Michele, thank you for sharing your perspective on the “Welcome to MSN-leadership in Healthcare Systems,” your discussion made me realize how close we are to completing the program. I was also told that the MSN would not be worth it since I am already employed in a leadership position. Scully (2015), suggest that aligning personal characteristics with virtues of leadership are ideal in the development of leadership, and discourage those with negative leadership traits from being appointed into leadership positions. The stance by Scully (2015), to discourage negative leaders from pursuing leadership positions in nursing sounds non-inclusive however the stance maybe the defining line in the cultural shift of nursing leadership. Too often I have seen senior nurses eat their young and for me that is discouraging and at a detriment to the nursing profession. I also subscribe to the idea of being able to provide for my population that I serve by applying my experience and this program to my practice.

What would spirituality be according to your own worldview? How do you believe that your conception of spirituality would influence the way in which you care for patients?

Spirituality is a broad concept with different perspectives from diverse people. Spirituality is important in human life, as it is considered both a motivating and harmonizing force. Further, spirituality is a difficult and multidimensional part of individuals’ life as an inner belief system. According to Polat and Ozdemir (2022), spirituality is an aspect of humanity that includes how people seek and express their meaning and purpose, and the way individuals experience connectedness to self, the moment, nature, others, and the sacred. Further, spirituality can be described as a set of beliefs that bring liveliness and meaning to the actions of life (Dewi & Hamzah, 2019). This indicates that spirituality is a significant dimension of people’s quality of life. Following the various descriptions of spirituality, spirituality can be described as seeking and expressing a meaningful connection with something greater than oneself, and a purpose of one’s existence to experience inner peace, love, hope, support, and comfort.

As nurses strive to provide holistic care to patients, spirituality influences nurses to address the spiritual needs of the patients. With spirituality being a key component in health and healing, spirituality influences nurses to lessen patients’ anxieties, provide hope, and empower patients to achieve inner peace by providing appropriate coping mechanisms and counseling during stressful situations. Nurses apply spiritual care to address patients’ needs of the spirit when they experience disease, fears, concerns, and sorrow (Polat & Ozdemir, 2022). Further spirituality influences nurses to provide therapeutic approaches that are based on compassionate relationships (Polat & Ozdemir, 2022). Spirituality allows nurses to care for the human spirit by developing caring and safe relationships and interconnectedness with patients to support spiritual well-being and health. Thus, spirituality is essential in nursing care.
