Challenges of Faith Community Nursing in a Midwestern Healthcare System
Abstract:
Faith community nurses are positioned to play a vital role in addressing whole person health in multiple settings. A steady decline of nurses completing faith community nurse (FCN) training in a midwestern healthcare system sparked the system's hospital leadership to re-evaluate the FCN training and outreach program. To inform future education programs, an online needs assessment survey was deployed to FCNs. Focus groups were used to understand the FCNs' experiences in their role. The findings highlight a need for comprehensive educational programs, support networks, and funding mechanisms to support faith community nursing practice.
