Abstract:
Objective. This is a review of spiritually based interventions (eg, mindfulness-based stress reduction) that utilized psychoneuroimmunological (PNI) outcome measures in breast cancer survivors. Specifically, this review sought to examine the evidence regarding relationships between spiritually based interventions, psychosocial-spiritual outcomes, and biomarker outcomes in breast cancer survivors. Methods. A systematic search of 9 online databases was conducted for articles of original research, peer-reviewed, randomized and nonrandomized control trials from 2005-2015. Data were extracted in order to answer selected questions regarding relationships between psychosocial-spiritual and physiological measures utilized in spiritually based interventions. Implications for future spiritually based interventions in breast cancer survivorship are discussed. Results. Twenty-two articles were reviewed. Cortisol was the most common PNI biomarker outcome studied. Compared with control groups, intervention groups demonstrated positive mental health outcomes and improved or stable neuroendocrine-immune profiles, although limitations exist. Design methods have improved with regard to increased use of comparison groups compared with previous reviews. There are few spiritually based interventions that specifically measure religious or spiritual constructs. Similarly, there are few existing studies that utilize standardized religious or spiritual measures with PNI outcome measures. Findings suggest that a body of knowledge now exists in support of interventions with mindfulness-breathing-stretching components; furthermore, these interventions appear to offer potential improvement or stabilization of neuroendocrine-immune activity in breast cancer survivors compared to control groups. Conclusion. From a PNI perspective, future spiritually based interventions should include standardized measures of religiousness and spirituality in order to understand relationships between and among religiousness, spirituality, and neuroendocrine-immune outcomes. Future research should now focus on determining the minimum dose and duration needed to improve or stabilize neuroendocrine-immune function, as well as diverse setting needs, including home-based practice for survivors who are too ill to travel to group sessions or lack economic resources.

Abstract:
We systematically reviewed the research literature on spiritually and religiously integrated group psychotherapy to answer the following three questions: first, how are spirituality and religiosity defined; second, how are spiritual and religious factors characterized and integrated into group psychotherapy; and, third, what is the outcome of the group psychotherapies? We searched in two databases: PsycINFO and PubMed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria and checklists from standardized assessment tools were applied to the research literature. Qualitative and quantitative papers were included. In total, 8 articles were considered eligible for the review. Findings from the evaluation suggested that the concepts of spirituality and religiosity were poorly conceptualized and the way in which spiritual and religious factors were integrated into such group psychotherapies, which distinguished it from other types of group psychotherapies, was not fully conceptualized or understood either. However, clear and delimited conceptualization of spiritual and religious factors is crucial in order to be able to conclude the direct influences of spiritual or religious factors on outcomes. Implications for spiritually or religiously integrated group psychotherapy and conducting research in this field are propounded.

Abstract:
A chorus of scholarly voices has echoed the significance of spiritual intelligence in organizational settings. This paper provides fresh insights by investigating the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and workplace outcomes using David King's four-factor Spiritual Intelligence SelfReport Inventory (SISRI-24). The study was conducted in Nigeria, a sub-Saharan African country, using a sample of 216 employees of a private university selected in a non- probabilistic sample. There was a significant relationship between SI and workplace outcomes such as job performance, job commitment, and job satisfaction. However, the effects of the dimensions of SI on workplace outcomes are varied. These results bring to fore the existence of possible variations in the meaning and dimensions of spiritual intelligence; and their effects on workplace outcomes across contexts. As spiritual intelligence correlates with positive employee outcomes, organizations should invest in discovering, developing, and deploying this domain of intelligence.

Abstract:
This article presents a five-year follow-up waitlist control design study investigating the impact of a spiritual education programme on self-efficacy and prosocial behaviours of South Asian older adults participating in adult and continuing education initiatives of volunteer work and community service. Intervention group older adults (IN2 = 321) reported higher scores on outcome measures as compared to the waitlist control group (CN2 = 303). Post-intervention outcome scores were higher for participants from Mumbai and Kathmandu, women, middle class, Hindus and Buddhists, single, highly educated, in good health, with an innate desire to volunteer, who attended more than 75% of the spiritual education programme lessons and regularly self-practiced. Self-practice was the strongest predictor of post-test outcomes. Structural equation models indicated that spiritual education programme attendance and self-practice mediated the relationship between socio-demographic moderators and outcomes. The spiritual education programme is a useful intervention and can be incorporated in adult and continuing education training programmes with some refinements for specific subgroups.

