What do Religious Nonmedical Practitioners do?
Religious Nonmedical Practitioners work in Religious Nonmedical Health Care Institutions (RNHCIs) to provide spiritual care and nonmedical support for individuals who rely solely on faith and religious beliefs for healing.
They offer practices such as prayer, meditation, spiritual counseling, and community support, but do not provide medical treatment or diagnosis, or administer drugs, as the institution’s religious tenets prohibit this.
Provide spiritual support: Practitioners offer spiritual healing through prayer and adherence to the RNHCI’s relevant religious teachings.
Offer nonmedical care: They assist patients with their physical needs by focusing on comfort, spiritual practices, and community involvement.
Adhere to religious tenets: Their work is strictly guided by religious beliefs that prohibit medical intervention.
Facilitate holistic healing: RNHCIs emphasize the importance of faith, spirituality, and community in the overall healing process.
What they do
No medical services: RNHCIs are prohibited from providing any medical items or services.
Sole reliance on faith: Patients in RNHCIs choose to rely exclusively on religious methods of healing.
Holistic approach: The focus is on spiritual, communal, and non-medical support to foster healing.
Trained personnel: Practitioners are trained in the religious principles and nonmedical care methods of their institution.
Examples
Christian Science practitioners and nurses employ prayer and spiritual understanding, rather than medical intervention, to address health and other challenges.
Shamanism: In some indigenous cultures, spiritual leaders (shamans) conduct rituals to balance the spiritual and natural worlds to restore health.
