This is an editorial of a Special Issue concerning the International Conference of Spirituality in Healthcare held in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, Republic of Ireland (ROI), in June 2015 [1]
This inaugural event was the first international spirituality in healthcare conference hosted by Trinity College Dublin, with a second international conference planned for 23 June 2016
Summary
This Special Issue, related to the conference, features an eclectic series of papers. Transcendence in this sense refers to the concept of a higher or greater purpose in life, a sense of what it is important to do and what constitutes a good or a right way to live This notion of meaning-making is gaining popularity as the central component of spirituality, suggesting that the human need to make sense of life events is an expression of spirituality [15]. It is important to remember that spirituality is a cultural dimension of humanity [16] and it is not static in so far as it may change across the life span of the individual, and/or when facing life changing events or crisis Whether or not those who lack cognitive capacity have spiritual needs, or require spiritual support in healthcare is a matter for debate, and one that has not been satisfactorily resolved. Like so many aspects of spirituality, relies on particular belief frameworks (e.g., philosophical, psychological or religious)
