Qualitative Research on Self-Transcendence in Older Adults: A Scoping Review
Abstract:
The current scoping review describes qualitative research on self-transcendence (ST) in older adults. Articles from five databases were independently screened and data were extracted from predetermined categories. Results were compared and consensus reached through discussion. The two leading theorists guiding the chosen studies were Pamela Reed and Lars Tornstam. Experiential language in the studies most often touched on intrapersonal and interpersonal ST. Two main gaps identified in the literature were: (a) limited coverage of transpersonal aspects of ST, and (b) limited inclusion of experiential language of study participants. More qualitative research, phenomenology in particular, can shed light on the topic of ST. A deeper understanding of all aspects of ST, including experiential language used to describe it, can lay a foundation for nursing to advance with theory formation, scale construction, and interventions to better promote spiritual and psychological well-being in older adults.
