I'm Dr. Susan Elliott, a retired family and women's health nurse practitioner and professor with Global experience. Majority of my nursing care outside the United States has been in multiple African and Central American nations. Globally, we understand humanity to be biological, psychological, social and spiritual persons. During the pandemic, we learned that preexisting health conditions had negative effects in this in all aspects of health promotion, disease and illness prevention, we have consistently ignored the necessity and impact of spiritual wellness versus spiritual disease. Healthcare providers need inclusion of spiritual assessment and intervention skills in their education programs. Chaplains can be helpful, but they're rarely immediate. Global providers need evidencebased, tools and skills for immediate in the moment spiritual care. Such should be required and recorded in the patient's record. Using Christian faith as my exemplar, providers need to know the knowledge and comfort that comes to believers of God through Jesus Christ that their sins are forgiven. There's hope, love, peace, joy, gender equality and equity for all overall in the moment spiritual care.
