Topic 1 DQ 1

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?

As being a Sikh woman, I have been raised in a religious family. I believe in God and prayers. I believe that God always listen to the prayers, and is always with me to protect me. As a Sikh woman, Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy book, is our God. Guru Granth sahib teaches us to love everyone and pray for everyone. Since spirituality teaches us to be patience, respectful, hard-worker, and that’s why spiritual people tend to live longer. “Some observational studies that people who have regular spiritual practices tend to live longer” (Puchalski, 2001). I believe that being spiritual teaches me to care for my patients with patience and compassion. I listen to spiritual songs called Shabad Kirtan, and pray for five minutes before going to work. At work, I treat all my patients with love and equal, since my religion teaches me to treat everyone with respect and equality.

Topic 1 DQ 2

What aspects of the topic readings do you find the most interesting? What is your view of the analysis of disease and healing in the readings? Explain.

Re: Topic 1 DQ 2
The topic of worldview altogether was very interesting to me, as there are many people who question God and if there is a heaven,etc. Where I live there are many different churches to attend and be a part of with different religions and beliefs. However, after growing up in a southern Baptist church my entire life, I have became a member of a non-denominational church that has views of southern Baptist but with contemporary aspects and praise/worship music. We all grow to have some worldview in our upbringing, but may sway or change our belief once becoming older as adults. It is important to me to always incorporate Christ and Christian beliefs in our home with our children. We follow the commands of the Bible and try to lead a Christian lifestyle to me more like Jesus. In doing so, having faith and prayer is also a factor in healing in disease. I strongly believe in the power of prayer in healing as in the Bible, Jesus healed many times. I believe there is nothing beyond his power to heal. “It is important to understand that many of the foundational beliefs that the fields of medicine and health care take for granted (such as the intrinsic dignity and value of all human beings, regardless of race, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, etc.) are deeply held Christian values that come from the Christian worldview and have shaped the practice of medicine for almost 2,000 years” (Grand Canyon University, (2019).
