Christian Worldview of Work and Direct Practice Improvement Project

The Christian worldview about work support approaches to the DPI project. For example, based on the teaching from Colossians 3:23-24 that we should not consider or anticipate worldly rewards for work; we should endeavor to improve the health outcomes of the patients we serve without anticipating worldly rewards. For example, through the proposed project, I will aim to improve access to healthcare through a screening program without expecting financial rewards from the patients or the administration at the facility. Also, we should show commitment and devotion in all efforts that would improve the health outcomes of patients through the implementation of appropriate interventions in DPI projects. Utilizing evidence-based in decision-making, protecting patient’s rights and safety, and willingness of work on quality improvement initiatives are among professional behavior that nurses should demonstrate to foster Christian worldview improving patients’ health (Tomas et al., 2021).

Conclusion

Nurses can work both within and outside the health care system to improve the health outcomes of patients by integrating their Christian worldview of love and caring for others. It is both a professional duty and a Christian calling for nurses to strive to improve equitable health care for patients. The Bible’s perspective about work is that it should be the individual’s responsibility, and the source of livelihood ought to be legal and ethical. Also, people should be compensated based on their efforts to ensure fairness. Christians should consider work as serving God, not humans, and they should not anticipate worldly rewards. In the proposed project, I will integrate a Christian worldview by endeavoring to improve patients’ health outcomes without expecting financial rewards from patients at the health care facility.
