By promoting equality and supporting diversity you reduce the likelihood of discrimination and to respect the differences. Unfortunately, these practices will not change people’s attitude towards discrimination but it certainly pushes organizations into the right direction.…
Compassion is an essential attribute that nurses must posses in order to provide appropriate care to the patients and families they come in contact with. Nurses work many long shifts taking care of sick patients and grieving families, and may not take the time to care for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs properly. After a while, the long hours and stress may catch up with them and cause compassion fatigue or even burnout. Nurses must learn to care for themselves first and foremost in order to be healthy, happy and spiritually sound, and this in turns allows them to provide great care to their…

Throughout the paper called People like Us by David Brooks he addresses the fact the United Sates does not have diversity. Brook states the fact that most Americans tend to live, be friends and fall in love with people who are similar to each other in many way including education, income and interests. However, Americans tend to promote diversity even though most Americans do not leave their comfort zone to make new relationships with people with different views. Brooke states “People want to be around others who are roughly like themselves”(Brooke, line 3). Americans tend to like being with people similar to themselves even while promoting…
It is important to understand our diverse America because in order for people to commit on working in diversity, everyone needs to feel they are important. Each person needs to feel welcome and know that their culture is not just important to them but others. It's important to become allies with those who get discriminated against. Blaming and shaming people will not make America diverse. The encouragement of diversity benefits our society. Diversity is any unique difference between people. It includes our religious beliefs and physical appearance. Understanding our diverse America is something everyone should be aware of because it's what makes us, us.…

Compassion is one of the fundamental characteristics implemented into patient care by health care providers. Compassion signifies “a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering” (Compassion, n.d.). Nurses and other health care providers provide selfless service, tireless dedication, compassion, and often neglect their personal needs, which makes them susceptible to experience an emotional problem called compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue has been described as a state experienced by those helping people in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can be traumatizing for the helper” (). Compassion fatigue results in the health care provider becoming compassionately numb.…
Definitions of compassion in nursing care: Compassion is a force that “impels and empowers people to not only acknowledge, but also act” (Schantz, 2007 in Nursing Forum). This definition builds off of the general definition provided by Miriam Webster, and it strengthens the link between acknowledgements of…
Thinking About Diversity and InclusionWhat are the dimensions of cultural diversity? Identify and briefly explain the dimensions by referenced both textbooks. There are many different dimensions of cultural diversity around the world. Some of these dimensions include racial groups, ethnic groups, religious groups, gender groups, and age (Schaefer, 2011). Racial groups can be defined as a group that is set apart by obvious physical differences. Ethnic groups can be set apart with culture patterns or nationality.…
Diversity has it’s advantages and disadvantages. But when it’s in the health and social contexts it’s very beneficial, to both service user and staff. By having a more culturally diverse and different array of service users it challenges the staff and prompts them to expand their knowledge about their patients and also their differences. Staff will have to really lean about their patients, their religion if they follow one, their medical problems and background and much more.…
One blind spot I think I had at the start of the semester was the idea about disability. When you mention disability, I can honestly say that I always thought of the physical forms of disability. So when it came to helping accommodate for disabilities I would naturally think of things like wheelchair ramps or special seating in the offices. I never considered the fact that “invisible” disabilities were present in the workplace. Now when you say disability I think of not only the physical but also the mental and learning disabilities that can affect people within the workplace.…
Compassion is about providing intelligent care which exhibits empathy, kindness, trust, respect and dignity, but moreover, it is how the patient feels about the care they receive (Cummings and Bennett 2012). To provide compassionate care requires a personal obligation to recognise the suffering of another person and to actively commit to alleviate that pain (Straughair, 2012). The nurse has a duty to provide care and promote health and wellbeing of the patient, therefore, in moments of suffering it is important to provide compassion (Cingel 2009). Nurses and midwives are bound by the NMC Code (2010) to treat patients as individuals with kindness, consideration and dignity in a non-discriminatory way.…
