Epic Families: Equipping Parents To Reclaim Their Biblical Mandate While Inspiring Children To Know And Love The God Who Made Them, Marybeth Meltzer
Epic Families: Equipping Parents To Reclaim Their Biblical Mandate While Inspiring Children To Know And Love The God Who Made Them, Marybeth Meltzer
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
A review of current literature demonstrates that there is a fundamental problem in the church today: the church has taken on the primary role of discipling children, while many parents have abrogated their biblical mandate as outlined in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. Surveys of parents as well as practical ministry experience confirm that great confusion exists among parents as to the scope of their biblical responsibilities. This project reviews historical perspectives and the present situation in the church and offers guidance to both parents and ministry professionals to help parents reclaim their God-given responsibilities.
The Role Of Faith And Spirituality In The Work Of End-Of-Life Caregivers, Edward P. Stannard
The Role Of Faith And Spirituality In The Work Of End-Of-Life Caregivers, Edward P. Stannard
Master of Arts in Religious Studies (M.A.R.S. Theses)
Nurses, certified nursing assistants and other healthcare workers who care for those who are terminally ill face issues of mortality and even existential questions every day on the job. These professionals, who have intimate contact with their patients daily, must find an inner source of strength and perseverance in order to face people who are at the end of their lives, who may be in pain, and who frequently are alone in their rooms aside from the institution’s staff. This study asks whether an inner sense of religious faith or spirituality helps end-of-life healthcare workers conduct their daily tasks and …

Community And Global Initiative: Faith-Based Palliative Care Initiative, V. Dare Domico, Elaine C. Harris, Linda A. Streit
Biennial Convention (CONV)
Communities of faith are often significantly affected by illness, care giving issues, end of life needs, and grief of their members. Through combined efforts from interdisciplinary health care members and key community constituents, training programs were initiated to assist church leaders in providing non-medical comfort care to people with life-limiting illness or who are near the end of life. The purpose of the two-phase initiative was to test the feasibility of an interdisciplinary university-community service learning project. The project was designed to enhance undergraduate and graduate education with service learning opportunities unavailable in the classroom. The project incorporated interdisciplinary collaboration …

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The purpose of this qualitative pilot study was to describe adult children's perceptions of critical caregiving conversations between themselves and their aging parents; barriers to these conversations; factors that facilitate these conversations; and the support from health care providers that adult children believe would help facilitate critical caregiving conversations between themselves and their aging parents. The overall purpose was to increase understanding of family communication processes that promote health as families age. Focus group interviews using a semi-structured interview guide were conducted with 16 adult children with caregiving experience of their aging parents. Data analysis was conducted utilizing Leininger's phases …
Spiritual Support As Coping Among Alzheimer's Caregivers, Mary Katherine Schillings
Spiritual Support As Coping Among Alzheimer's Caregivers, Mary Katherine Schillings
LSU Master's Theses
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of spiritual support on Alzheimer’s caregiver’s perceived burden. This study will examine the relationship between spiritual support and burden among Alzheimer’s caregivers. The collection of data was accomplished by a packet of surveys mailed to Alzheimer’s caregivers. For this study the population is separated and difficult to survey as a whole, therefore, a smaller cluster sample is surveyed from a specific organization. The global score of the burden measure is negatively correlated with the global score of the Spiritual Support Scale. In this study, spiritual support is not the sole …