Abstract:
In the United States, African-American residents are an underserved population with evidence of higher health disparities than those associated with any other race, contributing to escalating health care costs. Despite the absence of health promotion and wellness training, pastors in predominately Black churches accept the responsibility for addressing more than the spiritual needs of their church members. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory research study was to explore the perspectives of African-American Christian pastors on giving health guidance and their lived experiences as health promotion advocates. A total of 10 African-American Christian pastors were voluntarily recruited from 3 southern U.S. states using both purposeful and theoretical sampling strategies. Interviewing was the main data collection method. Social cognitive theory along with grounded theory were used to examine the interactions based on participants' points of view, and inductive analysis was also used. The results indicated that pastors have knowledge of their congregational members' health challenges and goals and have achieved positive health outcomes. The pastors also agreed that seminary should incorporate more information on health and wellness into the curriculum. These findings suggest that pastors, who are faith-based resources outside of health care systems, need to be educated, equipped, guided, and groomed as health leaders to assist efforts to reduce or eliminate health care disparities. Members of the clergy, their church members, and surrounding community residents would all benefit from the knowledge, understanding, and development of skills to change their unhealthy lifestyle habits and effective self- management of chronic diseases to achieve positive health outcomes.

Abstract:
This study investigates the development of, and relationships between, religiosity, spirituality, moral thinking and social attitudes among religious adolescents participating in an early morning weekday religious education program in Australia. Students participating in the Early Morning Seminary program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints form the population of interest for this study. These students demonstrate high levels of religious practice, making them an important group to research when seeking greater understanding of the outcomes of religious and spiritual developmental arising from such programs and when investigating how religiosity relates to moral and attitudinal aspects in the lives of religious youth. The research is survey based and entails the administering of four waves over a two-year period, enabling longitudinal observations to be examined. A sample of convenience is used consisting of Seminary students from South Australia and Victoria. Various survey instruments are used to measure characteristics such as family background, educational background, student religious activity, Seminary program involvement, relationships with God, moral decision making and social attitudes. Data analysis includes the use of Rasch scaling procedures, path analysis and Hierarchical Linear Modelling software in order to investigate multilevel effects on change in key dimensions over time. The fact that specific research regarding highly religious youth in Australia is not common and that research regarding Latter-day Saint youth in Australia is almost non-existent makes this study an important and seminal contribution in the Australian religious research field. This study provides several other important contributions to the field as it explores developmental outcomes of a specific religious education program across a range of religious and psychosocial dimensions. The oft-reported strong influence of the family on the religiosity of teenagers is reflected in the findings of this study. There is also evidence to indicate that private religious activity is especially important for the level of spirituality among students. The findings indicate that spirituality, rather than public or private religious practice, influences moral reasoning. Furthermore, private religious practice tends to have more positive influence than spirituality on social attitudes. Participation in the Seminary program appears to influence religiosity and spirituality significantly and independently of other variables included in the study, although the influence of participation is mediated by the feelings of students concerning the program. Generally, students show a decline in both participation levels and feelings towards the Seminary program over time. However, there is evidence of increased positive attitude toward a religious lifestyle, religious belief and awareness of God’s influence in life. Religious practice appears to influence change in several practical, attitudinal and spiritual dimensions positively. The findings indicate that the developmental role of Seminary participation is largely through the influence of the class environment. From this study it appears that religious participation in both public and private forms can have a major influence on key dimensions of spirituality and that religious and spiritual characteristics can have some influence on moral decision making and the forming of social attitudes. Participation in a religious education program, such as the Latter-day Saint Seminary program, can influence these dimensions especially if there is a positive attitude towards the program on the part of students and the class the environment is appropriate. In recent decades, the role of religion in psychological and social reality has seen greater attention and acceptance in academic circles. Accordingly, the body of academic research regarding religion and associated fields has increased and diversified opening the way for further exploration of the role of religion in the broader context of human life as is found in this study.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to analyze a recreation therapy yoga meditation intervention, the Sanatana Yoga Prison Project (SYPP), at a California state prison. The SYPP had three interventions: pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (physical postures), and dhyana (meditation). The research question was, "What are the outcomes of a recreation therapy yoga meditation intervention on prison inmates' spiritual well-being?" This study used a mixed-method approach that included a modified Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), demographic data sheet, and semi-structured interviews that were face-to-face and audio-recorded. There were 31 participants in the control group and 31 participants in the experimental group. Spiritual Wellbeing (SWB) scores were analyzed using the SWBS manual and SPSS 20. The results indicated significant difference between the groups. That is, the experiment group scored high on SWB compared to the control group that scored moderate on SWB. Ten interviews from the experimental group were analyzed using an existential-phenomenological approach. Two overarching categories emerged with four themes each: (a) concrete outcomes with themes of physical benefits, escape, quieting the mind, and reflection, and (b) psychospiritual development outcomes with themes of epiphany, connection to self and others, psychological and behavioral change, and coping skills.

