The Relationship Between Spirit and Life
Spirituality is part of lived experience, according to Craigie (2010). Life and spirit are inseperable; “people can’t not have a spiritual dimension to life,” (Craigie, 2010, p. 48). Therefore, spirit and life are entwined inextricably. Even atheists and those who deny the relevance of spirit or spirituality have this dimension as integral parts of their being; each person experiences and expressed their relationship with spirit in different ways.
How is Spirituality Defined?
Spirituality is defined different ways for different people; healthcare workers should never be afraid to discuss matters of the spirit within a humanistic framework. Craigie (2010) defines spirituality as inherently inclusive, as a universal element and dimension of the human experience.
What are the Components of the CAMPS Framework?
The CAMPS framework encompasses five dimensions of spirituality, including Community, Activity, Meaning, Passion, and Spirit. Together these dimensions help individuals achieve wholeness and healing, which is why it is important to acknowledge each of these dimensions and how they relate to one another.
Thoughts and Experiences Related to CAMPS
As Craigie (2010) points out, it is no coincidence that the CAMPS framework is an acronym evoking the peace and wonder of nature and communion with God. The CAMPS framework is helpful for understanding how each person perceives the spiritual dimension of their lives differently, depending on variables like community, background, and belief system. A person’s interests, passions, and lifestyle must also be taken into consideration when approaching healthcare from a holistic perspective. I appreciate the way the author presents these multiple dimensions of spirituality and shows why healthcare workers can see their patients—and their own role as nurses—in a new light.
The Why of Suffering
All healthcare workers address suffering, and need to help patients to contextualize and process suffering on multiple dimensions. Genuine suffering is not just about physical pain but about a lack of alignment between the self and what really matters. Suffering is an opportunity for people to reconsider their lives, their sense of purpose, and to find their “vital center,” (Craigie, 2010, p. 48).

Health Care & Faith Diversity It is quite obvious how different religions hold different philosophical views on various aspects and even when it comes to healing.

PTSD & SPIRITUALITY PTSD/Spirituality Health care and spirituality have long been linked and involved with each other. This involvement and linkage goes far beyond the stereotypical "faith healers" that have become the butt of many jokes. Indeed, faith is used by many to get through struggles and challenges of many kinds. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is no different in this regard. While medication and therapy are the more commonly cited ways to
