Faith Community Nurses Key to Promoting Health in At-Risk Communities: An Integrative Review

ABSTRACT:

An integrative literature review was conducted to identify recommendations to implement culturally congruent and spiritually connected approaches to health promotion in at-risk faith communities. Five themes emerged from an analysis of 48 articles meeting criteria for the review. Review results repeatedly highlighted the impact nurses—more specifically faith community nurses (FCNs)—can have on at-risk population outcomes and bridging the gap between minority communities and the healthcare establishment. Five recommended action steps provide program guidance to FCNs for promoting faith-based health in at-risk minority communities.
