Personal Inventory and Worldview Analysis
A Christian View of Spirituality and Ethics in Contrast to a Postmodern Relativist View of Health Care
Christianity presupposes the existence of . Christians regard God as the father of all, the son, and the Holy Spirit. God is also a supernatural being who has complete control over all that occurs on earth. Additionally, they believe that God exists in various forms. He is referred to as omnipresent, omnipotent, and transcendent.
These descriptions imply that human beings are incapable of comprehending God’s existence. Additionally, Christians believe that God created human beings.
Despite this belief, Christians believe that science is critical for human health and well-being (Choi, 2016). They believe science is critical in assisting people in comprehending reality. Additionally, they regard it as a source of knowledge that can be used to gain a better understanding of God’s creations. In terms of health, Christians believe that God heals people of physical ailments. However, this is made possible through the application of both faith and science (Kyle, 2015). As a result, health and religion are inextricably linked.
Relativism in the postmodern era casts doubt on the existence of reality. According to it, humans exist in uncertain environments. Everything that occurs in the universe is in a constant state of flux in this regard. As a result, the values, beliefs, practices, and traditions that humans regard as determinants of their well-being evolve over time. Post-modern relatives’ assumptions imply that the truth about something is contingent on one’s subjective or objective assessment of the circumstances surrounding it. As a result, what one person considers to be morally and ethically correct may not be the same for another (Kyle, 2015). As a result, nursing practice should be centered on incorporating an individual’s or patient’s worldview into the plan of care.

Topic 1 DQ 1
What would spirituality be according to your own worldview? How do you believe that your conception of spirituality would influence the way in which you care for patients?
Replies to Alexander Sodipe
According to Bogue & Hogan (2010), spirituality is experienced in and through relationships with sacred or higher power, family, individuals, connectedness with nature, which permeates life, providing purpose, meaning strength, and guidance expressed through individual’s values, beliefs, practices, and traditions. My original introduction to spiritualism began at a young age when my parents introduced me to religion and God through the Catholic Church. However, as I was exposed to other beliefs, spiritual experiences, and religions throughout the years, I have incorporated other religious aspects into my spirituality and no longer express myself through a specific faith but through a general overall spiritual belief in a higher power. For example, I have learned to treat others as I wish to be treated, that humans have a strong bond to nature, and that we are somehow all connected. In addition, I believe in the concept of karma and reincarnation (past lives), that souls travel together for love, support, and to help each other grow and learn. Although Catholicism is no longer the primary religion in my life, it is still part of my foundation and helps shape my faith.
My conception of faith and spirituality helps me find calm and serenity in times of stress, which helps me pass that energy on to my patients. In addition, my spirituality helps me provide spiritual care for patients by offering compassion, helping my patients find meaning and purpose in their illness, and incorporating their expression of religious or spiritual beliefs and practice in their care.
