Supporting spirituality in the care of older people living with dementia: a hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry into nurses’ experiences

Abstract: Learning and developing an understanding of the spiritual needs of older people with dementia is challenging. The nurses offered person-centred, spiritual care, to people with dementia from a variety of perspectives, which is important in the provision of comprehensive care.

Spirituality can be a framework in daily living and a resource that supports positive ageing, and strengthen bodily and mental well-being and peacefulness, especially when older peoples' health deteriorates (Candy et al 2012;Ennis and Kazer 2013;Lavretsky 2010;Malone and Dadswell 2018;Toivonen et al 2018;Wallace and O'Shea 2007;Whitehead 2018;Zimmer et al 2016). Lavretsky (2010) claims that older people with a religious life view can find greater well-being than nonreligious people, as religious affiliation supports social relationships; moreover, religion can provide the answer to universal questions related to loss and death, as well as contribute to the maintenance of meaning in life.…”
