Project (Cultural/Faith leader interview and PowerPoint)
NURS 488: Cultural/Faith Leader Project
Part One: Faith Leader Individual Interview (20 points)
1. Select a culture or faith community that is not your own.
2. Seek out a leader in this community. Resource can include
contacts from your fellow students.
3. Arrange a time and place to conduct the interview. You may want to offer to send a list of
questions that you may be asking. REMEMBER, this is not to be a conflict
situation. You are there to learn what
the teachings are for that particular culture or faith.
4. Subjects of
conversation should include autonomy, how decisions are made, and what support
is offered for members of that tradition. Glean information on how participants
of that tradition view various aspects of decision making in health care.
5. Inquire if you may have permission to include their name
and title in the presentation or remain anonymous. If they are a leader, they
probably are glad to have their name known and also contact information if
anyone is interested or has more questions about their community, beliefs and
traditions.
6. Be sure to thank them – a handwritten note or an email is
always appreciated.