Abstract:
How do the Catholic Schools Consultants through their leadership and relationship with Principals influence the outcomes of Catholic systemic schools in New South Wales (NSW)? This research question has been of considerable interest to the professional communities of Catholic educators. Throughout NSW there are eleven diocesan Catholic school systems, each led by a Director assisted by senior field officers called Consultants, the equivalent position of Area superintendents or inspectors in other school systems. The leadership of these Consultants is considered critical for the effectiveness of the school systems especially through their influence on and with Principals. Within this survey research study, the total population of Consultants and Principals was invited to participate, and 45 Consultants (90%) and 365 Principals (76%) responded. The research study was based on the assumption that a ‘classical’ view of leadership should be augmented by a more complex, interactive view of leadership as relationship that influenced outcomes in school systems. The study was operationalized in three dimensions. Leadership was described by ten variables, derived from Sashkin’s (1998) Visionary Leadership Theory. The relationship between Consultant and Principals was posited as a composite of two variables, Interpersonal Relation and Shared Catholic Leadership Mindset, that are viewed as explanatory, mediating variables. Three selected outcome variables are posited – Educational Outcomes, School Outcomes and Spiritual Outcomes. The fifteen variables so described were developed and/or validated for this study using confirmatory factor analysis. Additionally, the impact of three demographic background factors of gender, school type, and years of networking association between Consultant and Principals on the main variables in the study was examined. A mediated – effects survey research design was used. Survey questionnaires were sent from the local Catholic Education Office to each volunteer Consultant and to her/his associated network of Principals on a confidential basis and returned directly to the researcher. At no stage did the researcher know the identity of the respondents. Data analysis methods included comparative means analysis of Consultants’ and Principals’ perceptions of the variables; multiple regression analysis and structural equation modelling to examine the associations between variables; MANOVA analysis to examine demographic background factors; and finally some descriptive analysis of survey data to provide validation or further insights. The study results showed that both Consultants and Principals agreed that the Consultants demonstrated visionary leadership as defined by Sashkin (1998) although there were significant differences on seven leadership factors. There was high level agreement that Consultants and Principals exhibited a shared mindset, described as Shared Catholic Leadership Mindset, and outstanding interpersonal relationships. Findings about the associations between variables showed different results for Principals and Consultants. The ‘Principals’ model suggested that the two relationship variables acted as mediators between some of the ten leadership variables and the three outcome variables. On the other hand, the ‘Consultants’ model suggested that neither of the two relationship variables acted as mediators, but that only two leadership variables, Capable Management and Creative Leadership, had any influence on Outcomes. There were no significant differences on results due to gender, school type or years of networking association for either Principals or Consultants. These results, supplemented by qualitative findings, led to the conclusion that there was a need for system policy makers to reconceptualise the leadership of such Consultants to emphasise the importance of the shared mindset, and the synergistic element in the relationship between Consultant and Principals. There was a recommendation that further research replicate this study with other Catholic, Government and independent education systems. The use of structural equation modelling analysis in similar future research was also recommended.

