“…This study showed that military nurses have unique experiences that influenced their way of promoting health and healing. Findings from this study provided a beginning to understanding of the effect deployment experiences have on the interconnectedness between psychological, social, and spiritual health of active duty members, which was lacking as noted by Lacks et al (2017). Interconnectedness with the family had many positive and negative factors.…”

“…A systematic review conducted by Lacks, Lamson, Rappleyea, Russoniello, and Littleton (2017) explored the existing research on the biopsychosocial-spiritual health factors associated with military service in active duty women. Findings revealed that there are more data on the biological health compared with the data on psychological and social health, demonstrating the interconnectedness between biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health of active duty women (Lacks et al, 2017). There is a paucity in the nursing literature exploring health promotion and healing from the military nurse perspective.…”

This study showed that military nurses have unique experiences that influenced their way of promoting health and healing. Interconnectedness with family (personal and military) had many positive and negative factors. Interconnectedness with the health care team was more prominent for the nurses during military service than in the civilian arena. Global interconnectedness included working with teams from around the world, helping children of detainees see that Americans were not evil, and caring for international communities. Military service strengthened the three human qualities of mind, body, and spirit, which resulted in increasing each military nurse's human potential by enabling them to serve as instruments of healing on a global scale.

“…The BPSSM acts as a guide in exploring the diverse factors which contribute to patients' pain experience and resolution of pain. (Lacks, Lamson, Rappleyea, Russoniello, & Littleton, 2017). Once nurses understand the patients spiritual or religious needs, the nurse can develop a unique patient centered plan of care based on the BPSSM.…”

Factors Influencing Patients’ Experiences of Pain Management in the Emergency Department

et al. 2019

Background Despite management of acute pain, concerns regarding pain are still prevalent in the emergency department (ED). Purpose This study aimed to explore the factors influencing patients’ pain management in a Jordanian ED. Method Fifteen semistructured interviews (N = 15) with purposively selected patients in the ED. Results The thematic analysis uncovered two related themes. The first theme described the stage of “being on ED bed” which encapsulates two subthemes: “bad pain means, bad diagnosis” and “smiley faces versus grumpy faces.” The second theme referred to as “being discharged” including two subthemes, namely, “praying for not paying” and “being grateful to God.” The lack of money to pay for pain management was equally as stressful as pain itself. Patients’ narratives suggest that nursing pain management is a critical time, extending beyond medical management to encompass communication and spirituality. Conclusions The factors influencing the patients’ experience of pain management extend beyond addressing the source of the pain. Consequently, effective communication coupled with respecting patients’ spirituality and socioeconomic concerns is essential to pain management. To enhance patients’ experience of pain management, the ED system should shift toward a patient-centric model.

“…The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. [ 1 2 ] These aspects influence one another dynamically and interactively, and individual health depends on providing and paying attention to all aspects of the human identity. [ 3 ] Spirituality is a dimension of human beings that shows human's relationship with the unseen world and intuition.…”
