Fear In Nursing Research

283 Words2 Pages

As nurses, we are taught to always accept different people culture and to be aware that not everyone is the same. I wouldn't agree that a nurse should feel scared in giving the patient care because it's not that you are refusing to care for them just in a different manner. However, I do think that nurses do become scared of the outcome of the care that their patient asks for. There are several outcomes in my humble opinion that nurses should or would be afraid of when giving care to someone to people of diverse cultures. Such as:

1. When someone dies often times family members and loved ones go through the 5 stages of grief. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Anger is the stage I would say that nurses should be afraid of.

    This summer I was assigned Final Gifts by Maggie Callahan and Patricia Kelley. Both authors worked as hospice nurses and were able to share their thirty-three years of first- hand experiences and knowledge with us to help better our understanding of the special awareness’s, needs, and communications of the dying. The book focuses profoundly on the physical, metaphysical, and psychological traits the dying encounter weeks or days before death. Both Kelley and Callahan are experts at observing every little behavior of the sick and being able to pinpoint specific signs that mean death is approaching. Not only does this book concentrate on the sick and their needs, but it also fits in the families and their duties in such hard times.

    Now I am old enough to know that death is not the end, but it is the beginning of a new life. We have to submit our lives to God and ask him for the strength to move forward. Worldview about life after death will largely determine how the patient and families welcome death. Now, as a Christian nurse, I can see death in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ (GCU, 2015). If I can help the family members to go through this traumatic experience and the grieving process, my Christian calling as nurse will be

    Generally speaking, humans cannot be entirely prepared for dying or the death of a close person in their life. Some people say that facing death gives a person both opportunity to grow mentally and the strength to carry on in life; however, it can be too much to handle alone. Help can be needed not only from relatives and peers, but also from the experts. Strong grieving is more than usual, but life must eventually carry on. Death can be both interesting and frightening at the same time because nobody knows what happens afterwards.

    Today, health disparities among minority populations is a growing phenomenon that can be prevented with extensive research. A health disparity is a disease that differs greatly in occurrence among different populations. The focus in this critique will be on health disparities among minority populations in the United States, since little nursing research has been done in this area. The more research conducted on health disparities among minorities could improve the gap that exists between minority groups and prevalence of certain diseases. The two articles I chose to critique are Gaskin et al.

  • Summary: Cultural Competency In Nursing

    297 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cultural competency in nursing can be simply defined as having the necessary knowledge and skills to provide effectively and quality care to patients of a given culture (Comer, Whichello, & Neubrander, 2013). People belonging to a common culture may not behave similarly as the culture would dictate. Therefore, in handling patients of a common culture, a nurse should be keen not to generalize patients since everyone is unique in their preference. Cultural diversity is common in most countries most especially in the United States. The diverse cultures have necessitated care providers to seek further training and to adhere to regulations that protect individuals from different cultural backgrounds, with an aim of providing quality care (Cushman,
