| Annotation | Many families face difficulties in maintaining healthy relationships. Past research has identified that religious and/or spiritual beliefs and practices can enhance family well-being. Research has also shown that religious and/or beliefs and practices can shape the ageing process. Yet there is scant information on the methods through which religious and/or spiritual beliefs are passed on to future generations. This study utilised Eriksonian conceptual ideas and grounded theory methods to conduct interviews with 13 older adults on the process through which religious and/or spiritual beliefs are passed on to children and grandchildren. Ideas are discussed for practitioners based on study findings. (JL). |
