4-  The article by the author “The Role of Spirituality in Health Care “informative in its analysis and attention to the spiritual needs of the patient which is often overlooked (Puchalski ,2001). Spirituality in terms of disease and healing is important and can help with coping and recovery when facing a chronic illness, suffering, or a loss. These belief values can vary from person to person however they tend to have an overarching core principle of a spiritual faith-based core belief set. As part of a physical work-up and collection of history and physical data is collected a spiritual history is also taken and incorporated into the healthcare treatment model in this way the healthcare professionals are providing a holistic all-encompassing care of the patient also addressing the spiritual needs of the patient (Puchalski ,2001).

5- I found the published article by Puchalski (2001), to be very interesting as it demonstrated numerous examples of research based on the use of spirituality in the healthcare setting. In an example developed by Dr. Puchalski and a group of physicians with the intent of helping healthcare professionals better encounter and address spirituality with their patients and how it can positively can impact the patients’ health and the overall success of the treatment being rendered by the healthcare team.  As part of a physical work-up and collection of history and physical data is collected a spiritual history is also taken and incorporated into the healthcare treatment model in this way the healthcare professionals are providing a holistic all-encompassing care of the patient also addressing the spiritual needs of the patient (Puchalski ,2001).

6-The aspects of the topic readings that I found most interesting were the  “polarity between the older and newer nursing theories.” The older nursing process theories are associated with taxonomies and quantitative measures, whereas the new holistic theories use more qualitative measures and softer phenomena. The revolution in the approach of how we think about nursing and nursing interventions in association to ethical decision making. With the belief that nursing is both a science and an art, the new theories expand upon this concept. The other aspect that is interesting to me is using world views to challenge contemporary ethos by using philosophical clarity and religious sensitivity.

After reading about the analysis of disease and healing I would agree that the involvement of spirituality helps enhance recovery and facilitate healing in our patients. I found the required article to read, “The Role of Spirituality in Health Care” very interesting and informative. Patients who are ill and suffering can use their spirituality to recover and heal. It was so interesting to read that patients who were spiritual and had certain beliefs lived longer and recovered faster than non spiritual patients. I think that spirituality lets us and our patients worry less and let go or live in the present moment.
