Abstract

In this Chap. 1 explore the significance of the findings for the spiritual well-being of older people dependent on formal care. The main focus of this study is an exploration of how the participants attempted to make sense of the significance of reciprocity in their lives, and of their perception that there was a tendency for it to be have been neglected when they had become dependent on others for formal care support. This chapter relating to their interests is therefore significantly larger than the two that follow. Consistent with earlier chapters, the two models described in the introductory chapter are drawn on as explanatory frameworks to make sense of the findings as they relate to social space and relationships, temporality, meaning making at the level of personal spirituality, and meaning making at the level of discourse and institutionalised patterns of power.
