Her findings show that despite ill health, loneliness and depression, older people near the end of their lives find meaning and support in (re)discovering their spirituality, and that this is not just the experience of those in care facilities, but of older people more generally. The book includes a useful chapter on spiritual assessment, providing carers with information on how to recognise the need for care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to nurses, care workers, pastoral support professionals and anyone else working with older people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Mackinlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843102315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843102311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 16","brand":"Elizabeth Mackinlay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988037206271,"sku":"9781843102311","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d109e03-b6c3-4d1e-bd1f-fa3a690e3832.jpg?v=1683292264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spiritual-growth-and-care-in-elizabeth-mackinlay-9781843102311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
