“…A literature review by Dyson, Cobb, and Forman (1997) revealed several themes common to different conceptualizations of spirituality: a search for meaning in life, the need for hope, relatedness or connectedness to others, a set of religious or non-religious beliefs, and expression of spirituality in multiple ways. Other researchers who are writing on the construct of spirituality seem to refer to spirituality as having to do with four different phenomena: (1) an internal belief system (c.f., Burkhart & Solari-Twadell, 2001;Cook et al, 2000;Emmons & Crumpler, 1999;Hawks, 1994), (2) the construction of meaning (c.f., Benjamin & Looby, 1998;Burke & Hackney, 1999;Burkhart & Solari-Twadell, 2001;Erickson, Hecker, Kirkpatrick, Killmer, & James, 2002;Shafranske & Gorsuch, 1984), (3) a relationship (c.f., Burke & Hackney, 1999;Burkhart & Solari-Twadell, 2001;Dyson et al, 1997), and (4) a higher power or an ultimate reality (c.f., Benjamin & Looby, 1998;Burke & Hackney, 1999;Sigmund, 2002;Wolf & Stevens, 2001). Along with religiousness and spirituality, the term faith sometimes also appears in the literature to describe similar phenomena.…”

“…Diversos estudios han demostrado una implicación importante de la dimensión espiritual a la hora de hacer frente a la enfermedad crónica y terminal, y se han encontrado correlaciones positivas entre los índices de recuperación y la espiritualidad (2,3,4). Estas investigaciones demuestran que, en un alto porcentaje, los individuos creen en un ser superior, y creen en el poder de este para mejorar el curso de la enfermedad (5,6,7,8,9).…”

Recibido: 16 de julio de 2011 Aceptado: 7 de octubre de 2011 RESUMEN Objetivo: comparar la perspectiva espiritual de las mujeres diagnosticadas con cáncer propio de su género (seno, útero, ovarios) y de las mujeres diagnosticadas con otros tipos de cáncer. Método: diseño cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo comparativo, de corte transversal. Se empleó una encuesta sociodemográfica para caracterizar la población y la Escala de perspectiva espiritual de Pamela Reed, a la cual se le realizó el análisis de confiabilidad que reportó un alfa de Cronbach de 0,799 en el grupo 1 y 0,763 en el grupo 2. La muestra incluyó a 100 mujeres que se encuentran en tratamiento contra el cáncer. Resultados: la perspectiva espiritual de las mujeres con cáncer propio de su género es moderada al igual que la de las mujeres con otros tipos de cáncer; al hacer la comparación de estos dos grupos no se encontró evidencia estadística que demostrara una diferencia significativa. Discusión: los resultados de este estudio aportan nuevos elementos para el cuidado de las mujeres con enfermedad oncológica y señalan que una perspectiva espiritual moderada puede ser un potencial para su cuidado integral, en el que la enfermera reconozca sus objetivos en el cuidado de la mujer como un ser total, más que el tipo de cáncer que tiene. PALABRAS CLAVEEspiritualidad, mujeres, neoplasias (Fuente: DeCS, Bireme). The Spiritual Perspective of Women with CancerABSTRACT Objective: To compare the spiritual perspective of women diagnosed with types of cancer particular to their gender (breast, uterus, ovarian) to that of women diagnosed with other types of cancer. Method: This is a qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive comparative study. Pamela Reed's spiritual perspective scale was used and its reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.799 for 1 and 0.763, for group 2. The sample included 100 women who are receiving treatment for cancer. A socio-demographic survey was applied to characterize the population. Results: The spiritual perspective of women with types of cancer particular to their gender is moderate to equal that of women with other types of cancer. A comparison between the two groups showed no statistical evidence to demonstrate a significant difference.

“…The literature associates spirituality with interconnectedness (Kinjerski and Skrypnek 2004;Joseph 2002) and faith relationships with the transcendent (Beazley 1998). Interfaith studies of spirituality in diverse cultures and in different fields such as health care (Burkhart 2001), neurotheology (Newberg et al 2001), theology (Rose 2001) and psychology (Piedmont 2007) also find connection a central idea in the conceptualisation of spirituality.…”

The aim of this paper is to develop a self-actualizing spirituality model. It examines the place of selfactualization in the experience of workplace spirituality of Sri Lankan business leaders. The primary method of data collection was in-depth and face-to-face interviews with 13 Sri Lankan business leaders. Within the qualitative tradition and case study method, grounded theory and data triangulation were used to analyze the data. The findings suggest that when the business leaders experience workplace spirituality, they commonly project a need to grow, become and evolve towards the ideal (ought) self. This need is primarily driven by a desire to relate or connect to one's self. Findings suggest that self-actualizing work arrangements offer a way to implement inclusive workplace spirituality, devoid of the challenges usually associated with the practice of religion-based workplace spirituality. Despite the geographical, cultural and social differences that exist between Sri Lanka and other cultures, this paper provides research implications for spiritual leadership and ethical decision-making in other cultural settings.
