The Map of Meaning and Ageing: A self-reflection guide (Members)
AUD $35.00FREE FOR MEMBERS
ISBN: 978-0-6450582-0-8
The Map of Meaning is an evidence-based framework to help people reflect on meaning in their lives. This book is especially designed for people who are approaching, or in, the years of life when they are ready to engage with the experience of ageing. Many of the ideas are of great use in the years leading up to that time also.
“Thank you for the copy of The Map of Meaning and Ageing. I like the way the book is presented…I like the mix of print and picture/ diagram/ space to record and draw. I have been underlining phrases that I want to remember and jotting down thoughts in spaces provided as I go…. I can see the book being relevant for as long as I live; reviewing what I’ve written and finding greater relevance or cause for reflection as I get older and am no longer working or my circumstances change.” – Pauline

What is the Value of Spiritual Care?
AUD $0.00This resource captures the main themes that appear in literature related to spirituality, spiritual care and its outcomes in the context of community and residential aged care, and beyond. Specifically, we have found the following seven themes:
- Reduced depression, increased cognition, reduced anxiety, reduced loneliness
- Increased wellbeing and resilience
- Positive effects for those who are living with dementia
- Increased health / reduced risk factors
- Better meeting of needs for the care recipient – quality of life, meaning and purpose, dignity, connectedness
- Improved family/client/resident satisfaction
- Important for palliative care and preparation for end of life.
This literature summary is not comprehensive, by nature, and will continue to be updated.
This members-only resource is ideal for service planning, and to use in business cases to garner more support for dedicated initiatives enabling meaning, purpose and connectedness in the lives of older people.
