Description
Summary:Recent approaches to spirituality in health care suggest spirituality and meaning making are intimately connected. However, not much has been done to explore the hermeneutic and existential implications of this perspective. This article delves into these hermeneutic and existential questions, suggesting that narrative is a comprehensive phenomenon through which spirituality can be described and understood. This leads to a systematic description of spirituality, which is both defined and described herein. This article ends with a reflection on the clinical implications of this model, drawing upon both practical literature and impressions from the author’s own spiritual care clinical practice.
