Spirituality in my worldview has a great connection with faith, and a search for meaning and purpose in life, connection with others and surpassing Oneself. This results in s sense of inner peace and wellbeing. A strong spiritual connection may improve can improve an individual's sense of satisfaction with life or enable accommodation to disability (Delgado 2005)
Phenwan et al. (2019) Spirituality is the essence of a human being The meaning of life, feeling of connectedness to the transcendental phenomena such as the universe or God. This connectedness may or may not be part of any religions. It is also part of comprehensive palliative care, defined by the World Health Organization. An individual's spiritual well-being is a feeling of one's contentment that stems from their inner self and is related to their quality of life
SSorajjakool (2017) Religious beliefs and customs can significantly shape a nurse- patients relationship this can also influence the expectations of the nurse and patient as well as their wishes and personal boundaries regarding daily routines such as dressing, diet, prayer and touch. Undoubtedly, the sensitivity with which clinicians communicate with patients and make decisions regarding appropriate medical intervention can be greatly increased by an understanding of religious as well as other forms of cultural diversity. As a nurse caring for a patient will be deliberate in making effort to understand a patient's religious preferences this way, I will not impose my religious believes on the patient while helping them to access and receive preternatural care as a provide my nursing care this is beacuse different patienst have their spiritual prereferences and health and illness means dieferent things to dieferent people spiritually.

Individuals hold different worldviews about spirituality. The spiritual worldview of an individual depends on various factors, such as family beliefs, origin, and culture.

The document discusses the importance of addressing spirituality in health and illness. It notes that modern medicine has focused more on technology than caring for the whole person, including their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Research shows strong connections between spirituality/religious practices and better health outcomes like coping with illness, recovery from surgery, and immune system functioning. The document advocates taking a spiritual history as part of patient care and addressing spiritual issues compassionately with patients.A Review of The Healing Power of Faith: Science Explores Medicines Last Grea...

This document discusses the relationship between spirituality and health. It defines spirituality and notes that while often associated with religion, personal spirituality can exist outside of religion. Several studies show that spiritual practices and beliefs are associated with improved health outcomes such as faster recovery from surgery, lower blood pressure, and better coping with chronic illnesses. Qualities of faith, hope, forgiveness, love, social support, and prayer are found to positively impact immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems and reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. Certain religious groups also demonstrate healthier lifestyles and longer lifespans. While spirituality may benefit many conditions, it does not guarantee health and inappropriate spiritual guidance could potentially harm patients.Spirituality Concept

It outlines what medical students and physicians are taught about addressing patients' spiritual needs. It also reviews medical literature showing that patients want their spiritual beliefs acknowledged and many find spiritual discussions with physicians strengthen their trust. The chaplain discusses their role in the medical community and offering suggestions for relating to hospital staff while meeting patients' spiritual needs.

The technological advances of the past century tended tochange the focus of medicine from a caring, service-oriented model to a technological, cure-oriented model.
Technology has led to phenomenal advances in medicine and
has given us the ability to prolong life. However, in the past few
decades physicians have attempted to balance their care by re-
claiming medicines more spiritual roots, recognizing that until
modern times spirituality was often linked with health care.
Spiritual or compassionate care involves serving the whole per-
sonthe physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Such service
is inherently a spiritual activity. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, who
has developed Commonweal retreats for people with cancer, de-
scribed it well:
Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of see-
ing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you
see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing
and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of
the soul (1).
Serving patients may involve spending time with them, hold-
ing their hands, and talking about what is important to them.
Patients value these experiences with their physicians. In this
article, I discuss elements of compassionate care, review some
research on the role of spirituality in health care, highlight ad-
vantages of understanding patients spirituality, explain ways to
practice spiritual care, and summarize some national efforts to
incorporate spirituality into medicine.
COMPASSIONATE CARE: HELPING PATIENTS FIND MEANING IN
THEIR SUFFERING AND ADDRESSING THEIR SPIRITUALITY
The word compassion means to suffer with. Compassionate
care calls physicians to walk with people in the midst of their
pain, to be partners with patients rather than experts dictating
information to them.
Victor Frankl, a psychiatrist who wrote of his experiences in
a Nazi concentration camp, wrote: Man is not destroyed by suf-
fering; he is destroyed by suffering without meaning (2). One
of the challenges physicians face is to help people find meaning
and acceptance in the midst of suffering and chronic illness.
Medical ethicists have reminded us that religion and spiritual-
ity form the basis of meaning and purpose for many people (3).
At the same time, while patients struggle with the physical as-
pects of their disease, they have other pain as well: pain related
to mental and spiritual suffering, to an inability to engage the
deepest questions of life. Patients may be asking questions such

