Research into Spirituality and Chronic Illness

This study aims to explore spirituality in individuals with chronic illness (i.e. a long-term illness such as hypertension, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, arthritis etc.).  The research is being conducted by Elizabeth Weathers, a nurse and PhD student in University College Cork, under the supervision of Professor Geraldine McCarthy, Emeritus Professor in the School of Nursing and Midwifery.  Persons with a chronic illness, who are aged 18 years or older, are invited to participate in an online survey.  The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete, and includes questions about connection with others, meaning in life, ability to adopt new perspectives in life, and some general questions e.g. age, gender etc.  All responses will be anonymous.   If you are willing to participate, please visit: www.surveymonkey.com/s/MDSpS  For further information, see: http://elizawithers.wix.com/spirituality-study
