The health promotion models are used to explain and to promote health behavioral changes. Bandura’s self-efficacy theory of behavior change is one the theories that promotes behavioral changes. This theory was introduced by Albert Bandura in 1977 (GCU, 2018, para. 30). This theory is based on the ability that each person has to achieve goals by believing that they have the ability to accomplishing their goal. This theory encourages to learn by repetition, reinforcement and symbolic modeling. For example people learn by watching something over and over and practicing a task multiple times. This is when repetition and reinforcement come into place. Another great example is when people start in a new job and the first couple of days they feel very lost but then it becomes a habit. Some barriers that can affect the ability to learn can be environment, cognitive status, age, desire to learn and culture. A patient’s willingness to learn can affect tremendously the learning outcomes. A patient that is willing to learn will listen, ask question and will value all the information that is given to then. Therefore, information will be retained. On the other hand, a patient that is not willing or ready to learn will not pay attention to the information that is given to him, therefore, he will not learn anything.

A participatory health model is a health care model that includes the patient and his or her family in decision making to improve his or her healthcare results. This allows healthcare providers, patient and family to get involved in treatment, options, preferences and goals. Success or failure of this application lies in the patient’s relationship to his or her support group. A patient that belongs in a family with a strong foundation can lead to a better outcome than a patient who has a strained relationship with his immediate family. Patients who are vulnerable to these barriers will have challenges in recovery and treatment. Participation and compliance can be achieved if the patient cooperates with the people around him. Mutual respect and open communication are key factors to make sure all participants are on the same page. It is also important to know if family and patient are in agreement with the patient’s wishes. Issues such as the patient’s age, status, mental capacity, learning and physical disabilities, and financial disposition can be barriers to learning outcomes.

PHI-413V Lecture 1 Worldview Foundations of Spirituality and Ethics Introduction There has been an increase of