Abstract Spiritual or compassionate care involves serving the whole person i.e. physical, emotional, social, spiritual etc dimensions of health. Spirituality has now been identified globally as an important aspect for providing answers to many questions related to health and happiness. The World Health Organization is also looking beyond physical, mental and social dimensions of the health i.e. the spiritual health and its impact on the overall health and happiness of an individual. Spiritual commitment tends to enhance recovery from illness and surgery also. Spiritually is transpired both in order to comfort the dying and to broaden one's own understanding of life at its ending. Spiritual beliefs can help patients cope with disease and face death. So it should be necessarily be add-on in critical stage of disease. Nowadays in some of medical schools in developed countries has included as a curreculam of patient care. Now it is the time that all Medical Colleges should include educating their students about spiritual health care in comprehensive patient care. Medical Council of India should also take some action in this direction.Overcome cancer through spirituality and meditation

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand. Hippocrates
"Youre being religious when you believe in Jesus or Buddha or any other truly holy being, but wow, youre being spiritual when you become the loving compassionate, caring being they all inspire you to be."
by Robert Thurman.
Health care sciences have begun to demonstrate that spirituality, faith, and religious commitment may play a role in promoting health and reducing illness. Nurse clinicians and researchers, as well as others, are becoming more interested in the connection between religious faith and survival. Increasingly, people are beginning to recognize that faith is good medicine. Spirituality is that part of individuals that deals with relationships and values and addresses questions of purpose and meaning in life. Spirituality unites people and is inclusive in nature, not exclusive. It is not loyal to one group, continent, or religion. Although spirituality is not a religion, being involved in a particular religion is a way some people enhance their spirituality. Yet, people can be very spiritual and not religious. Spirituality involves individuals, family, friends, and community. Individual aspects are the development of moral values and beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life and death. The development of spirituality pro- vides a grounding sense of identity and contributes to self-esteem. Spiritual aspects relating to family and friends include the search for meaning through relationships and the feeling of being connected with others and with an external power, often identified as God or a Supreme Being. Community aspects of spirituality can be under- stood as a common humanity and a belief in the fundamental sacredness and unity of all life. It is that which motivates people toward truth and a sense of fairness and justice toward all members of society. Spiritual health is expressed through humor, com- passion, faith, forgiveness, courage, and creativity. Spirituality enables people to develop healthy relationships based on acceptance, respect, and compassion.
Religion can be described in a number of ways. The definition chosen for this text is one developed by Mickley, Carson, and Soeken (1995), three nursing researchers. They believe that religion develops and changes over time and is composed of peoples beliefs, attitudes, and patterns of behavior that relate to the supernatural God, the Divine One, the Great Spirit, Creator, and so forth. Religion usually includes a group of people who hold similar beliefs, have sacred texts, share religious symbols, and participate in shared traditions or rituals. Many people may say they are spiritual but not religious, while most religious people also identify themselves as spiritual (Carson & Koenig, 2008; Young & Koopsen, 2011).

