2 Part 1. Influence of Conception of Spirituality Because I do not relate spirituality with a particular theological position, my perspective implies how I think about spirituality is comparable to that of pantheism. My connection to the spiritual world is strongest when I am outdoors, basking in nature and enjoying in the sense that I am a part of it. My current situation and the random daily occurrences are much too similar to be explained by coincidental alone. While this is not a particular religion that makes me feel comfortable inside a religious organization or structured practice, it nonetheless helps me feel better and serves me enough. Therefore, this concept of spirituality often stands in contrast to what my patients believe about it. Regarding my job as a nurse, it does not matter what religion my patients practice as long as they can find comfort in their beliefs during the most difficult period of their life. According to Registered Nursing, every religion has its own unique set of beliefs and traditions, and they may impact the patient and the relationship between the nurse and the patient (Badanta et al., 2023). Patients do not expect that I would preach to them about my religious beliefs since that is not why I became a nurse. As a nurse, I can go into every communication with an open mind and be ready to question my patients directly about their religious and spiritual needs and how we can best address them while providing them with medical care (Green et al., 2020). In general, I believe the most helpful response I can make is that my religion is different from that of a great number of other people influences the quality of nursing care I provide because it compels me to be open to the religious perspectives of my patients.

3 Part 2 Analysis of Disease and Healing Reading about other worldviews intrigued me, but the topic that interested me was human nature and ethics. Atheists contend that the emergence of humans was a random result of evolution. The Christian worldview holds that every person was created with a specific purpose in mind and the image of God. The study of metaethics investigates questions such as whether or not good and evil exist, whether or not we can know them, and whether or not objective morality exists. According to atheists, because there is no creator and nothing beyond the earth, it is up to each individual to choose what they believe to be right and wrong (Restivo, 2023). They believe that the evolution of humanity throughout history is the source of morality. Christians believe that God, the ultimate source of justice and mercy, created the universe and made right and wrong a physical part of the reality we experience. The ethical standards that direct God's creation dictate how humans conduct themselves in that environment. To eliminate an illness, I believe it is necessary to treat the patient. Both the body and the mind are considered to be parts of one's self. Christians believe that because Adam and Eve sinned, people are more likely to grow ill, age, and eventually pass away (Westerfield, 2023). The crucifixion of Jesus was the payment that God required for our sins, and his resurrection guarantees that we shall have an eternity with him. Besides, christians look to God to help them comprehend what is wrong with their bodies and minds and comfort them from their suffering. As medical employees, we are responsible for treating patients compassionately and showing concern for their physical and emotional well-being. People who can get spiritual care and counselling in times of illness are likelier to have feelings of serenity, comfort, and fulfilment.

4 Part 3 Worldview Analysis and Personal Inventory What is ultimate reality? In reality, the greatest, most significant, and most fundamental power is the ultimate reality. In Judaism and Christianity, a person's relationship with God is important ( Chistyakova, 2019). He is the origin of everything and the primary impetus for the existence of everything else. The reality is that only one God created the world and is responsible for everything that happens in it. For individuals to connect with God, God gave them His word, instructing them on how to behave while still on earth. People can differentiate between good and evil using this phrase and comprehend most events in the world. Some unexplained wonders are attributed to God, who has the power to create or destroy life and is the origin of all knowledge. Even though He is omnipotent and in control of everything, God is a loving being who honors the free will of every individual on earth because of His love for them. This does not imply, however, that God endorses evil acts since, at the end of the world, everyone will go to heaven or hell based on their decisions while on earth. What is the nature of the universe? According to the teachings of Christianity, God created a perfect world when he first formed it. They believe it is right to handle their lives according to God's will and design since God created them in his image. This requires them to look after the planet and their own lives and bodies. Because God wanted humankind and all other forms of life to be able to exist in his creation, he built the universe. Because of God's generosity, we have access to water, which allows us to cultivate new plants to replace the ones we have lost. Since the world has not been

5 altered by anybody else since it was created, we may assume that God constructed it in its current state intentionally. Additionally, no one can transform the universe as realistically as God. He bestowed humankind the ability to exercise dominion over the whole planet (Dancer, 2021). The first human being in the Garden of Eden is responsible for committing the first sin. This resulted in great misfortune, not part of God's original purpose. What is a human being? People are portrayed in the Bible as self-aware, autonomous, and creative creatures responsible for running the world under God's direction; they are human beings created to resemble God. Human beings have a special place in God's view since he created them in his image and gave them authority over everything else. Humans are more important than other species living on earth, bringing them closer to God. The human body was designed to do every function required to keep a person alive, as it was intended to be when people were created. However, the first sin that was committed by humankind in the Garden of Eden severed the perfect connection that individuals had with God before the wrongdoing. This resulted in the negative things that continue to occur to people all around the earth today, such as the spread of diseases. What is knowledge? Knowledge is the ability to grasp something due to experience or a connection. It is the capacity to understand anything about science, art, or practice or to know something about that. Knowledgeable people can comprehend information about the world and form reasonable opinions. Because God is the origin of all knowledge, he has endowed humans with the capacity to comprehend most occurrences in the physical universe using his written word and their access

6 to spiritual insight (Dewey, 2023). On the other side, Christians believe that God controls everything that is going on in the world. Because of this, certain complex things on earth are difficult to describe, demonstrating that humans do not have the same understanding as God, given that these things are considered a part of God. What is your basis of ethics? My ethics is founded on faith, a quality God bestows upon every one of us. It influences how individuals see and respond to the world, supports activities such as attending church and praying, and establishes social bonds among participants. Because the Christian religion is founded on faith and spirituality, it is not an effective means of deciding right or wrong, particularly regarding scientific applications. This concept should serve as the cornerstone for all ethical frameworks in which individuals put their beliefs to work to achieve their goals. Since the dawn of Abrahamic religions and Greek thinking, there has been a connection between morality and religion (Ibrahim, 2021). Faith brings all of the blessings of forgiveness, including health, money, serenity, love, and pleasure, and the degree to which we have faith determines the degree to which we have confidence. What is the purpose of your existence? My purpose in this life is to live quietly while serving God. My mission is to help others and make this world a better place by eliminating the suffering caused by illness and improving the quality of life of those afflicted. God created me so that I may connect with him and carry out the instructions he gave me. However, the first human did not pay attention to God and disobeyed his instructions, which resulted in consequences that are being felt today. Nevertheless, God has a strategy to save people from the consequences of their crimes and the

7 calamities that befall them. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance to obey the laws laid forth by God and demonstrate his love to every person on earth.
