| Summary: | Spirituality is a key concept that plays a role in people's daily lives. This qualitative study aimed to explore representations and experiences of spirituality in nursing homes. This research included eight residents, three family members, seven caregivers and ten psychologists (N = 28). Semi-structured interviews were conducted in several nursing homes in France over three months. Concepts of beliefs, transcendence, and connection were mainly related to spirituality. Participants defined essential spiritual values and needs, and also described their spiritual experience in their nursing homes. In conclusion, spiritual care is desired, or even expected in nursing homes. |