2) It recommends that physicians discuss spiritual issues with patients sensitively and refer patients to spiritual counselors when appropriate, while not imposing their own beliefs or taking on spiritual counseling roles themselves.
3) Addressing patients' spiritual needs can help improve care and reduce suffering without compromising scientific medical practice.Religion and psychopathology

This document discusses the relationship between religion and various psychiatric disorders based on studies. It finds that religion can influence disorders both positively and negatively. Religiosity is generally associated with lower rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, likely due to social support and coping resources. However, religious beliefs can also contribute to guilt, distress, and obsessions in some individuals with conditions like depression and OCD. The direction of causality between religion and mental health is complex and not fully understood.Spirtuality in Palliative Care-Dr MFC Manalo.pdf

1) Participants will review the medical model of mental health and evaluate the Positive Psychology model, as well as consider cultural models of mental health and the impacts of biofeedback research.
2) The DSM editions are discussed in the context of defining mental illness and disorders. Positive Psychology is introduced as the scientific study of strengths and virtues that allow individuals and communities to thrive.
3) Research on positive psychotherapy found it relieved depressive symptoms better than treatment as usual or antidepressant drugs alone. Focusing on building strengths can help suffering people more than focusing solely on treating disorders.The Impact of Spirituality on Counseling

This document summarizes a proposed study on the impact of spirituality on counseling for families experiencing cancer in the Kentucky-Tennessee region. The study would use a mixed methods approach, beginning with a standardized spirituality assessment and then conducting semi-structured interviews to describe participants' perceptions of spirituality in their own words. Previous research has found that spirituality plays an important role in coping and quality of life for cancer patients and their families, but definitions and understandings of spirituality vary widely. The goal of this study is to better understand how spirituality impacts counseling needs for families dealing with cancer in this region. Participants would include cancer patients and their immediate family members from several treatment centers in Kentucky and Tennessee.1- 油I can totally see where there would be tension between.docx

1- 油I can totally see where there would be tension between these two, especially in todays world. 油I am no expert on religion or science for that matter, but I do feel like some of the tension is unnecessary. 油I feel that the two can work to benefit our patients by balancing them with the needs of the patient. 油Lets take my kids for instance, if they were sick with some known treatable disease there would be no other option in my mind to treat them with science and medicine that has been proven to work. 油I wouldnt only pray for them to get better and not do anything about it, but I would pray for them and do whatever was necessary to help my family deal with the stress and worry of a child being sick. 油Here we have used them both to our benefit and they each serve a different purpose and effectiveness. 油Thanks again for your post!油
2-My perception of the tension between science and religion is founded at first glance and then not when looked at more closely. 油Science and religion can coincide in health care if respected for their own strengths and limitations. 油I feel that a healthy balance of both can benefit our patients providing different needs when theyre needed. 油I have seen with my own eyes CRP markers drop in an infant receiving antibiotic treatment and I have also seen an infant that wasnt supposed to live by scientific probability actually make it and thrive with prayer being the only obvious intervention. 油So, trying to single out one over the other as more effective than the other seems less beneficial than trying to work them both in when the patient requires such help.
I feel that science is good for some of the more usual cases and things we feel we can help with its information, and I also feel that we can use religion to help a patient with their mental aspects of 油healing. 油We can quantify an improvement in a patient through lab levels and such, but it's hard to do the same with religion and how a patient uses that tool as comfort or however they use it in their lives. 油Some observational studies suggest that people who have regular spiritual practices tend to live longer. Another study points to a possible mechanism: interleukin (IL)-6. Increased levels of IL-6 are associated with an increased incidence of disease. A research study involving 1700 older adults showed that those who attended church were half as likely to have elevated levels of IL-6. The authors hypothesized that religious commitment may improve stress control by offering better coping mechanisms, richer social support, and the strength of personal values and worldview (NCBI, 2001). 油In this example we see the benefits were surveyed to be founded, but the exact workings arent exactly known. 油The great thing about science is that usually we have some tangible results that are repeatable and theres safety to be found in that. 油The great thing about religion is that we can have faith in whatever we believe in and thats all thats needed. 油It's our.Psychotherapy - The myths and realities in Pakistan

By the 17th century, "psychology" meant the scientific study of the human mind. It then discusses some of the early pioneers of psychotherapy, noting that Sigmund Freud was one of the first to practice formal psychotherapy despite writing extensively without empirical evidence.

