Résumé: | Spirituality permeates our land, our waters, and our people; it is inherent in Māori culture, often explicit for new migrants, but frequently ignored or tokenistically acknowledged in mainstream culture. Older New Zealanders are a pluralistic population, often fiercely secular, with a small but active religious population. How we now treat our elders requires work, needs careful consideration, and vision. As a country, New Zealand has embraced the notion of ‘well-being’, with the first ‘well-being budget’ announced in 2019. But well-being, or hauora as it is known for Māori, is incomplete without spirituality. This paper examines the place of spirituality, based on understandings and observations grounded in the New Zealand context, which comprises four interrelated areas: zeitgeist, scope and definitions, models, and evidence. We suggest this framework is a useful approach to examining what can be an ineffable personal experience and challenge to society’s provision of aged care and healthy ageing. |
