| Annotation | A positive relationship between higher levels of spiritual and religious activities and well-being in older people is suggested in the research literature. The authors of this article present a brief set of questions to be used in direct practice encounters with older people. These open-ended questions are designed to assist practitioners working with older people to explore the role religion and spirituality play in their lives with respect to affective and instrumental support and meaning making. This short inventory can be integrated into any biopsychosocial assessment or at any point in the helping relationship. (RH). |