Abstract:
Data were collected by an external company for a healthcare service firm interested in learning the job-related attitudes of their employees. Thus, archival data from 1,287 employees were collected for a different purpose. The survey consisted of 117 questions covering a broad range of constructs. Consequently, the items were used to derive effective measures of employee engagement and behavioral outcomes, as well as the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical dimensions. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis procedures were used to create scales reflecting these four factors. Interestingly, six scales emerged, logically linking to and further specifying the initial dimensions. These were Organizational Linkage, Manager Relationship, Job Fit, Job Clarity, Work Pressure, and Meaningful Work. To test the hypotheses, six separate regression equations were calculated, which statistically supported modification by each of the dimensions. However, statistical significance of the interactions resulted from having a large sample, given the actual association was too small to be meaningful (e.g., a contribution of 0.6% of the variance). As each of the dimensions had a main effect on the behavioral measure during hypothesis testing, exploratory regression equations were calculated to further understand the interrelationships. Of most interest was finding that in the presence of Engagement, the main effects of only Organizational Linkage and Job Fit reached significance. However, when Engagement was not included, four of the six dimensions made a significant contribution to Behavioral Outcomes. Overall, there was support for previous conceptualizations. From the scientist-practitioner perspective, the six factors identified in this study may be more useful than the four initially proposed. The distinctions give practitioners additional information to use in interventions to improve employee behavior and retention.

Abstract:
During sports competitions, especially soccer many players and coaches would pray before, during and after the game. Sometimes they would pray when they score a goal. The behaviour has attracted a research interest wanting to know why they do what they do often. The purpose of the study was to understand and evaluate the perceptions of coaches and elite players who continuously use spiritual rituals before, during and after soccer games to influence competitive outcomes. This study was carried out under the guidance of the following key questions; (a) Do spiritual perceptions of elite players influence outcomes of soccer competitions? (b) Does a divergence in spiritual perception between coaches and players influence competitive outcomes? and (c) Are spiritual (ritual) perceptions of soccer coaches and elite players related to religiosity/psychological interventions? In this study, a mixed method of data collection was used to eliminate the biases inherent in single method research. Specifically, qualitative and quantitative methods involving questionnaire, interview and observation supported by secondary and primary literature were used to gather information that would provide answers to the raised key questions. The results show that spiritual ritual practices would not influence the outcome of soccer competitions. Secondly, the spiritual ritual divergence among players and coaches would not influence outcomes of soccer competitions. Thirdly, the results showed that the use of spiritual rituals among players was purely for personal reasons, while the coaches used spiritual rituals as psychological intervention strategy to prepare the team before a given competitive. The overall results show that coaches and players agreed that spiritual rituals interventions are used for psychological interventions more than spiritual interventions. The implications of these findings to the players and coaches are discussed linked with future research focus.

Full text
Abstract:
Many religious/spiritual (R/S) individuals receive meaning from R/S and utilize R/S to help them cope with stressful life events. However, natural disasters can disrupt the R/S meaning-making process (e.g., positive R/S coping strategies) because natural disasters can elicit cognitive dissonance between one's core R/S beliefs and personal disaster experience. R/S individuals suffering from a disaster experience could benefit from interventions that allow them to process their R/S experiences. The purpose of this dissertation is to fill a gap in the literature by exploring the effectiveness of a spiritually-oriented expressive writing intervention on positive psychological outcomes (e.g., meaning in life, satisfaction with life) in 132 R/S individuals that have experienced a natural disaster (i.e., survivors of the 2016 Baton Rouge, Louisiana flood). Quantitative results indicated the spiritually-oriented intervention was effective in promoting increased meaning in life but not life satisfaction. Survivors with lower pre-intervention positive attitudes toward God evidenced the strongest positive impact on their meaning in life. Qualitative analyses, using the constant comparative method from Corbin and Strauss's grounded theory approach, revealed six themes in the experimental group's written responses: (a) R/S growth, (b) R/S struggle, (c) R/S cognitive dissonance, (d) R/S reappraisals, (e) R/S proximity-seeking, and (f) spiritual support and cohesion. I conclude by discussing limitation, areas for future research, and implications for counseling.