interest in the role of spirituality in health care, as well as in the workplace and other fields in general. This interest has been met with a variety of responses, including an uneasiness that has historical roots. There is generally a perceived tension between science and religion/spirituality. This estrangement between the worlds of science and religion is in some ways not truly reflective of some inherent incompatibility between science and religion per se, but rather a reflection of underlying worldview tensions. The rediscovery of spirituality and its implications for health care provides recognition that the estrangement between the two worlds has not served patients’ best interests. If this is the case, then part of the task of serving patients well will require some basic worldview training in order to not only understand patients’ own backgrounds more clearly, but to also promote the fruitful interaction of science and religion in the health care setting more generally. Spirituality and Worldview The theoretical and practical foundations of any discipline or field take place within the wider framework of what is known as a worldview. A “worldview” is a term that describes a complete way of viewing the world around you. For example, consider religion and/or culture. For many people, their religion or culture colors the way in which they view their entire reality; nothing is untouched by it and everything is within its scope. Yet one need not be religious to have a worldview; atheism or agnosticism are also worldviews. Thus, all of one’s fundamental beliefs, practices, and relationships are seen through the lens of a worldview. The foundations of medicine and health care in general bring with it a myriad of assumptions about the very sorts of questions answered in a person’s worldview. Consider carefully the seven questions in the Called to Care textbook in order to begin grasping more clearly the concept of a worldview. A Challenging Ethos A fundamental thesis of this course is that two sorts of underlying philosophies or beliefs about the nature of knowledge, namely, scientism and relativism, are at the heart of this perceived tension between science and religion. Moreover, scientism and relativism help explain to some degree why this tension has not served the best interests of patients, and is even at odds with the fundamental goals of medicine and care. Scientism is the belief that the best or only way to have any knowledge of reality is by means of the sciences (Moreland and Craig, 2003, pp. 346-350). At first glance this might sound like a noncontroversial or even commonsensical claim. However, think about this carefully. One way to state this is to say that if something is not known scientifically then it is not known at all. In other words, the only way to hold true beliefs about anything is to know them scientifically. Relativism on the other hand is the view that there is no such thing as truth in the commonsensical sense of that concept. Every claim about the nature of reality is simply relative to either an individual or a society/culture. Thus, according to this way of thinking, it might be true here in the United States that equality is a good thing, but in some Middle Eastern countries it is simply not a concern. Yet there is no ultimate truth of the matter, it is simply a matter of individual or popular opinion. In some way, truth is just what an individual or a culture decides that it is, and therefore not truly discovered, but invented. The current context of health care and medicine in the West is defined by an ethos (the prevailing attitudes and beliefs of a culture) of scientism and relativism. This ethos has exacerbated the perceived philosophical and cultural tension between science and religion. The result has been a general relativizing and caricaturing of religion, and the elevation of science as the default epistemology for all things rational or even true. While scientism may seem commonsensical or rational at first glance, a closer examination reveals glaring weaknesses. It should be noted right from the outset that scientism is not equivalent to science. This is because scientism is a philosophy about the nature and limits of science as well as the extent of human knowledge. Scientism is a philosophical thesis that claims that science is the only methodology to gain knowledge; every other claim to knowledge is either mere opinion or false. One of the most pressing dilemmas for scientism is science’s inability to make moral or ethical judgments. To understand why, consider the nature of scientific claims and their distinction from moral or ethical judgments. General scientific claims can be described simply as the attempt to make descriptions of fact. But when people make moral or ethical judgments, they do not simply make statements of fact (though that is part of it), but are evaluating those fact claims. Thus when making a moral judgment people are evaluating whether some fact is good or bad. Thus consider the distinction between the following statements: (1) 90% of Americans believe that racism is wrong. (2) Racism is wrong. Statement (1) is a statement of fact in the sense that it is meant to describe the way things actually are, or what is the case. Statement (2) however, makes a judgment; it makes a normative claim in the sense that it is making a claim about what ought to be the case. Statement (2) is not simply reporting or describing the facts. It is saying that it is not the way it is supposed to be. In recognizing these differences, a crucial distinction has surfaced between (1) scientific claims and (2) moral and ethical claims. Scientific claims are limited to statements of description; they are solely claims about what is the case. Moral and ethical statements are prescriptive and are evaluative claims about what ought to be the case. This has been described as the fact-value distinction to designate the difference between facts and values, values being a prescription of the way things ought to be, the moral evaluation of facts. This distinction has also been described as the “is” (fact) versus “ought” (value) distinction. Thus, because science deals with mere facts, it is not in a position to say anything about what ought to be the case. Science is relevant to moral and ethical claims in interesting ways, but prescriptive statements about what morally ought to be the case are simply beyond the bounds of science. To try to derive what ought to be the case only from what is the case is a logical fallacy. If one were to look at the world and the way things are, and then claim that it simply follows that it is the way it ought to be does not match the experience of morality. There are many events that are the case and describe what is (genocide, war, hatred, murder), but whether or not they ought to be that way is a further question that science is not in a position to answer. Thus to try to derive an ought from an is refers to what is called the fallacy of deriving of ought from an is. Much more could be said of the inadequacy of scientism, but it should be noted that moral, ethical, and religious claims all involve normative claims about the way the world ought to be. One practical effect within health care has been the subtle but pervasive view that religion is a harmless tangent to medicine and health care at best, and a superstitious and destructive distraction at worst. Recently there has been a resurgence and appreciation of spirituality within medicine in more holistic approaches to health care. For example, the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University was established in 1998 for the purpose of conducting research, training others to conduct research, and promoting scholarly fieldbuilding activities related to religion, spirituality, and health. The Center serves as a clearinghouse for information on this topic, and seeks to support and encourage dialogue between researchers, clinicians, theologians, clergy, and others interested in the intersection. (Center for Spirituality, 2014, para. 1) While a welcome corrective, it is easy to inadvertently buy into weaker forms of scientism and fail to appreciate the particularity of each religion by reducing all religion to a generic spirituality. For example, Burkhardt (1999) attempts to defend a generic definition of the term “spirituality” (p. 71), but Shelly and Miller (2006) point out the inadequacy of such a strategy. It is not fair or respectful to paint all religions or worldviews with the same brush under the heading of spirituality and ignore the differences. Thus, in the interest of philosophical clarity, religious sensitivity, and genuine care, this section will introduce fundamental concepts and challenge the contemporary ethos to make room for genuine religious dialogue. The Foundations of Christian Spirituality in Healthcare In stark contrast to this ethos is the Christian tradition and the resources it provides for a rich conception of care. Contra scientism and relativism, the foundations of Christian spirituality in health care, includes two attitudes/theses: (1) an acknowledgement of science as a subset of knowledge in general, and a deep appreciation for science as a collective human enterprise that reflects the knowability and order of creation; and (2) the goodness and worth of this creation (in so far as it reflects God’s creative intention) with human beings bearing special dignity and intrinsic worth, reflected in the well-known bioethical principle of “respect for persons” (National Commission, 1979). The foundations of Christian spirituality in health care assume genuine knowledge of God and his purposes. Central to this foundation are the biblical Christian narrative and the person of Jesus Christ. In order to appreciate and do justice to this center, the ethos of scientism and postmodernism must be first challenged and dispelled. This first topic of this course is devoted to understanding the concept of worldview in detail and to begin to challenge the philosophies of relativism and scientism. It will also begin to lay the foundations of a broadly holistic understanding of the relationship between spirituality and health care in general, and a Christian worldview for health care in general.

Family of choice is one of the definitions of a family that includes all members of the family whether they are related by genetics, marriage, friendships, or partnerships. There are so many different family make ups in today’s society that there cannot possibly be a one size fits all mold. Each family has different beliefs and priorities and must be assessed on an individual basis. Nurses and members of the health care team must evaluate the family makeup, dynamic and influence of each member when planning family centered care. Each family member is an individual and should be treated as such however, each member has an effect on the family as a whole. Nontraditional family structures must be acknowledged for patient care to have a positive effect. If a female patient chooses to have a female life partner and the health care team refuses to allow the partner to participate in the plan of care because they are not legally married then the patient’s support system will be lacking. The focus will not be on working toward a common positive goal, it will be on why the patient’s loved one is not accepted by the health care team. Family systems theory helps the health care team understand the family dynamic better. How do they communicate and interact? Who influences who? This information is important when planning care and developing goals for the patient

The definition of family can be subcategorized in variation including family of origin, nuclear family, single-parent family, blended family, and family of choice. These family structures are made up of complex, diverse and dynamic units (Green, 2018). It is important that the nurse recognizes these non-traditional family structures. Family members no matter who they are made up of, play a huge role in the individual. Although the patient is an individual that is independent in their own thoughts and actions, he or she is also a part of a family system that is heavily influence and impacted by the family unit. Thus, it is important for the nurse to recognize these dynamics and use interventions to help foster a healthy relationship. According to the family systems theory, observing or understanding the complexity and emotions of the family system lends to understanding the individual, also, when a change occurs the person’s actions affect the rest of the family (Green, 2018). With diverse families the dynamics change and it’s important to consider these theories to evaluate patient care.