A life-threatening disease, such as cancer, confronts us with realities and questions that prompts to step back from our lives and reflect on the meaning and implications of the illness. Our perspective on these realities and questions emerges in large measure from our religious, spiritual or philosophical orientation, and it influences how we experience the illness--its meaning, how we feel about it and how well we come to terms with it. A religious perspective can help us as we grapple with these issues and seek to keep our bearing through the mental and emotional turmoil that comes with having cancer.
In order to discuss how religion and spirituality can help in dealing with cancer, we want to first review some of the religious and spiritual issues, questions and problems that cancer presents. These are questions of meaning--the meaning of our life and what is important, the meaning behind our personal affliction with cancer and finding meaning in our suffering.

The document defines spiritual health therapy as a professional practice that involves assessing and addressing the spiritual needs and distress of patients. It involves exploring a patient's sense of meaning, purpose, values and relationships. The goal is to support spiritual health, which is defined as having a sense of connectedness to oneself, others, nature and potentially a higher power. Spiritual health therapists utilize therapeutic interventions like support, clarification and confrontation to help patients engage in activities linked to spiritual well-being, such as prayer, meditation and finding meaning. The work occurs in clinical settings and aims to complement medical care by attending to the whole person.

This document discusses the relationship between religion and various psychiatric disorders based on studies. It finds that religion can influence disorders both positively and negatively. Religiosity is generally associated with lower rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, likely due to social support and coping resources. However, religious beliefs can also contribute to guilt, distress, and obsessions in some individuals with conditions like depression and OCD. The direction of causality between religion and mental health is complex and not fully understood.Spirtuality in Palliative Care-Dr MFC Manalo.pdf

The document reviews several topics related to mental health models, including:
1) Participants will review the medical model of mental health and evaluate the Positive Psychology model, as well as consider cultural models of mental health and the impacts of biofeedback research.
2) The DSM editions are discussed in the context of defining mental illness and disorders. Positive Psychology is introduced as the scientific study of strengths and virtues that allow individuals and communities to thrive.
3) Research on positive psychotherapy found it relieved depressive symptoms better than treatment as usual or antidepressant drugs alone. Focusing on building strengths can help suffering people more than focusing solely on treating disorders.The Impact of Spirituality on Counseling

This document summarizes a proposed study on the impact of spirituality on counseling for families experiencing cancer in the Kentucky-Tennessee region. The study would use a mixed methods approach, beginning with a standardized spirituality assessment and then conducting semi-structured interviews to describe participants' perceptions of spirituality in their own words. Previous research has found that spirituality plays an important role in coping and quality of life for cancer patients and their families, but definitions and understandings of spirituality vary widely. The goal of this study is to better understand how spirituality impacts counseling needs for families dealing with cancer in this region. Participants would include cancer patients and their immediate family members from several treatment centers in Kentucky and Tennessee.1- 油I can totally see where there would be tension between.docx

