Life-Closing Spirituality and the Philosophic Assumptions of the Roy Adaptation Model

Marjorie C. Dobratz, RN; DNSc

University of Washington, Tacoma

Secondary analysis of data from a previous study that referenced spirituality was coded, categorized, and grouped into themes. Life-closing spirituality for 44 (45.4%) of 97 total participants was shaped by a core theme ofbelieving that was central to dying persons. Believing was linked to six other themes: comforting, releasing, connecting, giving, reframing, and requesting. These themes supported the philosophic assumptions and principles of humanism and veritivity as defined in the Roy adaptation model.

Key Words: death and dying • Roy adaptation model • spirituality
