Study Notes

Spirituality and Health in Nursing

Illness and injury can lead to spiritual challenges and transformation, causing patients to reconsider beliefs and feel anger towards self, others, or a higher power.
Patients facing terminal illness and nurses providing palliative and hospice care often reflect on the meaning of life and what comes after life.
Suffering, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual distress, is a common experience for many.
Developing and maintaining spirituality is a lifelong process involving practices such as reflective journaling, meditation, and mindfulness.
Spiritual well-being has been linked to decreased anxiety, depression, loneliness, and addictive behavior, as well as enhanced coping, resilience, compassion, and longevity.
Facilitating spiritual well-being involves caring for one's own spirit and that of clients and their families, moving them toward healing and away from suffering.
Support for spirituality is often underemphasized during life, and spiritual distress related to unmet spiritual needs is a common nursing diagnosis.
Respecting the diversity of patients and their spiritual needs is crucial for effective care.
The individual's worldview and personal definition of spirituality significantly inform their nursing practice.
New nursing graduates often encounter diverse patients with varying spiritual needs in their clinical placements.
Psychosocial bereavement counselors and religious/cultural affiliations in long-term care homes are important considerations in providing holistic care.
Understanding cultural diversity and health care systems is crucial for providing effective care, especially in the context of the international nursing shortage.

Marginalized Populations, Health Inequities, and Intersectionality in Nursing

Marginalized populations are those excluded from mainstream societal aspects, and are best understood in relation to social determinants of health (SDOH).
High priority populations are those exposed to the most risk due to structural barriers of social exclusion, poor access, or dependency on others.
Health inequities are differences in health that are unfair and created by social conditions, reflecting the unfair distribution of SDOH.
Health disparities are differences in health status linked with social, economic, and environmental disadvantage, adversely affecting certain groups.
Intersectionality is a theoretical perspective regarding the influence of different social characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, gender, class, and socioeconomic status, on health outcomes.
Kimberlé Crenshaw, a civil rights advocate, discusses the urgency of intersectionality in a TED talk, emphasizing its importance in examining issues of justice and equity for marginalized populations.
Looking upstream involves examining the root causes of vulnerability that produce poor health and affect health outcomes, rather than targeting perceived vulnerable populations or individuals.
The concepts of health promotion, a socioenvironmental approach/SDOH, and intersectionality are important to understand in relation to one another versus in isolation.
Sexuality encompasses sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual health, characterized by a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships.
Gender identity is a person's internal and individual experience of gender, ranging from being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum.
Sexual orientation refers to the direction of one's sexual interest or attraction, covering the range of human sexuality from lesbian and gay to bisexual and straight.
Understanding how sex, gender, and sexual orientation influence worldviews, unconscious biases, and social constructs is important for nurses in providing care and support to marginalized populations.
