TOPIC #2
SPIRITUAL ASSESSMENT SCALE
Instructions: Please check the response category which best identifies your personal belief about the item
(response categories: SA-Strongly Agree; A-Agree; U-Uncertain; D-Disagree; SD-Strongly Disagree).
A. Personal Faith
My sources of hope are my family and friends.
They are the one who provides me comfort
especially during my difficult times.
I am a Roman Catholic. We celebrate
sacraments such as baptism, confirmation,
reconciliation and many more. The gifts of
the Holy Spirit such as joy, peace, kindness,
and gentleness are then nourished and can be
manifested in our lives.
I have no separate spiritual beliefs separate
from my organized religion, because that is
where I grew up and the beliefs that mold me
on who I am today. Every spiritual practices
are helpful to me and my family.
There are no conflicts. I do not hold beliefs
and practices that may affect my care. Being a
student nurse, you have to be aware of your
biases and set aside my beliefs especially
when providing care to other patients.
In my religion and family, we don’t consult a
spiritual leader in making decisions about our
healthcare. Instead, there is a practice that is
common in our religion which is anointing of
the sick. This is a ritual of healing appropriate
not only for those in immediate danger of
death but also for those suffering from
physical, mental, or spiritual sickness.

D. Reflective Essays: To make the learning more personal, have students write a reflective essay. A
reflective essay should require the student to connect their personal experience to course content on
their own Spiritual Assessment. 10pts.

Religion is ingrained in culture in the same way that politics, economics, or education. These are all facets of group life.
any one of these are institutions that run parallel. It is acknowledged that religion is an institutionalized means of
communication with God or gods, resulting in salvation in either perhaps a different existence. Religions are cultural
frameworks for addressingWhatever the definition of the ultimate reality, it exists. My personal life is very subordinate to
my spirituality. First and foremost, my spirituality aids in guiding what is good and wrong in my life. I think a lot of the daily
choices I make are directly influenced by my spirituality. For as long as I can remember, I have been taught to live my life
in accordance with what I feel God would want. Therefore, I always have to think about what is right when I have to make
a decision. What is wrong, then? Second, it gives me more peace of mind regarding what will happen to my spirit after
my time on earth is ended. After we depart from this world, I think our spirits will be in a better place. For me, spirituality
merely expresses what is in our hearts because they are the mirrors of our every activity. Because not everything that
comes out of our mouths is a representation of what we believe in, it is not only what we say. It's also not about religion
since our expression of spirituality is what matters, not our affiliation with a particular religion or the name or appearance
of the deity we worship.
