Order Description Assignment The Christian Narrative and Spiritual Di... Assignment Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft Details: The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions. The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative analysis of two faith philosophies towards providing health care, one being the Christian perspective. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from: Sikh, Baha'i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc. In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide a comparative analysis of the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research. In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to chapter 2 of the Called to Care for the list of questions. Be sure to address the implications of these beliefs for health care. In addition answer the following questions that address the practical and healthcare implications based on the research: 1. What are critical common components to all religions/beliefs in regards to healing, such as prayer, meditation, belief, etc.? Explain. 2. What is important to patients of the faiths when cared for by health care providers whose spiritual beliefs differ from their own? In your conclusion, describe your own spiritual perspective on healing, what you have learned from the research and how this learning can be applied to a health care provider. Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources in addition to the course readings, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines 6th edition. An abstract is required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. NINJA NOTES FROM PROFESSOR:Here is a summary of my basic expectations for the assignment from these two sources: 1. Identify one other religion other than Christianity. Note: For the purposes of this course Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Catholicism, Seventh Day Adventist, Amish, and Greek Orthodox all come under the umbrella of Christianity and, therefore, cannot be used as “a religion other than Christianity”. 2. Using the 7 worldview questions (Ch. 2 in Call to Care), identify the general worldview of both Christianity and your other chosen religion. You will want compare/contrast these two faith worldviews. This can be done in an essay form or a comparative chart. This will satisfy the first rubric content requirement. 3. Next, in an essay format, identify and compare/contrast the religious belief systems of both Christianity and your other chosen religion (E.g., religious founder, salvation, traditions, teaching on spiritual growth/life change, how and where they worship, deities, relationship to fellow man, afterlife/rewards, etc). Best recommended format: identify Christianity’s belief system components first, and then, as you are identifying and discussing the other faith’s belief system components, specifically compare/contrast each one with Christianity...as you go along. This will satisfy the second rubric content requirement. 4. Continue essay by identifying and discussing the spiritual perspective and components of healing and care of both Christianity and your other chosen religion. Then you will compare/contrast these two faiths’ perspectives and components of healing with each other. Best recommended format: identify Christianity’s components/perspectives first, and then, as you are identifying and discussing each of the other faith’s perspectives and components, specifically compare/contrast each one with Christianity...as you go along. This will satisfy the third and fourth rubric content requirements AND the 2 question listed in the syllabus. Note: think of a patient under care in a local hospital. Here is a resourceful link for healing components for diverse faiths: www.pennmedicine.org. In search, type: diversity of faith.

As for the remaining 2 questions in the syllabus, Q1 can be integrated in your discussion of the 2 faiths spiritual perspectives of healing, or it can be briefly summarized at the end of paper. Q3 satisfies the fifth requirement of the rubric. 6. Simply finish out meeting the remaining requirements of the grading rubric. As usual, use the rubric grade columns and cells to determine the measure of quality and depth you want to invest in your paper.
