Pełny opis: |
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the religious and spiritual aspects of social and health care. Religions vs. Spirituality - different definitions, but sometimes both terms are used interchangeably. Some see religion as the manifestation of one's spirituality, yet a person can be spiritual without being religious. A person can also be externally “religious” in performing certain actions, and yet not focus on the core principles of spirituality. One's religiosity usually helps in developing spiritual life, but non religious people have also their spirituality. Lectures will be based on definition of Spirituality - that, which allows a person to experience transcendent meaning in life. This is often expressed as a relationship with God, but it can also be about nature, art, music, family, or community - whatever beliefs and values give a person a sense of meaning and purpose in life.” (Puchalski, 2000). A Consensus Definition of Spirituality will be discussed: “Spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred.” Consensus Conference on "Improving the Quality of Spiritual Care as a Dimension of Palliative Care", Pasadena, CA, US, 2009, Spirituality will be shown in practice of health ans social care as an integral part of all our patients, their families and our lives. Suffering, illness and loss triggers deep issues related to meaning, purpose and often to the finality of life. These issues, if ignored, can cause deep suffering in people’s lives. Often it is in the context of health and social care systems that patients, families and clinicians become aware of these spiritual issues. Suffering, if supported, may be transformed in a person’s life where healing as a restoration of meaning, purpose, coherence and inner peace might be possible. Spirituality is therefore foundation to the provision of whole person care and one of the most important elements of teamwork efforts in health and social care. Ways of cooperation with religious institutions and spiritual leaders will be discussed in practical ways. Main research tools for assessing spiritual needs will be presented, among them FICA Assessment Tool by C. M. Puchalski, which is adapted into Polish will be discussed more in details. Other tools will be also presented. Practical examples of problems with spiritual/religious/cultural context will show some challenges for health and social care in Poland and EU. |
