Spirituality/religiosity of man from the perspective of quality of life – a review of Polish research in social studies
Journal Title: Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Research into the spirituality/religiosity of patients is considered as an important area of study, together with studies of quality of life (QoL).The purpose of this article was to recognise if and how the category of spirituality/religiosity is regarded from a QoL perspective. To reach this goal, a review of Polish research in various fields of social sciences (psychology, sociology, pedagogy) was conducted. The scope of these studies was determined and indicators of spirituality/religiosity were explored from the viewpoint of various theories with special emphasis on those relating to the QoL.
