Abstract
ABSTRACT Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the constituents of spirituality for six residential aged care residents and six bereaved family members. Transcripts were analysed thematically and mapped to Lartey’s integrated dimensions of spirituality. Findings suggest that spirituality is best described through the lens of connection, whether with the transcendent (religious belief), in oneself (identity), with another (family support), with a group (religion), or with space (RAC descriptor). The findings of this study highlight the importance of creating a balance between biomedical and spiritual aspects of care in RAC especially for culturally diverse residents and families.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
