Area of Science:

* This research is situated within the interdisciplinary fields of occupational therapy and nursing.
* It specifically addresses the theoretical conceptualization of spirituality within these health professions.

Background:

* Both occupational therapy (OT) and nursing literature have explored the concept of spirituality.
* A gap exists in a cohesive theoretical framework for spirituality within occupational therapy models.

Purpose of the Study:

* To propose a theoretical framework for spirituality in occupational therapy, informed by nursing literature.
* To advocate for representing spirituality as a flexible framework rather than a rigid definition within OT.

Main Methods:

* The study suggests utilizing discourse analysis to examine the concept of spirituality.
* It recommends exploring personal and professional worldviews to contribute to theoretical development.

Main Results:

* The integration of nursing literature can inform occupational therapy's theoretical progress on spirituality.
* Discourse analysis and worldview examination are proposed as key methods for conceptualizing spirituality.

Conclusions:

* A flexible, framework-based approach to spirituality is more beneficial for occupational therapy than a fixed definition.
* This approach can enhance the theoretical underpinnings of occupational therapy practice and education.
