Abstract
ID: 21
The purpose of this study was to better understand spirituality in the life narratives of older adults. I analyzed life narratives (n = 34) of older adults via a basic thematic analysis to determine the general themes related to resilience and overcoming adversity. My results included four main categories (adversity, resilience, spirituality, and family) that were organized into major themes. The major themes included (but were not limited to): giving and receiving family support catalyzes resiliency, organized religion provided a defined structure for life, meaning, resilience, and social connection and personal spirituality allowed some participants to define their structure for life, meaning, resilience, and social connection. Implications of this study show family, social support, and religion and spirituality as vital to overcoming hardships in life.
