| Annotation | This model was developed as a part of doctoral studies that examined spirituality in a group of independent-living older adults in Canberra and NSW, Australia. This first study of the model identified six major spiritual themes from participant interviews: ultimate meaning in life for each person; the way individuals responded to meaning; self-sufficiency versus despair; moving from provisional to final life meanings; relationship versus isolation in ageing; and hope versus despair. (KJ/RH). |
