Abstract

Endometriosis not only has physical implications for women but also may affect their sexuality, self-image, and hopes for childbearing. This article discusses the role of parish nurses in a community faith-based setting collaborating to provide comprehensive care for women who are diagnosed with endometriosis. Physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of care are highlighted. Traditional and complimentary treatments are described. Examples of outcomes for women in the described program are included in case study exemplars.
