Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Palestinians. Providing spiritual care is one of the means that are used to relieve stress and consequently, decrease number and length of hospitalization of cardiac patients. Recently, more attention has been paid to spirituality in health care. As a result, many hospitals in the Western countries started to offer spiritual care to their clients. In Gaza Strip, there is no clear policy related to spiritual care.

A total of 279 cardiac patients and 12 healthcare providers participated in the study. Results revealed that there is a severe shortage of spiritual care provision to cardiac patients. The majority preferred that nurses provide such spiritual care to them.

Book Synopsis Spiritual Care of the Hospitalized Patients Following Admission to the Cardiac Care Units by : Mysoon K. Abu-El-Noor
Download or read book Spiritual Care of the Hospitalized Patients Following Admission to the Cardiac Care Units written by Mysoon K. Abu-El-Noor and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart disease is the major cause of death among Palestinians. Significantly higher levels of stress can lead to repeated hospitalizations; consequently, preventing and relieving stress becomes a major concern for this group of patients in many countries. One of the approaches to reduce stress is the provision of spiritual care, which helps to decrease levels of stress and increase patients' abilities to cope emotionally. Although it is important, health care professionals tend to ignore spiritual care and focus on meeting the physical needs of their patient. Recently, more attention has been paid to spirituality in health care and the relationship between spirituality and illness is at the center of a growing body of literature. As a result, many hospitals in the Western countries have started to offer spiritual care to their clients. In Gaza Strip, there is no clear policy about providing spiritual care. The present study aimed to assess if spiritual care is provided to hospitalized cardiac patients who live in Gaza Strip, who should provide this care, explore the barriers to provision of such care, and how to overcome these barriers. The design for the study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection. A total of 279 cardiac patients (response rate of 99.29%) and twelve healthcare providers participated in the study. A quantitative data collection approach was used to collect data from cardiac patients, while a qualitative approach using a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from healthcare providers. Results revealed that there is a severe shortage of spiritual care provision to cardiac patients. The majority (n=159, 57%) preferred that nurses provide such spiritual care to them. The responses of healthcare providers regarding the barriers and obstacles they face in providing spiritual care were grouped into several categories. These barriers included inadequate education and training, ambiguity about spirituality, inadequate time, shortage of staff, policy-related barriers, and individual-related barrier. Most of the barriers reported by the health care participants have been reported in the literature. To overcome these barriers, health care professionals suggested several strategies that were categorized under the following themes: policy change, organizational interventions, including spirituality in health education and other miscellaneous interventions. Because heart disease is the leading cause of death in Palestine and providing spiritual care to cardiac patients will help to decrease their stress and length of stay in the hospital, while also decreasing the cost of their treatment, health policy-makers need to pay more attention to this groups of patients and should adopt a spiritual care policy as an operative component of the health care system.

Book Synopsis Perception of the Role of Spirituality and Religion in Elective Cardiac Sugery Patients by : Leslie A. Worrel
Download or read book Perception of the Role of Spirituality and Religion in Elective Cardiac Sugery Patients written by Leslie A. Worrel and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Religious beliefs and practices are common in the United States. Many patients seeking health care are interested in including these important personal practices into their overall health care in an attempt to maintain well being. Religious beliefs and spirituality are areas health care providers tend to be timid about addressing and they are unsure as to whether it is their role to do so, even while many patients' religious beliefs are the sole factor they use to cope with their medical illness. The day before a major cardiac procedure, an uncontrollable event, is a life-altering moment. The fact that the surgical and medical team would determine the immediate outcomes provides an intriguing window into the positive attitudes such as hope, optimism and perceived control and faith of the cardiac patients. There is a strong link between religiosity and a patient's ability to feel in control of their health situation and they can gain hope, confidence, optimism and a sense of control through religious faith and prayer. Objective: To investigate by survey a population of individuals undergoing elective thoracic or cardiovascular surgery in regards to their desire for an integration of spirituality and religious acts into their health care regimen during their hospital stay. Design: Subjects were given a survey with their regular intake paperwork when being seen for their pre-surgical consult. Patients were informed of the survey's purpose and asked to voluntarily participate. Setting: Subjects were selected from the Oregon Clinic and were patients of the surgeons of the Thoracic and Cardiovascular surgical team. Subjects: All individuals seeking thoracic or cardiovascular surgery from the above mentioned site and who were interested in completing the survey during the investigative period were surveyed. Results: None of the subjects surveyed were opposed to inquiry into their religious or spiritual desires, nor were any of the subjects opposed to being offered a time of silence, prayer, or meditation. However, subjects that did associate themselves with an organized religion were opposed to a visit by a religious figure from a religion different from their own whereas those subjects that did not associate themselves with any particular religion were open to the idea of a visit from a religious professional of any faith. Conclusion: A cardiac surgeon would not be overstepping their boundaries by inquiring into a patient's desires in regards to religion or spirituality during the course of their hospital stay. They would not be in the wrong for asking the patient if they'd like a visit from someone of the same religion or that of a different religion. It would not be frowned upon to offer a time of prayer, silence, or meditation prior to performing cardiac surgery.

Book Synopsis Approaching Death by : Committee on Care at the End of Life
Download or read book Approaching Death written by Committee on Care at the End of Life and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."
Book Synopsis End-of-Life Care in Cardiovascular Disease by : Sarah J. Goodlin
Download or read book End-of-Life Care in Cardiovascular Disease written by Sarah J. Goodlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: End-of-life issues in cardiology are becoming increasingly important in the management of patients in the cardiac unit, but there is frequently a lack of understanding regarding their impact on cardiology practice. The cardiac unit is increasingly becoming the location whereby a number of key clinical decisions relating to end-of-life care are being made, such as the decision to remove medications, the appropriate removal of cardiac devices, the management of do not resuscitate orders and the requirement for other cardiac procedures in light of the management of the terminally ill cardiac patients. Those working in palliative care need input from the cardiovascular team as the cardiologist is frequently still managing these patients until they are moved to the hospice. That this move into a hospice is often delayed until the very last moment, there is considerable onus on the cardiovascular management of these patients to be much broader in scope and take account of some of the more palliative medical decisions needed in this group of patients. This concise reference will detail the practical issues open to cardiovascular physicians and those medical professionals who manage patients reaching the end of their life from a cardiology perspective. It will detail the full management options open to them to ensure that their practice is in line with the requirements of the patient nearing the end of their life whether the cause be cardiovascular in origin or who need appropriate management of secondary cardiovascular symptoms. It will also include the various ethical, cultural and geographical issues that need to be considered when managing these patients.
