Abstract

Rural Appalachian older adults (RAOAs) constitute a vulnerable population and experience significant health disparities. The combination of age, poverty, rural residence, health care provider shortages, and limited transportation increases risks for poor health outcomes. Spirituality enhances older adult health; however, little is known about spirituality–health linkages of RAOAs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to discover the influences of spirituality on RAOA health. Culture Care Theory and ethnonursing method guided analysis of 32 RAOA interviews in community settings in East Tennessee. “Faith” is an integral component of RAOA culture and health. Three themes were extrapolated: (a) Relationship with God is personal; (b) faith beliefs and practices influence health, illness, death, and dying; and [the need to] (c) “Open the door” for spiritual care. Faith assessment and spiritual care recommendations contribute to culturally congruent care for RAOAs and may be transferable to care for other older adults.

信仰对阿巴拉契亚农村老年人健康的影响：民族护理研究

农村地区的阿巴拉契亚老年人构成弱势群体，面临着巨大的健康差距。年龄、贫困、农村居住、卫生保健提供者短缺和有限的交通等综合因素增加了出现不良健康结果的风险。精神促进老年人健康;然而，人们对raoa的精神与健康之间的联系知之甚少。因此，本研究的目的是为了发现灵性对RAOA健康的影响。文化关怀理论和民族护理方法对田纳西州东部社区32例RAOA访谈的指导分析。“信仰”是RAOA文化和健康的重要组成部分。推断出三个主题:(a)与上帝的关系是个人的;(b)信仰和习俗影响健康、疾病、死亡和临终;(c)为精神关怀“打开门”。信仰评估和精神护理建议有助于文化上一致的护理老年人，并可转移到照顾其他老年人。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
