Faith Community Nursing: An International Specialty Practice Changing the Understanding of Health
暫譯: 信仰社區護理：一項改變健康理解的國際專業實踐

這本多位作者共同編寫的書籍，由在信仰社區護理（Faith Community Nursing, FCN）領域的領導者擔任編輯和作者，旨在解決當前基於信仰的、全人、社區健康服務中的問題，提供具成本效益、可及性和以病人為中心的護理，並在病人照護的整個過程中挑戰當前的健康政策，以納入更多的健康促進服務。

本書包含二十五章，帶領讀者從對這一歷史性草根運動的基礎理解，走向當前的國際專業護理實踐。書籍分為五個部分，描述了信仰社區護理的歷史進展、當前的影響及未來的挑戰，考慮到牧師、會眾、護理人員、醫療系統以及國內外公共衛生組織的觀點。

本書的好處在於它面向多元的讀者群，包括非專業人士、學術界、醫療專業人士或健康照護高管。通過改變讀者的思維方式，使其看到護理人員不僅僅是提供疾病護理，信仰社區不僅僅是人們在星期天去的地方，健康不僅僅是身體上的，透過信仰社區護理，創造出促進健康的替代方案。
