“…It is interesting to note that these six participants were equally distributed across the three groups, i.e., they were two artists (JB and RN), two mental health group members (SC and LO), and two prayer group members (KS and MR). In line with the literature findings (e.g., [4,5,8,37,38]) creativity was found to be an aspect of spirituality. As JB put it: "My spirituality flows through my art, without a doubt.…”

While the beneficial effects on mental health of spirituality and creativity as separate entities have been well documented, little attention has been given to the interactive effect of the two constructs in coping. Recently, the theory of transformative coping and associated Transformative Coping Model have been developed and examined from both theoretical and quantitative perspectives. To extend this work, the present study critically examined the theory of transformative coping and associated Transformative Coping Model from a qualitative perspective. Ten interviews were conducted among Northern Irish and Irish artists, contemplative prayer group members, and mental health service users. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results showed that the majority of participants had experienced stress and trauma, and have suffered mental ill-health as a consequence. Most defined themselves as both creative and spiritual, and resorted to a spiritual attitude along with creative expression in order to cope with traumatic events and ongoing stressful situations. Most participants believed that their creativity was rooted in their spirituality and that the application of both helped them to transform negative emotional states into positive ones. This, in turn, gave them increased resilience to and a different perspective of stressful events, which aided and improved their coping skills throughout the lifespan.

“…Psykisk helse • Terapi • Kommunikasjon • Religion • INtRoduKsjoN I de senere årene har det vaert økende erkjennelse for betydningen av å ivareta pasienters religiøsitet og åndelige behov i behandling og rehabilitering av psykiske lidelser (1,2). Dette perspektivet er også vektlagt i Opptrappingsplanen for psykisk helse, som erkjenner at mennesket må sees både som kropp, sjel og ånd, og nødvendige hensyn må tas til menneskets åndelige og kulturelle behov, ikke bare de biologiske og sosiale (3).…”

“…Pasienter bekrefter at åndelige behov ofte ikke er prioritert eller blir neglisjert av helsepersonell (1). Tradisjonelt har behandlingskulturen i det psykiatriske fagfeltet vaert lite interessert i pasienters religiøse og åndelige verdier (11).…”

Bakgrunn: Det er en økende erkjennelse av betydningen av å ivareta pasienters religiøse og åndelige behov i behandling og rehabilitering av psykiske lidelser. I sykehus blir disse behovene oftest ivaretatt av prester. Hensikten med denne studien var å få fordypet kunnskap om pasienters erfaringer med sjelesorg eller samtaler med prest som en del av behandlingen, og hvilken betydning dette hadde for dem.

“…It is important to note that without conducting a spiritual assessment, clients' desires are frequently overlooked (Awara & Fasey, 2008). For instance, elderly clients who want to have their spiritual needs taken into account during service provision may not initiate a discussion of spirituality, unless directly asked (Nelson-Becker et al, 2007).…”
