Most Hindus prefer to die at home but if it is not possible, certain rituals are performed at the hospital (Kemp & Bhungalia, 2002). The patient may be helped to face east and lighting a lamp near the patient’s head. When a Hinduism dies, the only people that will touch the body is the family members, the healthcare provider will touch the body only if it’s necessary (Kemp & Bhungalia, 2002).
Sikhism
Sikhs believe in only one, universal, timeless and a formless God and they can only know him by meditation. They earn living by being honest, sharing good things with the needy, living a selfless life. Karma is seen as the sum of good and bad works. They also believe in rebirth (Campbell, 2006).

It is a monotheistic faith, preaching the existence of only one God, and teaching ideals that may be universally accepted today and in the future: honesty, compassion, humility, piety, social commitment, and most of all tolerance for other religions.

When the patients are transferred to the hospitals they went through a lot of tension and anxiety like, frightening of the unknown, hurting therapeutic processes, modification in financial status because of the increasing expenses due to hospitalizing and are considerable as most hard times of their life. By careful self evaluation of the fact that spirituality is one of the greatest key factor in the healing recovery stage, the healing hospitals goal is to enhance overall wellness of the patients and their relatives like brain, spiritual, and feeling needs of life (Eberst, 2008).

Treating all patients with dignity, respect, and understanding to their cultural values and autonomy. Each patient comes with their own religious belief.

Developing a sense of wholeness and having an established relationship with their creator, can assist the individual with maintaining stability during times of illness, stress, or when a cure is not possible. This can facilitate a source of healing within, which will promote the health of members in the faith based community. “To promote healing, the nurse builds on strengths to encourage the connecting and integrating of the inner spiritual” (Stanhope, Marcia, & Lancaster, 2012, p. 972). Connecting with the inner spiritual is an important aspect because it can assist the individual with making healthier lifestyle choices.

Introduction Faith Community Nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit as well as on the promotion of holistic health and prevention or minimization of illness within the context of a faith community” (ANA, 2012, as cited in Breisch, Hurley, & Moore, 2013 p. 12). When you think about faith community nursing, the term “wholistic” probably comes to mind. This is not to say that other nursing disciplines do not incorporate holistic care into practice, however, spiritualism can easily be neglected due to sensitivity, barriers, or clear differences between the nurse and patient beliefs. There are four key components of faith community nursing which include spirituality, professionalism, holistic health, and community. With faith community nursing there are no barriers when it comes to spiritualism, because the congregator and nurse often share common beliefs, therefore nursing skills along with spiritual support can be incorporated into care.
The career of nursing has countless aspects that are imperative for the effectiveness and overall satisfaction of care for the average person. These aspects include physical care, mental health care, and spiritual care. The aspect of spiritual care includes the nurse assessing her clients’ spiritual health and creating a plan for complete treatment. Spirituality may be a specific object or person the client connects with, so nurses must be aware of each client’s spiritual preference. The United States has a vast diversity of people where every client the nurse encounters will value something completely different. More religious people might value a cross or a bible in their room. Some might want their family to frequently visit. Others might prefer a certain type of music playing at a certain time of the day. With violent protests, mass shootings, and threat of war looming over the Unites States’ head every day, spiritual care is going to be on a major upsurge in the health career fields.
Throughout history, it seems that medicine and spirituality have been linked in many circumstances. In a study looking at the use of complementary and alternative therapies in cardiac patients, spiritual healing was one of many practices patient sought to utilize. In another study, 29% of participants chose to use prayer or premeditation as a way to cope with their chronic illness. In both studies, prayer or meditation was more likely to be used by individuals who had a large social network, as well as support from another person in the same health situation. Based on these studies, it seems that many individuals (not just cardiovascular patients) turn to their spirituality in times of health distress.
In the world of health care there are multiple factors that affect the quality of treatment. One of the most debated subjects is religion. As all religious traditions tend to be complex and go for some length of time special care must be considered for the patient, family and care team. Through the years, the United States health care evolves with the changing demographics to develop an ethical treatment for Muslims in healthcare. Facing prejudices, Islam is highly debated within healthcare; however Islamic beliefs and traditions have been cooperative and manageable by healthcare providers.
Throughout the Fall 2016 semester in Modern World History II, many topics and battles were discussed from August all the way to December. For instance the first attack on U.S. soil during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria causing WWI. Both and most of the events we learned about had to do with alliances, which was the most important topic we discussed in this semester. Alliances have always found their way to either help or destroy a side, during any given situation we learned about during this semester. Alliances were and are currently one of the biggest contributing factors to major conflicts and resolutions around the world.
In healthcare organizations, medical staff must conform to their hospital and their country’s code of conduct. Not only do they have to meet set standards, they must also take their patient into consideration. When making a decision upon a patient, medical staff must recognize religious backgrounds and spiritual beliefs. By understanding a patients’ beliefs and their belief system, a medical worker can give the patient their deserved medical assistance without overstepping boundaries or coming off as offensive. The practices and beliefs of four religions will be articulated throughout this essay to fully understand how religion can either help or hinder the healing process.
Religion is a significant aspect of culture that must be understood and respected. Through understanding the differences in peoples cultures, a nurse who is tending to a patient who’s beliefs differ from his or her own can appropriately adjust care to respect the patient’s beliefs and
“Each of us judges human reality according to a set of adopted and adapted moral criteria based on such factors as nationality, education, social class, professional occupation, and, of course, religious affiliation. ”(Fitzgerald, 2014) With an educational background in Healthcare Management and work experience in healthcare and management positions I have observed religious concepts in the field. Religious concepts are expressed, lived, and revealed through both employee and patient actions. These aspects of religion in the workplace also present challenges, for management in particular. The United States healthcare field has been shaped by basic religious concepts of ancient Greek through the Oath of Hippocratic, and still shows evident
