Abstract
Spirituality and spiritual care have been gaining importance in recent
years in occupational therapy education as constructs related to holistic and personcentred
approaches, in order to improve occupational therapy practice. In a South
African context there has been little research carried out on how to integrate
spirituality and spiritual care into occupational therapy education; this area is thus
poorly understood. Increasingly occupational therapy educators, students and
clinicians need guidelines to assist them to integrate spirituality and spiritual care into
occupational therapy education. The main research question addressed in this thesis
is ''How can spirituality and spiritual care guidelines be developed in the context of
occupational therapy education for the purpose of integrating spirituality and spiritual
care into teaching and learning in order to improve occupational therapy practice?''