Abstract:
The last 3 decades have seen a dramatic increase in the creation and effective use of spiritually integrated therapy (SIT) for a wide variety of client populations and clinical issues. The outcome research on SIT has increased and improved dramatically, yet process research on SIT has lagged somewhat. While valuable, prior process-oriented studies on SIT have used retrospective survey methods and asked about generalized usage rates of predetermined spiritual interventions. Rather than relying on retrospective reports of SIT with clients, there is great value and likely greater accuracy in examining session-by-session usage of SIT with clients and identifying correlational patterns between clinical issues and spiritual interventions. The current study used a descriptive, practice-based evidence approach and analyzed session-by-session process data from a private practice explicitly marketed as offering SIT. After every therapy session, eight therapists at this site completed an in-depth process measure, the Clinically Adaptive Therapist Session Checklist, and reported which clinical issues they discussed and which spiritual interventions they used in session. Findings revealed that therapists discussed self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and religious/spiritual concerns in over half of their sessions. Therapists also endorsed affirming clients' divine worth, encouraged trusting God, encouraged clients to listen to their heart, and encouraged accepting God's love in over half of their sessions. The strongest positive correlations between spiritual interventions and clinical issues were between challenging shame and challenging fear, and emotional orientation (r = 0.664 and 0.648, respectively). The clinical patterns found in this analysis illustrate one way of incorporating spirituality into clinical work. This study highlights the importance of routine outcome/process monitoring systems to help illuminate the process of SIT and contribute to deliberate practice efforts in the field. This study also stimulated discussion on the distinction between SIT and being a spiritually centered therapist.

Abstract:
A growing number of studies show prospective associations between patient spirituality and quality of life. Evidence suggests that as physical health worsens, spiritual health holds a central role in determining patient well-being. Spirituality may enable patients to endure the suffering that comes with advanced illness and dying. Growing evidence also indicates that treatment preferences, medical decisions, and medical utilization are shaped by patients’ religiosity and the level of spiritual support from the medical team and religious communities. Spiritual support from the medical system is associated with increased hospice use, decreased aggressive care, and cost differences in the final week of life. This suggests that medical system spiritual support is an essential component that lessens futile medical treatment near life’s end. Those clinicians who are proficiently “fluent” in engaging religious beliefs may be better able to influence patients in making medical decisions. National standards have begun to incorporate these results.

Abstract:
Data suggest that clinicians infrequently provide spiritual care within life-threatening illness, at least within the perspective of patients’ accounts. Boston patients indicate that 13% of patient–nurse relationships and 6% of patient–physician relationships at any point in their clinical relationship entailed a spiritual care encounter. Nurses and physicians perceive spiritual care to be a more frequent occurrence. The gap in perception that exists may partially be due to underlying religious demographic differences between patients, nurses, and physicians. While most patients experience illness as a spiritual event, and there are notable medical outcomes and growing national guidelines calling for clinician spiritual care, by most accounts, including nurses and physicians, spiritual care seldom occurs. Questions arise regarding why physicians neglect or avoid providing spiritual care in serious illness.

Abstract:
Emerging adults are on a journey of self-discovery. In a nation founded on religious liberty, it is not surprising that so many emerging adults in the United States are focused on self-exploration concerning their religiousness and spirituality. This chapter addresses how religiousness and spirituality develop over the third decade by noting similarities and differences from previous and coming decades, the nature of religious and spiritual beliefs, the intersection of religious and spiritual development with developmental domains, and the outcomes associated with religiousness and spirituality. The chapter goes on to discuss religious and spiritual socialization contexts of parents, peers, religious communities, universities, and the media, and it delineates the variations in religious and spiritual development concerning gender, sexuality, and culture, as well as the subgroup of nonreligious and atheist emerging adults.

