Stories of Hope Rodgers, Melanie. editor text Electronic books. xx 2021 monographic eng 1 online resource (246 pages) This book recognises the challenges associated with the concept of spirituality. An awareness of this concept is integral to the provision of person-centred holistic care. However, APNs ability to provide spiritual care is often impeded by time pressures and the prioritisation of clinical tasks. Confusion about the meaning of spiritually and its relationship to religion compound the challenges involved in providing spiritual care leaving APNs feeling ill-equipped to address this area of care. Indeed many APNs view spirituality as synonymous with religion. This book provides clarity with the assumption that spirituality is innate to all of our patients and is related to what gives them hope, meaning and purpose. Fundamentally it is about being human. APNs ability to practice with kindness, compassion and empathy will naturally resonate with spiritually competent practice. It begins with an outline of the definitions of spirituality in addition to the concept of spiritually competent practice. An emphasis on the importance of personal development follows. Case studies from countries across the globe illustrate the benefit of integrating spirituality and provide evidence of the importance and relevance of integrating spirituality into practice. These include discussion and presentations of the related concepts of availability and vulnerability which will give APNs more confidence and competence to integrate spirituality into practice. This book is relevant for APNs, students, educators and researchers. 1: Introduction to Spirituality -- 2: Spiritually Competent Practice and Cultural Aspects of Spirituality -- 3: Spiritual Care Competencies for Advanced Practice Nurses -- 4: Personal Spirituality and Self-Compassion in Advanced Practice Nursing -- 5: Introduction to Rogers’ Availability and Vulnerability Framework for Operationalising Spirituality -- 6: Global APN Case Studies in Spirituality-Stories of Hope from Africa -- 7: Global APN Case Studies in Spirituality-Stories of Hope from Israel -- 8: Global APN Case Study in Spirituality-Stories of Hope from United States of America -- 9: Global APN Case Study in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from the Republic of Ireland -- 10: Global Case Study in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from Canada -- 11: Global Case Study in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from China -- 12: Global APN Case Study in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from Pakistan -- 13: Global APN Case Studies in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from the United Kingdom -- 14: Global APN Case Study in Spirituality-Stories of Hope from Australia -- 15: Global Case Studies in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from Chile -- 16: Conclusion.
