Ever feel tired and upset and don’t want to be home you feel as everything is caving in. Some things that can help a person contribute and create a healing environment around them? Just as simple as cutting the clutter can make a person feel happy. A dirty home can give a person emotional feelings like sadness and worries even feel helpless. Enhancing and allowing more of the natural light in and bringing more of nature into the home things like plants can bring a healing environment into a home (How You Can Create a Healing Environment at Home, 2016). A healing hospital will describe the components of a healing environment and the relationship among those in the integrated corporeal setting, a culture of fundamental love and caring attitude, and technology. These three components play an important factor and continue to contribute to the healing hospital setting, although challenges and barriers are encountered along the way. Components in a Healing Hospital The components of a healing environment and the relationship among those in the integrated corporeal setting, a culture of fundamental love and caring attitude, and technical advancement. A corporal setting in a healing hospital will allow any patient to be able to rest and start his or her healing process faster without any noises that would affect the patient to a fast recovery. To be able to provide a silent setting for the patient the team must agree on a time frame that will benefit the patients and still be able to provide a good quality of care and less stress to them. Additionally, developing a more loving caring atmosphere will benefit not just the patients but the staff, this will allow the staff to be more considerate and loving towards the patient (Detrempe, 2017). After all, all health care system is there pursuing to provide a good quality of care and physical well-being of the patient since the moment the patient arrives at the facility to the way they help the patient when they check-in and to the way the medical assistant takes vitals.

spiritual and emotional. Technology Advancement equipment allows being able to provide a better health care service but to expedite the process and the results. Allowing the doctors to faster access their test result to be able to provide and expedite decision-making and treatment that benefits the patient (Eberst, 2008). A good healing hospital offers highly technical advancements but can provide a good caring environment and compassionate staff. Challenges in Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional As mention above, providing an optimal healing environment in the light of barriers and complexities of the hospital environment comes with many challenges for nurses. As a nurse, the nurse must nourish her spirit to be able to provide loving, caring, and compassion to the patients. How can one nourish their spirit? In John 4:34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” The lord speaks of the spiritual nourishment of doing his will and bringing his work of salvation to always show the love and mercy God gives them. Physically nurses are overwhelmed with being burn out with not having enough staff in their facility. This can affect the way they provide spiritual services to patients with the care they deserve. The nurses also need a healing process to not feel burn out. Nurses can emotionally create a healing environment for themselves and their co-workers. By joining a chaplain or chapel to help their healing environment and get the relief that they need when feeling overwhelmed or stress (Dunn, 2010). Aspects that support the Healing Environment Furthermore, some aspects that support the healing hospital are in Jeremiah 33: 6 “Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security”. A health care member of staff it is the responsibility to maintain the patient's physical and spiritual needs and emotions in control by providing a positive and safe

environment for them. This will help the patient feel at ease and not be nervous or overwhelmed by the circumstance that has put them there. Concepts of the Healing Environment Overall, the concepts of healing environment inform the philosophy of health care and wellness focusing on the nature of the “healing experience; relational experiences are recognized and treated as a central energetic influence in creating a healing environment; nurses and nursing’s unique professional role are understood, valued, and supported as a dimension of the health care organization’s culture; the nurse is recognized within the health care setting as the professional with the potential for the greatest impact in creating a healing environment; nursing practice is theory-based with a professional focus on designing client-centered care that facilitates healing; the organizational culture supports balancing individualization of healing experiences with standardization of the best curative practices; a healing philosophy is embedded in the professional culture and organizational core values” (Waters, 2008, para. 4). Conclusion A corporal setting in a healing hospital will allow any patient to be able to rest and start his or her healing process faster without any noises that would affect the patient to a fast recovery. As a nurse, the nurse must nourish her spirit to be able to provide loving, caring, and compassion to the patients.
