This course is underpinned by the philosophical basis of spirituality and of the relationship of the cultural and spiritual perspectives of health and ill-health in the Fijian society.Spiritual and cultural understandings of health form the basis for an exploration of cultural, biological, social, economic, enviromental and political interactions and their impacts on Fijian people's health.The course also explores the spiritual aspects of nursing, the nurse and the client and prepares the nurse with the relevant skills to reflect on own spiritualiry in order to meet the spirituality needs of the client.The spiritual worldviews of the Indegenous I Taukei, the Indo- Fijian population and two other major ethnic groups in Fiji are examined in their implications for nurses as care givers and in evaluating health care policiesand services in Fiji and the Pacific.
