Abstract

ABSTRACT: Faith community nurses (FCN) are in an ideal position to lead the faith community in creating structures and models to integrate research and evidence-based practices into faith-based ministries. In transforming an organization, the FCN considers ways to educate the community on the value of research. By embracing research as a method for informing practice, the FCN plays a vital role in evaluating faith-based interventions.
