“…We note that even in a secular culture such as Quebec, spirituality has played an active and positive role in the quality of life and health of respondents during the COVID-19 pandemic, but that this phenomenon is attributable to some dimensions more than others. The differences point to a secular spirituality that is more focused on inner and intellectual dimensions than transcendental and emotional dimensions (Comte-Sponville, 2009 ; Ferry, 2011 ), which, likewise, are valued in Quebec educational institutions (Cherblanc & Risdon, 2019 ). This secular spirituality and its association with better mental and overall health confirms the need for special spiritual support for these population groups, including those who can be described as “spiritual but not religious”, as many specialists have argued since the beginning of the pandemic with regard to the population as a whole (Chirico & Nucera, 2020 ).…”

COVID-19 has led to the implementation of various social and sanitary measures, impacting populations' quality of life. Aims: Documenting the spiritual quality of life (SQoL) of university employees and students in Quebec, Canada. A survey of 2,202 employees and students was conducted using health measurement tools, including the short version of the WHOQoL-SRPB. We ran a multiple linear regression to determine which variables promote the SQoL. SQoL was very low (2.92/5). Positive mental health, religion, and age are the main predictors of the SQoL. Some dimensions of spirituality contribute more than others to the respondents' quality of life and health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…On craint donc la transmission de valeurs indues, les manipulations et même les conversions dans certains cas (Cherblanc, 2010 : 299). En réaction à ces craintes – mais pas seulement – les AVSEC adaptent leur pratique et développent un calendrier d’activités moins « spirituelles » et de plus en plus reliées à la formation citoyenne (Cherblanc et Risdon, 2019).…”

Au cours des dernières décennies, les recherches sur les radicalismes ont mis en évidence une multitude de facteurs de risques et de protection associés à ce problème humain et social. Selon les écrits scientifiques, la spiritualité est l’un de ces facteurs de protection. Cependant, cette dimension est souvent ignorée dans l’analyse scientifique ou médiatique du phénomène de radicalisation. Ce texte a pour but de montrer qu’une plus grande intégration de la spiritualité dans le système scolaire public québécois pourrait favoriser le développement global de l’enfant et aider à prévenir la radicalisation. Nous pensons que le programme d’Éthique et de culture religieuse serait propice à l’intégration de la spiritualité en milieu scolaire.

Much of the research on professions in the field of healthcare focuses on standard bodies of knowledge, jurisdictional claims, state regulations, and professional closure, which are characteristics of professions like medicine. However, new notions such as client-based professionalization, professional fluidity, and connective professionalism have recently emerged in the sociology of professions literature. This article suggests a new perspective on alternative paths of professionalism at the margins of the healthcare system, drawing on the case of spiritual caregivers. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 Israeli spiritual caregivers. The interviewees presented themselves as professionals by describing characteristics resembling the new notions of professionalism: the centrality of the patient, the fluid nature of the practice of spiritual care, and their connectivity with other healthcare practitioners. New notions in the sociological study of professions can help us understand alternative paths of professionalism at the margins of the healthcare system and to characterize the practitioners in these margins. This could contribute to a better understanding of the new sources of gaining legitimacy in the healthcare system to the benefit of patients, medical practitioners, other staff members, and medical institutions at large.