Abstract:
There is awareness among contemporary family physicians of the intersection of religion and spirituality (R/S) and health care. The rigorous examination of R/S and health outcomes continues to be hampered by methodological challenges and the lack of plausible conceptual models. However one important area of investigation, and growing evidence base, can be found in the spiritual care provided at the end of life. In this clinical setting and other related contexts, a health services perspective provides a structured approach to both research and practice, particularly with contemporary movements to value-based health care. For physicians, the following clinical skills are the foundation to spiritual care: (1) empathy and attentiveness; (2) formulating a whole person care plan that is inclusive of spiritual factors; (3) including pastoral and other spiritual care specialists in the care plan, and; (4) identifying and addressing concordant and discordant beliefs and values when they arise.

Abstract:
The chapter outlines the state of the science in religion/spirituality within advanced illness. Research indicates that most patients hold religion/spirituality to play an important role in advanced illness; benefits include improved pain tolerance and better quality of life. A few prospective studies indicate that dimensions of religious coping and spiritual support from medical and religious communties are assocated with notable medical outcomes in the final week of life. Research suggests that most patients have multiple spiritual needs that arise within life-threatening illness, and that most patients and clinicians believe it is appropriate for clinicians to address patient religion/spirituality. Clinicians should begin by taking a short spiritual history and by assessing this dimension of illness, especially in its clinical relevance to decision-making and quality of life. Training of clinicians remains a critical need within the field. Conditions for engaging in these complex relationships include religious/spiritual concordance and establishing a physician-patient relationship.

Abstract:
Religion and spirituality are an important part of many patients’ lives and influence healthcare and healthcare-related decisions. Measuring religious and spiritual beliefs is difficult and relies mostly on self report. As concepts, religion and spirituality overlap but also are distinct concepts. Religions often have specific rules or guidelines regarding sexual behavior, diet, drugs, and alcohol. These in turn may also affect psychological health and well-being. Religiousness has generally correlated with improved overall physical and mental health outcomes. Furthermore, religion and spirituality are sources of support and coping for many people. But religiousness can sometimes have negative influences such as in the case of cults or terrorism. Specific spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and yoga can have a direct effect on the brain and body. This chapter reviews the current understanding of how religious and spiritual beliefs and practices affect the brain and overall psychological health.

Abstract:
The Coping with Cancer Study is a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal observational study that examines the association between religious coping strategies and end-of-life care outcomes in patients with advanced cancer. Baseline interviews were performed to assess religious coping and other related variables. Patients were followed until death, a median of 122 days after baseline assessment. Logistic regression analyses showed a significant association between higher positive religious coping with increased preference of aggressive care at the end-of-life. Subsequent analyses from the same study showed that patients who expressed high spiritual support only from religious communities were less likely to receive hospice and more likely to receive aggressive end-of-life measures including dying in an intensive care unit. This effect was reverse in spiritual/religious care and was provided by the medical team.

Abstract:
Humanism is not the only answer to the conditions of secularism, nor would secularism inevitably equal nihilism without humanism.. This chapter articulates and defends positive humanism, a tradition not defined just by rejecting dogmatic religion but by seeking ethical ideals and human rights. Realizing those values requires hermeneutic interpretations of humanist exemplars from many cultures, past and present, in order to creatively apply those values within individual contexts. Humanism stands for liberty (autonomy and resilience), responsibility (the duty to care, for which one is answerable), justice (upholding institutions and arrangements that protect people from exploitation and humiliation), solidarity (spiritual and material care for one another), diversity (the right to individual and group identity), art of living (refined moral conduct toward oneself and others), and sustainability (long-term care for the inhabitability of the planet). Taken together, these values seek to promote humaneness.

