This article reveals processes that support theoretical development for holistic nursing in the context of a faith community. The emerging processes enhance the articulation of the holistically focused practice, add clarity to faith community nursing activities and outcomes, and contribute to theoretical clarification and development. Theoretical clarity is essential to guide faith community nursing practice, research, and education because there is tremendous potential for the specialty practice to contribute to the health of a community across the continuum of caring and because to date there has been no unifying model for this practice proposed. A lack of a theoretical basis can result in disparate and disconnected approaches to studying, testing, and promoting the practice.
本文揭示了在信仰社区背景下支持整体护理理论发展的过程。这些新出现的过程增强了对整体护理实践的阐述，使信仰社区护理活动及成果更加清晰，并有助于理论的澄清与发展。理论清晰对于指导信仰社区护理实践、研究和教育至关重要，因为这种专业实践在整个护理连续过程中对社区健康具有巨大贡献潜力，而且迄今为止尚未提出针对这种实践的统一模式。缺乏理论基础可能导致在研究、测试和推广该实践时采用不同且不连贯的方法。
