“…This study affirmed that addressing spirituality while working with children has its own set of unique considerations. Findings in this study and others highlighted that a child's spirituality is highly influenced by their parents and environment, and that these elements must be addressed in practice to support their development and promote health and wellbeing (John & Sharma, 2014;Stockinger, 2019). Another consideration may be the child's developmental stage.…”

Introduction Spirituality is included as a core part of occupational therapy models, as it can enhance connectedness and belonging and provide meaning to occupations. However, research that has explored occupational therapists' perspectives on spirituality has found that a lack of education and understanding of the concept means that currently many therapists do not address it in their practice. Existing research focusses on adult clients, and there is no known published research that focusses on occupational therapists working with children and their views on spirituality in clinical practice. This study explored the perspectives of occupational therapists working with children on spirituality in their clinical practice with children. Methods This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Participants included 20 registered occupational therapists working with children in Australia. Data were collected using focus groups and interviews and analysed using thematic analysis to determine key themes. Findings Five themes were developed: (1) vagueness and subjectivity of spirituality, (2) overlapping characteristics of spirituality and religion, (3) indirect focus on spirituality, (4) differences in children's spirituality, and (5) outcomes of addressing spirituality. Conclusion Occupational therapists working with children report difficulty conceptualising spirituality and describing its role in clinical practice with children. Despite this, most suggested that spirituality is indirectly applied and has a role in improving the wellbeing of children. There is a need for exploration of how to directly support the use of spirituality in practice with children to further support holistic and family‐centred care.

“…In light of this, how does one's present disposition toward imagination and retrospect connect to one's religious orientation? (Stockinger, 2019). The findings highlight societal concerns that the way children play and think imaginatively can be harmful to religious doctrines or put them in direct conflict with them.…”

“…Di taman kanak-kanak anak-anak bertemu dengan orang-orang yang berbeda agama dan spiritual sikap, yang mungkin mendasar bagi perkembangan spiritual mereka sendiri. Hasil penelitian (Stockinger, 2019) tentang bagaimana dua taman kanak-kanak di Austria menangani keberagaman ini dan bagaimana anak-anak menghadapinya dirangkum. Salah satu hasil dari proyek penelitian etnografi kualitatif ini adalah, bergantung pada agama, anakanak memiliki peluang berbeda untuk mengembangkan komunikasi spiritual dan spiritualitas mereka berdasarkan tradisi dan ritual keagamaan.…”