Abstract:
Psychological, existential, spiritual, and social issues cause much suffering and deserve extensive study to understand these concerns more fully and to intervene more effectively. Themes that abound include communication, coping, ethics, the family, caregiving, quality of life, death and dying, psychiatric disorders, suffering, and the many expressions of distress. Many study designs are possible to explore these themes, often with complementary quantitative and qualitative components. This chapter summarizes the psychometric properties of many of the instruments that are commonly employed in such studies and the computer-assisted software packages that assist qualitative analyses. The goal is to strengthen research design and optimize research outcomes to benefit the discipline.

Abstract:
AbstractSalutogenesis introduces a paradigm that requires a perceptual change towards what creates health and how health can be facilitated. Removing the lens of pathogenesis, aging is an achievement to be embraced and older people are valued as assets for their wealth of experiences, resources, skills and knowledge. From the perspectives of older adults, the concept of healthy aging is multidimensional, comprising bio-psycho-social-spiritual health. Evidence shows that sense of coherence via resistance resources promotes health outcomes among older adults. However, very few works have attempted to operationalise the salutogenic theory to promote healthy aging among older community dwellers. This chapter provides a detailed description of the Salutogenic Healthy Aging Program Embracement (SHAPE) intervention for senior-only household dwellers. SHAPE represents an application of the salutogenic concepts: sense of coherence and resistance resources. SHAPE is an integrative person-centric multi-dimensional health resource program that employs an asset-based insight-oriented approach. Illustration of examples in which how the salutogenic concepts were operationalised in developing the SHAPE intervention approach, its content, activities and the conduction of the intervention are presented.

Abstract:
Addressing spirituality within serious illness is a core dimension of palliative care delivery. However, spiritual care frequently lacks integration within the care of patients and families facing serious illness. This chapter discusses the integration of spiritual care into palliative care delivery. Requisite to this integration is a clear understanding of definitions and palliative care guidelines informing spiritual care provision. Furthermore, integration is informed and motivated by a large body of evidence showing how spiritual and religious factors frequently play salient roles in serious illness and influence palliative care outcomes. The integration of spiritual care into palliative care practice relies on a generalist–specialist model, within which all members of the interdisciplinary palliative care team are responsible for spiritual care provision. Non-spiritual care specialist members of the palliative care team are responsible for generalist spiritual care delivery, including taking spiritual histories and screening for spiritual needs. The care team also includes spiritual care specialists, typically board-certified chaplains, who provide in-depth spiritual care delivery to patients and families and aid the care team in understanding the spiritual and religious dimensions of care. Additionally, data regarding tested spiritual care interventions are discussed as potential tools palliative care teams can employ to improve patient care and outcomes. Finally, the integration of spiritual care into palliative care teams presents both opportunities and challenges that must be considered as efforts needed to foster more seamless spiritual care delivery within palliative care.

Abstract:
The chapter analyzes the impact of spiritual intelligence on leadership. The research includes both primary and secondary data. The data is collected through two surveys: SISRI 24 for measuring the spiritual intelligence and MLQ for measuring the leadership traits of the respondents. The research population consist of 15 corporate leaders varied from Banking to IT to manufacturing industry. The authors also included some university professors for their research and study. SPSS software was used to do statistical analysis. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics including mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum scores, correlation formula, and multiple regression analysis. The outcomes demonstrate noteworthy positive connections, both simple and multiple, between spiritual intelligence and transformational leadership style in the corporate leaders in different sectors. As spiritual intelligence is an applied aspect of spirituality; it is recommended that spirituality be strengthened in corporate leaders in order to improve their leadership.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the interface between spirituality and integrity, and focuses particularly on educational processes that may facilitate this development. First, definitions and constructs of integrity are discussed as they relate to spirituality. The second section explores teaching pedagogies related to processes for developing one’s inner leadership. Such processes facilitate the dissolution of subject-object, and open the way for an awareness that goes beyond our ‘small selves’ for more ethical and sustainable futures to be imagined. The third part of this chapter explores outcomes for students with examples of teaching pedagogies presented regarding how students may connect with something far deeper than their ‘small selves’. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion on organisational and managerial implications of spiritual integrity, through both practical and theoretical insights. These include leadership as being ethical and authentic; a more meaningful sense of personal, organisational and societal purpose; and finally developing a deeper awareness of stewardship of the earth.

