Summary
This study explores faith as a health resource within Aaron Antonovsky's salutogenic model. It highlights the need for nursing education on faith to promote patient well-being.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Health Promotion
- Psychology
Background:
- Aaron Antonovsky's salutogenic model emphasizes generalized resistance resources (GRRs) that promote health.
- Faith is explored as a potential GRR influencing individual health outcomes.
- The role of faith in clinical practice, particularly in nursing, requires further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze faith as a Generalized Resistance Resource (GRR) based on Antonovsky's salutogenic model.
- To examine the relevance of faith as a GRR in clinical nursing practice.
- To underscore the necessity of educational preparation for nurses regarding faith and health.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of faith as a GRR within the salutogenic framework.
- Literature review on the intersection of faith, health, and nursing.
- Discussion of implications for nursing education and practice.
Main Results:
- Faith can be conceptualized as a significant GRR, contributing to health.
- Integrating faith into nursing practice holds potential for health promotion.
- Current nursing education may lack sufficient focus on the role of faith in health.
Conclusions:
- Faith serves as a valuable Generalized Resistance Resource (GRR) for health.
- Nurses require specialized education to effectively promote faith for health benefits.
- Educational curricula should incorporate the salutogenic model and the role of faith in nursing.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
