Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-authored book, with editors and authors who are leaders in Faith Community Nursing (FCN) that aims to address contemporary issues in faith-based, whole person, community based health offering cost effective, accessible, patient centered care along the patient continuum while challenging contemporary health policy to include more health promotion services. Twenty-five chapters take the reader from a foundational understanding of this historic grass-roots movement to the present day international specialty nursing practice. The book is structured into five sections that describe both the historical advancement of the Faith Community Nursing, its current implications and future challenges, taking into account the perspectives of the pastor, congregation, nurse, health care system and public health national and international organizations. The benefits of this book are that it is intended for a mixed audience including lay, academic, medical professionals or health care executives. By changing the mindset of the reader to see the nurse as more than providing illness care, the faith community as more than a place one goes to on Sunday and health as more than physical, creative alternatives for promoting health emerge through Faith Community Nursing.

Download or read book Faith Community Nursing Impact on Patient Understanding of Acute Care Discharge Instructions written by Elizabeth Davis Snow and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment and evaluation processes for patient understanding of discharge instructions are essential for patient execution of self-care activities. During the acute phase of illness, patients are not able to learn or retain instructions well. The discharge process from an inpatient hospitalization does not allow for full evaluation of a patient’s understanding of their discharge instructions, though written instructions are provided. Implementation of a home visitation program by faith community nurses can contribute to improve the quality of the patient understanding of their discharge instructions. Utilizing the Teach Back Method to assess, evaluate and re-educate promotes patient understanding and execution of their self-care activities. The patient relationship, and experience, with faith community nurses demonstrates caring, as guided by the Watson Theory of Human Caring. This relationship yields a trusting environment that demonstrates patient advocacy through patient education and self-management. (American Nurses Association, 2012). The role of the faith community nurse in reviewing patient discharge instructions, provides a resource for the improved quality of patient healthcare by implementing the nursing process in patient education and understanding.
