AnnotationSpirituality is a broad, multifaceted, multidimensional construct that appears to increase in importance with ageing, and may assist older people in seeking meaning in life and responding to stressful life events. This study explored spirituality in the lives of 210 older American women who completed the JAREL Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Overall data analysis indicated that these women had a reasonably high level of spirituality. In addition, those women who described their health as good or excellent and had a college education had higher spirituality scores. (KJ/RH).
