For example, health levels of elderly church parishioners may improve because parish nurses improve positive health practices, help prevent injury and illness and help parishioners in suffering (Swinney, Anson-Wonkka, Maki and Corneau, 2001). The two models of parish nursing involve the institutional model and the congregational model (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2014). In the congregational model, the nurse is accountable to both the members of the parish and its board of directors, while in the institutional model, the parish nurse contracts and partners with medical centers , hospitals, educational institutions or long-term care facilities (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2014). However, with the integration of the term faith-based community nurse by the HMA and ANA, my plan is to develop a faith-based community nurse model of care. The faith-based community nursing model involves the integration of the faith-based community nurse with the church and surrounding community to promote health and well-being through health care education and self-management of disease, using the acronym FAITH.
