Tattoos in Nursing: Do We Practice What We Preach?

摘要

The specialty practice of parish nursing was first recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA), and a Scope & Standards of Practice was first de veloped in 1998. The title was changed to Faith Community Nursing with the 2005 revision of the Scope & Standards (ANA & Health Ministries Association [HMA], 2017). Although all nurses provide some form of spiritual care, the spiritual care education offered in most undergraduate nursing programs typically is minimal. Faith community nursing, however, is a:specialized practice of professional nursing that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit, as well as the promotion of whole-person health and the prevention or minimization of illness within the context of a faith community and the wider community (ANA &HMA, 2017, p. 8).
