International Federal (2019) defines disaster as a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of a community or society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses that exceed the community’s or society’s ability to cope using its own resources. Disasters, whether natural or manmade, can take a significant toll on an individual or community, causing short and long-term distress (Falkner, 2018). Spiritual considerations surrounding a disaster is different for individuals and communities, because of their unique beliefs. Different cultures may respond differently to disasters, whether it is by praying, crying, doubting God, thinking that they are being punished by God, etc. If a disaster were a terrorist attack (manmade), people of different cultures may hold grudges and hate towards a certain ethnic group.

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, basic needs must be met before psychological and self-fulfillment needs. For a nurse to assist with spiritual care, he or she must have the patient in safety and make sure that they had water, food, warmth, shelter, rest, and security. Correct me if I’m wrong, but we most likely would not assess a patient about spiritual needs if they are panicking and are in the middle of receiving medical care.

Spiritual considerations can arise surrounding any natural disaster by those who are impacted. Many problems that can arise during natural disasters would be destruction of homes, churches, religious centers, and sacred landmarks. Many cultures and religions hold special sentiments towards certain structures and the destruction of these could cause great loss and may affect the spirituality of individuals in a community. Disasters cause death in the hundreds or thousands and will cause devastation for many people who then may require spiritual support to help them cope with the loses.

A community health nurse can assist in the spiritual care of the individual, community, self, and colleagues in many ways. First, nurses should take care of themselves and be aware of their own emotional health before they could help others. Nurses must be aware of cultural differences and adjust their care according to their beliefs. Nurses are also expected to create a healing environment for the physical and spiritual self, which respects human dignity (Minority Nurse, 2013). Advocation can take place when a nurse finds a chaplain to provide psychological and spiritual support. Simple interventions, such as holding an individual’s hand and providing empathy and silence can be beneficial for one and provide reassurance. Taking the time to pray with individuals of a community can also provide support.

Isaac has worked as a staff nurse on the telemetry floor for over 15 years. He holds seniority in the unit. His patient care is satisfactory; however, his interpersonal behaviors are becoming an increasing issue for his coworkers. He throws papers around the unit, gives short answers to questions, and seems generally miserable. He tells the staff that they are lazy and stupid. He is constantly questioning their decisions. You have come from another local hospital in the role of the assistant nurse manager. Based on your observations, you have met with Isaac informally and discussed his behaviors, but they have not changed. Now three new nurses have already come to you saying that this unit is a great match for them, except for one problem. Although they have not identified Isaac by name, they have told you that one of the nurses is extremely abusive verbally, and they have been calling in sick on the days they are scheduled to work with this person. 

1. What are your responsibilities as an assistant nurse manager in regard to Isaac’s behavior problem?

2. What is the next step in dealing with Isaac’s behaviors? 

3. How will you, as the manager, have Isaac develop more effective people skills?

This is your first position as a nurse manager. The holidays are rapidly approaching, and the hospital policy states that each unit will negotiate holiday coverage individually. You are already getting requests via e-mail and on Post-it notes for holiday time. Several staff members have come to you stating that they “never” seem to get their requests for holidays. Discussion among the staff members is creating dissension and conflict.

1. Discuss the potential impact of this problem on you and the unit staff. 

2. Describe a minimum of one positive consequence and one negative consequence of this conflict.

3. Select a model of conflict resolution and explain how you, as a nurse manager, might resolve this conflict.
