Initial Post 1. Why do some religions adopt elements of other religious traditions? What implications does this have for the adopting religion and for the religion from which traditions are being adopted? What makes a religion or religious tradition valid? There are many religions that do this it is called religious Syncretism, they do this because this can help the incorporation of some of the beliefs into the religion or the tradition. There are many religions that this occurs in but the one I am going to talk about is the Christianity religion this as happened with the Gnosticism religion and their beliefs of Gnostic dualism posited that only spiritual or invisible things were good, and that material or visible things were evil, or after the death of Jesus the Roman emperors used syncretism to help unite the expanding empire. And they became even more effective when missionaries concurred with established cultural traditions and interlaced them into a fundamentally Christian synthesis. There are many things that the religions could use in theirs if they believe that what is being taught is true. When using syncretism the folk belief may show cultural acceptance of an alien or previous tradition, and the religion must agree. 2. What is distinct about nonreligious spiritualities in terms of individualism vs. a shared worldview? What are the implications of this difference for nursing ethics and practice? When we are talking about the nonreligious spiritualities that is also known as SBNR or spiritual but not religious. These people that are SBNR they use the phrase used to self- identify a life of spirituality that does not regard an organized religion as the sole or most valuable means of furthering spiritual growth. These people can have many effects on nursing when a person as an atheist it can affect the patients by their personal ethics, social reasons, or they could even refuse treatments if they do not think that they will help them or if they don’t want it. 3. What are some clinical implications of patient religious beliefs and practice across religions (Ch. 16)? There are many clinical implications that the patients religious beliefs, the first is the discrepancies of cultural competency, there can be many problems that can occur with the patients occurring maybe distress or them being misunderstood. There should be steps that happen like encouraging the family to participate in healthcare decision making, prevailing cultural awareness training, providing interpreter services if needed, or providing an environment that allows traditional healers to care for the patient. 4. In what ways do nurses’ religions affect their attitudes and their care? Reflect on how your own religious identity might affect your attitudes and care.
With me personally you can be any religion, race, gender, and nothing is going to change with my care, I will treat every person that I come into contact with the same care and love as I would with my own family. There is so much discrimination and hate in today’s world you should be able to come to the hospital and feel safe and know that you are going to receive that the care that you need.
