- W2108668855 abstract "Assessing Spirituality Among Hospice Patients: A Phenomenological Study of Hospice Nurses By Isabel E. Kaufman MA, Forensic Psychology Argosy University 2006 BA, Human Development Pacific Oaks College 2001 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Social and Behavioral Sciences Walden University August 2015 Abstract The shift in health care and nursing philosophy and practice from a holistic approach to a highly technological, cure-oriented approach has been attributed to effective pharmaceuticals made to prolong life. Recently medical professionals have shifted their focus to a combination of spiritual healing and medicine. Hospice care in particular have taken a key interest in integrating spirituality within their health care. The problem is that due to the complications in defining spirituality and appropriate training and education of spirituality within nursing curriculum, assessing patients’ spiritual distress may be difficult for many hospice nurses which may be at a loss when attempting to integrate spirituality within their practice. This study used a phenomenological approach to explore the infusion of spirituality in nursing practice and the hospice nurses perceptions of assessing spiritual distress needs of terminally ill patients. Frankl’s existential theory and KublerRoss’s stages of grief theory framed the study. Participants included VIII hospice nurses working in a Pacific Northwestern state. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to explore the essence of the experience of integrating spirituality as well as their views and concerns regarding assessment instruments used to assess spiritual distress. Data was analyzed for content themes. The study found that spiritual courses were merged into hospice nursing as a teaching unity making it difficult for hospice nurses in a Pacific Northwestern State to fully grasp the concept of spirituality. Further findings suggested that only a handful of schools had spiritual nursing as an independent course. The study may impact social change by informing the advancement of hospice nurses and hospice administrators in the practice of including spirituality within healthcare and integrating extensive existential support training within nurses’ curriculum.The shift in health care and nursing philosophy and practice from a holistic approach to a highly technological, cure-oriented approach has been attributed to effective pharmaceuticals made to prolong life.

Assessing Spirituality Among Hospice Patients: A Phenomenological Study of Hospice Nurses By Isabel E. Kaufman Ph.D. Social & Behavioral Sciences, Walden University 2015 M.A Forensic Psychology, Argosy University 2006 B.S Human Development, Pacific Oaks College 2001 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Walden University August 2015 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to all those individuals that strive to find peace and solace when faced with a terminal illness. It is also dedicated to those strong, selfless Angels that give of themselves unconditionally and help guide these fragile souls to a place of reconciliation, peace and ultimately acceptance. It is only through acceptance that we can face death with dignity and not despair. Acknowledgments This dissertation is dedicated to my best friend, partner in life and Huckel-Berry Fin Dr. Ronny. You taught me to keep moving forward and to reach the highest star. Because of you I am complete. You are truly my “everything.” To my five, wonderful children that have been by my side through the difficult times and have made me stronger, more sensitive and definitely more patient. To my father, who passed away while I was pursuing this goal...you taught me through persistence, dedication and passion, anything can be accomplished. And finally, this dissertation is dedicated to Dr. Barbara Benoliel, who pushed me along and made me feel that this was possible. She gave me strength to move forward and for this I will truly be forever grateful. I would also like to thank Dr. Pamela Denning for providing me with her feedback which helped me fulfil this dream." @default.
