Nursing within a Faith Community

Nursing Within a Faith Community expands upon the literature in the field of parish nursing and broadens the concepts of "parish" and "parish nursing" to those of "faith community" and "faith community nursing" to include the rich diversity of faith traditions. Authors Margaret B. Clark and Joanne J. Olson provide a unique outlook on the theoretical underpinnings for faith community nursing from the perspectives of both theology and nursing.

Divided into seven sections, the book includes topics such as the theoretical foundations of parish nursing, promoting health in times of transition, the process of nursing care within a faith community, faith communities promoting images of health, and the future of parish nursing