Abstract:
It is not uncommon for patients with mental disorders to have symptoms with religious or spiritual (R/S) contents, and, on the other hand, spiritual experiences often involve psychotic-like phenomena. This frequently creates difficulties in differentiating between a non-pathological R/S experience and a mental disorder. Clinical differentiation between a non-pathological R/S experience and a mental disorder with R/S content brings risks in both extremes: to pathologize normal R/S experience (promoting iatrogenic suffering) or neglecting pathological symptoms (delaying proper treatment). In order to mitigate these risks, this chapter will gather the best current scientific evidence and propose clinical guidelines to help the distinction between R/S experiences and mental disorders with R/S content. Scientific studies in people who have spiritual experiences should be encouraged, especially investigations of the phenomenology, neurobiology, precipitants, and outcomes in order to enlarge the empirical base needed to advance the criteria for this differential diagnosis.

Abstract:
Spiritual and religious beliefs and practices in the United States are becoming increasingly diverse. This chapter reviews some of the fundamental problems and obstacles to providing culturally competent and compassionate mental health care to religious and spiritual clients, highlights the recent progress that has been made toward better serving the mental health needs of these clients, and provides a summary of best practices and future directions. Although religious and spiritual individuals continue to be underserved, there is increasing consensus among mental health professionals that religion and spirituality represent important cultural and clinical dimensions associated with treatment outcomes. As such, the field continues to work toward narrowing the gap in service delivery for religious and spiritual individuals seeking psychotherapy.

Abstract:
Physical fitness is increasingly recognized as a crucial and unfortunately diminishing component and contributor to overall biopsychosocial-spiritual well-being. Morbidity and mortality are closely linked to physical inactivity (PI), as are many chronic pain states; furthermore, there are complex and confounding relationships between PI and obesity, sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety, which all mediate chronic pain and other morbidity and mortality in their own right. Physical inactivity is also associated with worsened postoperative outcomes, and a growing body of evidence supports both rationale and effectiveness of improving physical fitness levels prior to surgery for optimal patient and overall system/economic outcomes. Recent evidence indicates that as little as four weeks of mild to moderate but regular physical activity can improve surgical outcomes. As with many if not all lifestyle issues, PI is at its root a biopsychosocial-spiritual issue, and adequate understanding and accommodation of underlying motivational deficits, obstacles and competing factors, and habit factors are essential to supporting patients in improving their fitness for surgery.

Abstract:
Cancer survivors have unique physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health needs. These can include symptoms and side effects associated with cancer and cancer treatment, such as pain, cognitive dysfunction, insomnia, and elevated anxiety and depression. This research brief summarizes a landscape review done for the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to develop a clear, comprehensive understanding of the state of research as of the mid-2000s. We conducted a targeted search strategy to identify projects funded by federal and commercial sources and the American Cancer Society (ACS) in addition to identifying funding opportunities released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We conducted additional review to identify studies focused on symptom and side-effect measures and five priority topic areas (selected by PCORI prior to the review) in the following five databases (from January 2005- through September 2015) with an inclusion criteria in an adapted PICOTS framework (populations, interventions, comparators, outcomes, time frames, and settings). We identified 692 unduplicated studies (1/2005 to 9/2015) and retained 189 studies about cancer symptom and side-effect management. Of these studies, NIH funded 40% and the ACS 33%. Academic institutions, health care systems, other government agencies, and private foundations or industry supported the remainder. We identified critical gaps in the knowledge base pertaining to populations, interventions, comparators (when those are relevant for comparative effectiveness reviews), and outcomes. We also discovered gaps in cross-cutting topics, particularly for patient decision-making studies, patient self-management of cancer symptoms and side effects, and coordinated care.