1- 油I can totally see where there would be tension between these two, especially in todays world. 油I am no expert on religion or science for that matter, but I do feel like some of the tension is unnecessary. 油I feel that the two can work to benefit our patients by balancing them with the needs of the patient. 油Lets take my kids for instance, if they were sick with some known treatable disease there would be no other option in my mind to treat them with science and medicine that has been proven to work. 油I wouldnt only pray for them to get better and not do anything about it, but I would pray for them and do whatever was necessary to help my family deal with the stress and worry of a child being sick. 油Here we have used them both to our benefit and they each serve a different purpose and effectiveness. 油Thanks again for your post!油
2-My perception of the tension between science and religion is founded at first glance and then not when looked at more closely. 油Science and religion can coincide in health care if respected for their own strengths and limitations. 油I feel that a healthy balance of both can benefit our patients providing different needs when theyre needed. 油I have seen with my own eyes CRP markers drop in an infant receiving antibiotic treatment and I have also seen an infant that wasnt supposed to live by scientific probability actually make it and thrive with prayer being the only obvious intervention. 油So, trying to single out one over the other as more effective than the other seems less beneficial than trying to work them both in when the patient requires such help.
I feel that science is good for some of the more usual cases and things we feel we can help with its information, and I also feel that we can use religion to help a patient with their mental aspects of 油healing. 油We can quantify an improvement in a patient through lab levels and such, but it's hard to do the same with religion and how a patient uses that tool as comfort or however they use it in their lives. 油Some observational studies suggest that people who have regular spiritual practices tend to live longer. Another study points to a possible mechanism: interleukin (IL)-6. Increased levels of IL-6 are associated with an increased incidence of disease. A research study involving 1700 older adults showed that those who attended church were half as likely to have elevated levels of IL-6. The authors hypothesized that religious commitment may improve stress control by offering better coping mechanisms, richer social support, and the strength of personal values and worldview (NCBI, 2001). 油In this example we see the benefits were surveyed to be founded, but the exact workings arent exactly known. 油The great thing about science is that usually we have some tangible results that are repeatable and theres safety to be found in that. 油The great thing about religion is that we can have faith in whatever we believe in and thats all thats needed. 油It's our.Psychotherapy - The myths and realities in Pakistan

This document discusses the history and evolution of psychology and psychotherapy. It notes that the terms "psychology" and "psychologia" were first used in the 16th century to refer to the study of the soul. By the 17th century, "psychology" meant the scientific study of the human mind. It then discusses some of the early pioneers of psychotherapy, noting that Sigmund Freud was one of the first to practice formal psychotherapy despite writing extensively without empirical evidence. The document also discusses some challenges of practicing Western models of psychotherapy in Pakistan given its collectivist cultural context. It outlines some prominent figures in the development of psychology in Pakistan. Overall, the summary provides a high-level overview of the key topics and evolution ofHow religion and spirituality can help handout

A life-threatening disease, such as cancer, confronts us with realities and questions that prompts to step back from our lives and reflect on the meaning and implications of the illness. Our perspective on these realities and questions emerges in large measure from our religious, spiritual or philosophical orientation, and it influences how we experience the illness--its meaning, how we feel about it and how well we come to terms with it. A religious perspective can help us as we grapple with these issues and seek to keep our bearing through the mental and emotional turmoil that comes with having cancer.
In order to discuss how religion and spirituality can help in dealing with cancer, we want to first review some of the religious and spiritual issues, questions and problems that cancer presents. These are questions of meaning--the meaning of our life and what is important, the meaning behind our personal affliction with cancer and finding meaning in our suffering.

This module aims to provide spiritual care training to participants. It discusses the relationship between religion, spirituality, and pastoral care. Spiritual care involves engaging with others as fellow humans, attending to how people receive care, and supporting what nurtures a person's spirit. When facing death, some common spiritual concerns include relationships/belonging, meaning/self-worth, and coping/control. Effective spiritual care involves listening to a person's story without judgment and building trust.The Practice of Spiritual Health Therapy--Definig our work and profession

The document defines spiritual health therapy as a professional practice that involves assessing and addressing the spiritual needs and distress of patients. It involves exploring a patient's sense of meaning, purpose, values and relationships. The goal is to support spiritual health, which is defined as having a sense of connectedness to oneself, others, nature and potentially a higher power. Spiritual health therapists utilize therapeutic interventions like support, clarification and confrontation to help patients engage in activities linked to spiritual well-being, such as prayer, meditation and finding meaning. The work occurs in clinical settings and aims to complement medical care by attending to the whole person.Health and spirituality

Non-Invasive ICP Monitoring for NeurosurgeonsDhaval Shukla
油
This presentation delves into the latest advancements in non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring techniques, specifically tailored for neurosurgeons. It covers the importance of ICP monitoring in clinical practice, explores various non-invasive methods, and discusses their accuracy, reliability, and clinical applications. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of non-invasive approaches over traditional invasive methods, including reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive overview is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of neurosurgeons in managing patients with neurological conditions.
Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this presentation is to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
