The increasing population of older Americans raises significant public health challenges, particularly regarding their perceptions of spirituality as a vital resource for health and well-being. This book delves into the definitions and implications of spirituality in the lives of chronically ill elders, exploring its connection to self-management of chronic conditions across gender and race. It addresses critical questions about the nature of spirituality, its relationship with religion, and its role as a health behavior, making it a valuable resource for professionals in gerontology and public health.
