Spiritual And Spiritual Values In Nursing

Identifying personal values, beliefs and concepts ignite the individual to make a well-rounded decision and live an authentic life. As a nurse, I want to promote the best possible care for my patients because I believe in maintaining life balances. Life balances acknowledge the individual’s prioritizes by linking each lifestyles together. In physiological terms, maintaining equilibrium and homeostasis is critical in achieving a state of balanced. Therefore, my values about person, health, nursing, and environment underlies the concept of sustaining life harmony. Educating the patient and the self about healthy work/ life balance through the conceptual framework of the four nursing metaparadigms will help me promote optimal nursing care.

Above all nurses play an important role in the recovery of their patients. The actions and decisions of a nurse are manifestations of the true character that a nurse holds. (Lachman, 2008) Those who become nurses are not only expected to adhere to the norms of the profession but rather to

“The nurse develops enduring traits or dispositions of character that ensure that s/he, as a practitioner, (and as a human being), works from the perspective of habituated good nursing behaviors, and via the help of role modelling and education, develops educated emotion and perception”, (Lack of Care in Nursing: Is character the missing ingredient?”, 2014). Patients hold nurses up to a higher standard which involves their character and nurses feel an obligation to live up to that character. This can put a lot of pressure on an any individual which leads to a significant amount of

The role of a nurse is viewed as stressful, so nurses need to be emotionally ready and be physically fit to participate in delivering care. Acts of kindness, trustworthiness, promoting privacy, ensuring dignity, being engrossed into the artistry of caring and engaging in anti-discriminatory practice (Baughan & Smith 2008) by respecting everyone, irrespective of age, culture, gender, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, religious beliefs and the condition from which they are afflicted, are caring indicators of a nurse.

Everyone’s values and beliefs about the profession of nursing are all different. The four concepts of nursing are interrelated and all mean something different to every person, too. Throughout this paper, I will be reflecting on my values and beliefs about nursing through the four concepts while comparing them to a nursing theorist with views that are most similar to my own.

The personal values that help contribute to my worldview and philosophy of nursing that is most important, is my religion. I am a Christian and this means that I am to be Christ like in my every day life and work. I am taught to treat others as I would want to be treated and care for them as I would do for myself. I am to help the sick, wounded, poor and widowed. Nursing in its roots are very much the same thing. Helping the ones who are unable to help themself. The underlying rule for nurses is to do no harm. My spiritual vales shape who I am, what I am and what I do. If I do all things as if I were doing them to the glory of God, then I know all things would turn out right. When obeying God and his commands,

Professionalism in nursing is a key component to have. The nurse that exhibits professionalism can go far in a career. As nurses identify strengths and weaknesses, careers can change for the better. The strengths that I see in myself are optimism, good listener, and quick learner. When I think about who I am as a nurse, I don’t focus on tasks and to do lists. Although skills are important for patient care, there are psychosocial aspects that should be addressed.

Courage is one of the most important concepts in the nursing profession. Nurses require this concept to not only possess traits of a good human, but to also provide an acceptable level of care to their patients, families and society as a whole (Sadooghiasl, Parvizy, & Ebadi, 2016). Despite its numerous benefits, this concept has received little credit. There is a need to make courage visible to the nursing profession and should be incorporated as part of nurse leaders skills training in nursing schools (Edmonson, 2010). In addition, having a courageous character can boost patients’ confidence and prompt them to be more willing to go for medical check-ups and fight diseases (Seibaek, Delmar & Hounsgaard, 2016). According to the literature review, there are different types of courage, which include physical courage, moral courage, social courage, and physiological courage (Snyder & Lopez, 2009). Of these, moral courage is the most applicable to the nursing profession (Murray, 2010). The literature review further highlighted caring, knowledge and the capacity to overcome fears as some of the major aspects that define courage (Home & Policy, 2010). The desire to possess a courageous character can be provoked by confidence and a sense of duty and can result in boosts of self-esteem and good learning experiences (Snyder & Lopez, 2009). Very few researchers have focused on qualitative methods in the study of the concept of courage in nursing. This is due to the difficulty

For as long as I can remember, I have been overwhelmed with a desire to care for those in need, and I feel this ultimately led me to the career choice of nursing. I chose nursing as my profession because I truly believe that the desire to help people through nursing is a calling, and I feel drawn toward helping those in need. Nursing is an honorable career, and should not be treated as just a job to earn a paycheck. My mission is to proudly provide nonjudgmental care to those in need regardless of race, spiritual beliefs, lifestyle choices, financial status, or disability. Before entering to the profession of nursing, it is important to explore my personal values and principles that will guide my nursing practice. My philosophy is that nurses have a responsibility to the public to provide safe, holistic, patient-centered care. This paper will explore the values I feel are necessary in relating to patients as well as health professionals, my personal work culture, and society as a whole.

Nurses should be compassionate and caring to their patients while being honest and sincere to them, as well as other aspects of their career. Moreover, admirable nurses must be dedicated to their work and have problem solving skills to aid them in critical situations, and nurses must keep proper composure and remain knowledgeable about their patient’s current state. One of the most important qualities, I believe, for nurses to have is to be an advocate for their patients when they need a voice. Finally, a nurse should be a coach and an educator to help their patients become more independent and

What makes an excellent nurse? Does any image come to mind? If so what exactly do you see? Nurses are comprised of Hope, Love, Faith and Peace when put together these contributors can change the lives of patients. In the memoir Touched by a Nurse, powerful stories of people are told. Each story has an element of Hope, Love, Faith and Peace. These contributors show how nurses blend beautifully with the patients they help. Thoughtout the memoir, patients are encountered by nurses which help in various ways, such as emotionally, physically, and mentally. The memoir also points out how each nurse is trying his or her best to try to save or treat their patient.

With my career goal is to become a nurse; just not ole any nurse, a great one. My strengths are very important to have. Faith is needed to help get through tough days and to also spiritually help your patients. I feel like whenever you do a task it should be done with integrity. Being a nurse, you have to be strong-minded and also able to heal and comfort mentally, emotionally, and physically, all great signs of a leader. You always have to remember that you can’t always do everything alone. Teamwork is very important in the healthcare field. Each job is important and is connected to one another. Communication is the key to many careers and very important to nursing because you have to build positive relationships with the people and patients around you.

As a result, the author recognizes that the values involved in her spirituality will influence her actions and guide her decisions such as those regarding nursing care. For example, concepts such as respect, patience, honesty, and unconditional love for the neighbor are present when caring for another human

As nurses, we need to have confidence, good viewpoints, strong beliefs spiritual understandings and moral values in developing a powerful image. “I have always believed you are what you think you are.” (Coelho, n.d). If you’re honest, have self-confidence, reliable, sound principles, and respect; you can acquire the capability to be successful. (Posner, n.d.).

Spirituality is the sense of connection and anything required to establish and maintain a dynamic personal relationship with God. A person should know the creator or the god that has created man on earth. Thus, this essay intends to discuss about spirituality, spiritual overview of nursing and religion. The essay would also describe about the spiritual wellbeing and the theorists together with their contribution to spirituality. People may not think about spirituality and spiritual wellbeing and what role it plays in their life, but its significance is stronger than anyone may believe. Most of all, the essay shall discuss as what is culture and its purpose to life.
