are you most likely to use in your practice? why?
In my practice of spiritual assessment I am most likely to use the FICA model, which has questions relating to the areas of assessment and helps in evaluation of the spiritual needs and support of the client. The following are the FICA questions that can help in spiritual assessment:
i. Faith and beliefs - What faith do you belong to? What are your spiritual beliefs and are you a spiritual person?
ii. Influence and
importance - Is the spirituality important to you?
Has your faith been affected in your illness?
iii. Community
- Do you take the help of the community center to
deal with the spiritual help? Is there a spiritual person of the
community that guides you n difficult times?
iv. Address
- How can I help you as spiritual and other help?
What support can healthcare be in your spiritual journey and help
in treatment methods?
