ABSTRACT: To better understand the impact Roman Catholic religious sisters have had on healthcare in the United States, the authors initiated the Religious Sisters in Health Care: The Conspicuous Love of Jesus project, recording sisters' stories of service, obedience, and leadership that point to their foundational work of making the healing presence of Jesus central to Catholic healthcare identity. The sisters' counsel for nurses and all staff in Catholic healthcare was to focus on Jesus' love in all work and to keep each person's healing ministry alive through regular rejuvenating opportunities.

Life-threatening diseases are being diagnosed at younger ages and successfully managed for longer periods of time. Adult patients increasingly will have parents who want to be present and help during treatment. Little is known about how best to include parents of adult children in the nursing plan of care. Healthcare professionals must balance the independence and privacy needs of adult patients with parents' desire to help and provide care.
