The term of spirituality and worldview can mean something different for each individual. It is a connection to something that a person views bigger than them and gives a meaning to life. There are several concepts of spirituality that coexist together in a society. These concepts help guide us in our personal and health care professional views/decisions when dealing with society. It is very important for health care professionals to keep an open mind when faced with patients from all walks of faith. Nurses treat patients from a holisticview that involves mental, physical, and spiritual approaches. Patient assessments should include a spirituality assessment. There have been studies done that health care providers who take an interest in this area not only establishes a patient’s trust and betters communication of how the patient wants to be cared for according to their spiritual and worldview beliefs. Incorporating both medicine and spiritual healing can bring conditions where healing can occur for a patient.
