...Diversity of Faith Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V Spirituality in Health Care Working in the area of health care, it is safe to say that this field of study is dynamic. With constant changes in the medical field, health care professionals cannot assume that everyone is the same. The world is filled with billions of people from different ethnicities, religions and beliefs. Working with such a diverse group of people can be rewarding and yet challenging. Health care providers should always acknowledge that there is a great responsibility when dealing with the public. We are responsible for providing optimal health care regardless of an individual’s religious beliefs and practices, and also we are required to maximize the effectiveness of the care provided. An individual’s religious beliefs and practices should be respected and accepted. Although there are different religions that have parallel perspectives, they also have contrasting perspectives that can affect the way care is provided. Today, the religions of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Muslim will be discussed and compared to the beliefs and practices of Christianity. The Buddhist religion is a religion that focuses on the ethical and spiritual well-being of individuals and in turn helps the individual develop wisdom and compassion for all mankind. Buddhist believes in taking a holistic approach when facing health and disease. This practice includes the principles of practice, meditation, technique, and...

Imagine awaiting one's little miracles, and having to experience the complications of a premature birth. A staggering 15 million babies are born premature each year around the world.

...Florence Nightingale was a legend in her lifetime and was one of the greatest pioneer's in nursing. She lived ninety years and accomplished many great things for the field of nursing. Her descriptions of nursing, health, environment, and humankind are remarkable and still true to this day. Nightingale reformed nursing and changed the way nursing was viewed. Some of the issues during Nightingale's time, the 1800's, we still face today. Nightingale not only impacted nursing in the 1800's, but also still has an effect on nursing today. We do not need a new role model and icon for nursing because Nightingale changed the nursing profession for the better and that should never be forgotten. Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, Italy; thereby being named after the city where she was born. Her family was from England, and lived during the Victorian era. While touring Europe on their two-year long honeymoon, Nightingale was born. Her parents William Edward Nightingale and Frances Smith Nightingale were a very wealthy couple. Nightingale had a sister named Parthenope who was about a year older (Davis, 1999). William Nightingale was well educated, at Cambridge University in England and he taught his daughters at home. William Nightingale taught his daughters to speak Italian, Latin, and, Greek. He also taught them history, philosophy, and math; math was one of Florence's favorite subjects to study (Audian, 1999).

...Healthcare Settings Define culture It is very difficult to define culture from just one perspective. Culture can never be generalized and categorized into specific groups and subgroups (Bryan, 2014). We can’t say there is one African American culture, or “the Asian American culture”. We have to be careful when categorizing a group of people as being this way or that way due to their culture as that would be stereotyping (Bonder, Martin, Miracle, (2001). However, each group has some general cultural similarities and practices that are common amongst themselves (Bryan, (2014). Definitions of culture therefore depend on the views of the definer (Bryan, 2014). Some say culture is a “common view” of a people and a way of life by others (Campinha-Bacote, (2003). Others claim culture is a “common experience” that shapes similar attitudes, behaviors, and values (AIR, (2002). These values and attitudes are reinforced over time and carried forward from one...

...K101 Foundation course to health & Social care. I have decided to study the K101 course because I want to develop my understanding of health and social care in order to better my understanding of the elements of occupational therapy; ultimately with a view to applying for a course in the subject at University. By completing this foundation course I am hoping to achieve the credits that are required to secure a place at university. I want to learn in depth the care we can receive within the United Kingdom and how it impacts the individuals and their families. I’m very interested in care homes and measuring the amount of time the nurses and carers can spend with each resident, also how this could affect other health issues and social situations. I am also interested in whether diabetes patients would benefit from more independent care or more help and support at home or with their GP’s. I eventually would like to figure out why some people choose to work in care but don’t actually want to help people. I feel it is an occupation where it needs passion and compassion. However the National Health Service in the UK also works miracles and saves millions of lives per year. The great work that they do has inspired me to work alongside them, with the hope that I can contribute to the constant improvements within the National Health Service. I would like to utilise my skills that I will gain to produce new ideas on how the care system can be improved. I...

...Literature Review: Does Effective Pain Management Improve the Overall Quality of Life? What is pain? Generally, it is an unpleasant sensory feeling that is triggered by the body's nervous system in response to an adverse affect and is often categorized as acute or chronic. Because of the many different aspects of pain, it varies from each individual. Experiences that may cause pain in one individual may or may not cause pain at the same level which makes this a highly subjective symptom. Previously, medical professionals relied solely on their patients report of pain. However, as time and medicine have evolved, pain has been incorporated into general patient assessments and has further been referred to as the fifth vital sign, revealing its objective qualities as well. Nurses are being trained to assess pain along with the standard vital signs so that appropriate pain management interventions may be implemented when necessary (McCaffery, Pasero, & Wells, 2008). Pain management has evolved and continues to evolve through the many advancements of medicine. The management of pain is critical to the overall well being of patients. The research that has been performed based on the article, "Pain Management: A Human Right" (Brennan, Carr, & Cousins, 2007), reveals that lack of effective pain management can lead to many adverse conditions such as increased heart rate, systemic vascular resistance, and circulating catecholamines, which place the patient at risk for myocardial...

...Abstract America is a multi-cultural nation, and it is becoming even more diverse by the day. Every culture is different from another in some way, shape, or form. It is extremely crucial to be aware of these cultural differences. If one fails to educate themselves in this area, they are setting themselves up for failure. Without a general knowledge of various cultures, one may not be able to effectively communicate with other individuals. This presents a major problem for all individuals lacking this knowledge, especially healthcare providers. As a healthcare provider, one must be able to effectively communicate and care for all individuals. The general public is a very diverse group, and one must be prepared. Appropriate Healthcare for Japanese Patients As a healthcare provider, one must be culturally competent. Being a culturally competent healthcare provider entails being aware of various cultural customs and beliefs. This is an extremely important matter that should not be taken lightly. Everyone deserves respect. Being a culturally competent healthcare provider is one way to show great respect to all patients. Various cultures have contrary beliefs concerning healthcare and personal interaction. The Japanese are a very interesting culture. Most Japanese individuals consider it impolite to make prolonged eye contact (Purnell, & Paulanka, 2008). This is a very important thing to know when caring for a Japanese patient. One does not want to come off...
