Faith community nursing is a nursing practice specialty that
focuses on the intentional care of the spirit, the promotion of an
integrative model of health, and the prevention and minimization of
illness within the context of a faith community. Such practitioners
consider the spiritual, physical, psychological, and social aspects
of an individual to create a sense of harmony with self, others,
the environment, and a higher power. Consequently, healing is the
process of integrating the individual's body, mind, and spirit to
create wholeness, health, and a sense of well-being for that
person. This book addresses the essential aspects of such practice.
It completely updates the 2012 edition, reflecting the complex
requirements and changes that underlay faith community nursing,
health care, and the nursing profession as well as their enduring
components and qualities. Continuing and building on more than a
decade of collaboration, Health Ministries Association, Inc. and
American Nurses Association have again published an authoritative,
concise, and practical resource. To do so, the two groups convened
a team of twenty-one practicing faith community nurses to develop
the text with input from other nurses in three rounds of review.
The result: the most current and comprehensive delineation of the
competent level of nursing practice and professional performance
that is common to and expected from all faith community nurses. The
book's single scope of practice builds on what is expected of all
registered nurses, specifying the who, what, where, when, why, and
how of faith community nursing practice. Each standard is
measurable by a set of specific competencies that serve as evidence
of minimal compliance with that standard. The standards themselves
- six standards of practice and ten standards of professional
performance - are those by which all RNs in faith community nursing
are held accountable for their practice. The book's discussion of
the scope of faith community nursing practice lends a comprehensive
context for understanding and using the standards, addressing its
practice priorities and characteristics, practice environments and
settings, education and training requirements, key issues and
trends, and ethical and conceptual bases. While primarily for faith
community nurses and the nursing profession, it is also aimed at
other healthcare providers; spiritual leaders, families, and
members of faith communities; and employers, insurers,
policymakers, and regulators.
