality is interconnected with spiritual care for individuals from different religious backgrounds. Interpretations of spirituality in nursing practice vary widely, with spirituality and religiosity often shaped and influenced by culture and the experience of the professionals. Nurses attribute various meanings to spiritual care, most of which center on respecting personal, interpersonal, and relational aspects of religious and cultural beliefs and practices. Lack of education and specific skills, insufficient time, role ambiguity, and different religious beliefs were identified as hurdles to spiritual care. A poor work environment, a lack of patient privacy, including personal space, and a lack of compassion were also reported as deterrents to spiritual healing. More knowledge and training on different religions and spirituality are required to meet patients’ spiritual needs to better overcome these hurdles.
