Meaning in life and nature connectedness are indicators of a healthy life and correlate with health and well-being. We conducted a validation study of German versions of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Steger et al. 2006) and Nature Connection Index (Richardson et al. 2019) and assessed mindfulness as a trait and personality (big five personality traits) among participating students (n = 353). Results indicated a significant positive correlation between nature connectedness and presence of meaning in life. Presence of meaning correlated significantly with less neuroticism, more openness to new experiences, greater conscientiousness, and moderately with the two mindfulness subscales, ‘acceptance’ and ‘presence’. Search for meaning was associated with more neuroticism and less acceptance. A higher nature-connectedness score correlated with more presence and acceptance (mindfulness), greater openness, and less neuroticism (personality traits). Furthermore, we introduce a nature-assisted model of meaning fulfilment that can be applied in healthcare practices, counselling, and (psycho-) therapeutic treatment. Our results contribute to growing evidence on the preventive and curative effects of nature connectedness and meaning in life and their role as health-related resources. Nature connectedness and meaning in life are effective resources considering various aspects related to (global) crises such as climate change and the corona pandemic.

Abstract Many people experience spiritual struggles – experiences of tension, strain, or conflict around religious or spiritual matters. Empirical, psychological research on spiritual struggles has increased greatly in the past several decades. To date, much of the emphasis has been on developing and refining assessment tools and documenting links with emotional distress. Building on several recent reviews of spiritual struggle research (Pargament & Exline 2021; Pargament & Exline 2022) as well as our own recent projects on spiritual struggles, our aim in this article is to look toward the future: What are some promising new horizons in research on spiritual struggles? We will focus on four broad areas: 1) conceptualization, assessment, and methods, 2) connections between struggles and indicators of distress or problems, 3) how struggle might foster growth, and 4) clinical interventions.

Zusammenfassung Spirituelle Konflikte sind in krisenhaften und belastenden Lebenssituationen nicht selten. Eine schwere Erkrankung, der Verlust eines wichtigen Menschen oder kräftezehrende Lebensumstände können dazu führen, dass tragende Sinnstrukturen und spirituell-religiöse Überzeugungen ins Wanken geraten. Hier haben Gesundheitsberufe die besondere Aufgabe einer einfühlsamen Begleitung, welche die spirituelle Dimension einschließt und diesbezüglichen Konflikten Raum gibt. Anhand eines Fallbeispiels werden Möglichkeiten des Umgangs von der Exploration über Expression und Validierung bis zur Transformation durch Imagination vorgestellt. Benannt werden auch Herausforderungen und Grenzen sowie Ideen für die praktische Umsetzung.
