Abstract
This article is part of a study that explores the concept of dignity and its interconnectedness with spirituality and focuses on understanding older peoples’ experiences of dignity and its significance in caring. A hermeneutical approach was chosen. Seventeen older people were invited to participate in two conversations, resulting in 30 interviews. The findings portray how dignity is always present and comprises the whole human being. Furthermore, feeling mutual love and being cared for is essential and may foster dignity in old age. The findings also point to how spiritual care underpins dignity through uplifting the spirit, feeling alive, and being valued.
