Spiritual Well-Being in Older Adults: A Concept Analysis
1Christina L. Cummins Jones, DNP, MS, APRN, FNP-BC, CRRN, CCC-SLP, is family nurse practitioner in primary care at Florida State University's Health & Wellness Center in Tallahassee, FL. She has always loved older adults and was blessed to have grown up near to her grandparents and great-grandparents.
Abstract:
This concept analysis of spiritual well-being (SWB) in the older adult seeks to improve nurses' integration of spiritual care. Using Walker and Avant's method, the author identified five defining attributes of SWB: personal faith, religious practices, spiritual contentment, productive engagement, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Antecedents to SWB include awareness of one's spiritual needs and seeking to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Model, borderline, and contrary cases are presented to illustrate the defining attributes of SWB. Nursing implications for practice are discussed.
