Spirituality and Young Women in Transition: A Preliminary Investigation
Livingston, Kimberly A.; Cummings, Anne L.
Counseling and Values, v53 n3 p224 Apr 2009
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge about spirituality and life transitions. Through qualitative investigation, 9 young women in professional education programs described their definition of spirituality, their spiritual activities, and how they used their spirituality to cope with life transitions as they prepared to enter the workforce. These women viewed spirituality as including connectedness and a special relationship with a Being outside of themselves. Their spiritual activities were private and nontraditional (e.g., meditation, prayer, being in nature), and most of them reported that their spirituality helped them deal with their life transition.
