Are sacred caves still safe havens for the endemic bats of Madagascar?
2018
AbstractDespite conservation discourses in Madagascar increasingly emphasizing the role of customary institutions for wildlife management, we know relatively little about their effectiveness. Here, we used semi-structured interviews with 54 adults in eight villages to investigate whether sacred caves and taboos offer conservation benefits for cave-dwelling bats in and around Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, south-west Madagascar. Although some caves were described as sites of spiritual significance for the local communities, most interviewees (c. 76%) did not recognize their present-day sacred status. Similarly, only 22% of the interviewees recognized taboos inhibiting bat hunting and consum…
Plädoyer für einen (berufs-) alltagstauglichen Begriff von Spiritualität
2021
Zusammenfassung Ein Blick auf die deutschsprachige Diskussion um Spiritual Care zeigt: Die Konzepte sind noch rar, die Grundlagen und Methoden spiritueller Kommunikation im Berufsalltag darstellen und entfalten. Dabei betonen so gut wie alle Stellungnahmen der Gesundheitsfachberufe die Wichtigkeit der Spiritualität in ihrer Arbeit. Der folgende Beitrag lenkt den Blick von der Metaebene der Diskussion um Spiritualität auf die Mikroebene der konkreten Situationen, die die Angehörigen der versorgenden Berufe in Krankenhaus, Altenheim und Palliative Care antreffen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Begriff von Spiritualität vorgestellt, der nicht nur der Hochform dieser Dimension, sondern auch der im …
La traducció corellana de la Vita Christi de Ludolf de Saxònia (edició crítica i estudi traductològic del llibre Primer, València, 1496).
2015
Aquesta tesi doctoral porta a terme una edició filològica de la traducció valenciana del llibre Primer de la Vita Chisti de Ludolf de Saxònia (c.1295/1300-1377/78), que és la darrera de les grans vides de Crist llatines de l’Edat Mitjana, i un dels puntals de la literatura contemplativa de la tardor medieval. La fixació del text traduït per l'escriptor i teòleg Joan Roís de Corella s'ha portat a terme a partir de l'acarament de les dues edicions que ens l'han transmés: l'editio princeps valenciana de 1496, que s'ha pres com a text base, i l'edició barcelonina de 1518. El text s'acompanya de tres aparats de notes: el primer, de caràcter ecdòtic, recull el conjunt de variants que presenten le…
How Do Religiosity and Spirituality Associate with Health-Related Outcomes of Adolescents with Chronic Illnesses? A Scoping Review.
2022
The aim of the current scoping review was to explore the associations between religious and spiritual factors and the health-related outcomes of adolescents with chronic illnesses, as well as to investigate possible mechanisms accounting for these relationships. In total, 20 studies meeting the eligibility criteria were reviewed after performing a search of the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. The results suggested that religious and spiritual beliefs, thoughts, and practices (e.g., spiritual coping activities) might have both beneficial and deleterious effects on the way adolescents deal with their medical condition, on their psychosocial adjustment, on their mental and physic…
A Successful Aging Model Based on Personal Resources, Self-Care, and Life Satisfaction
2021
The most internationally studied models of successful aging defend that there are several pillars for a good aging: absence of disease, good cognitive and physical function, a high commitment and social activity, social capital, personal resources, life satisfaction, and spirituality. This study examines the relationships between personal resources, perceived social support, hope, spirituality, self-care and subjective well-being variables, as bases for a successful aging. One thousand and sixteen community-dwelling Spanish adults, aged 55-92 years, participated in the study. Information on variables assessed was collected using self-reported questionnaires. Confirmatory Factor Analyses and…
The international phase 4 validation study of the EORTC QLQ-SWB32: A stand-alone measure of spiritual well-being for people receiving palliative care…
2017
The EORTC Quality of Life Group has just completed the final phase (field‐testing and validation) of an international project to develop a stand‐alone measure of spiritual well‐being (SWB) for palliative cancer patients. Participants (n = 451)—from 14 countries on four continents; 54% female; 188 Christian; 50 Muslim; 156 with no religion—completed a provisional 36‐item measure of SWB plus the EORTC QLQ‐C15‐PAL (PAL), then took part in a structured debriefing interview. All items showed good score distribution across response categories. We assessed scale structure using principal component analysis and Rasch analysis, and explored construct validity, and convergent/divergent validity with …
Development and Validation of a New Tool for the Assessment and Spiritual Care of Palliative Care Patients
2013
Context. Spiritual assessment tools and interventions based on holistic approaches are needed to promote healing. Such tools must be adapted to the wide cultural backgrounds of contemporary Western society. Objectives. To develop and validate a new brief measure, simultaneously featuring clinical applicability and adequate psychometric properties. The tool uses six initial questions to establish a climate of trust with patients before they complete an eight-item, five-point Likert scale. The questionnaire is based on a model of spirituality generated by the Spanish Society of Palliative Care (SECPAL) Task Force on Spiritual Care (Grupo de Espiritualidad de la SECPAL), which aims to recogniz…
Spirituality in patients with advanced illness: The role of symptom control, resilience and social network.
2015
In this study, we analyzed the relationships among clinical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of patients with advanced illness. It was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 108 patients in an advanced illness situation attended by palliative care teams. Statistically significant correlations were found between some dimensions of spirituality and poor symptomatic control, resiliency, and social support. In the structural model, three variables predicted spirituality: having physical symptoms as the main source of discomfort, resiliency, and social support. This work highlights the relevance of the relationships among spirituality and other aspects of the patient at the end o…
Assessing Somatic, Psychosocial, and Spiritual Distress of Patients with Advanced Cancer
2012
Objective: For adequate distress assessment in palliative care, we developed a screening evaluation tool. Methods: Proven methods of scale construction led to a 53-item pilot form of the Advanced Cancer Patients’ Distress Scale (ACPDS). We used Hornheide Questionnaire (HQ), Palliative Outcome Scale (POS), and Minimal Documentation System (MIDOS) for validation. Advanced cancer patients (N = 168) from 3 centers for palliative medicine (aged 23-89, 51% female) filled out the questionnaire. Results: With a principal component analysis (PCA), we extracted 5 distress scales (emotional reactions/physical restrictions, communication deficits, negative social reactions, pain, and gastrointestinal s…
