    Abstract The interest in the topic of spirituality as a more or less independent dimension of quality of life is continuously growing, and research questions are beginning to change as the field of religiosity changes, becoming more diverse and pluralistic. Addressing new topics in health research also relies on standardized questionnaires. The number of instruments intended to measure specific aspects of spirituality is growing, and it is particularly difficult to evaluate the new instruments. This Special Issue will focus on some of the established instruments (updating them to different languages and cultures), but will also describe the features and intentions of newly-developed instruments, which may potentially be used in larger studies to develop knowledge relevant to spiritual care and practice. This Special Issue will serve as a resource on the instruments used to study the wide range of organized religiosity, the individual experience of the divine, and an open approach in the search for meaning and purpose in life

    Abstract Why do we need more questionnaires to measure aspects of spirituality/religiosity when we already have so many well-tried instruments in use? One answer is that research in this field is growing and that new research questions continuously do arise. Several of these new questions cannot be easily answered with the instruments designed for previous questions. The field is expanding and, consequently, the research topics. Meanwhile several multidimensional instruments were developed which cover existential, prosocial, religious and non-religious forms of spirituality, hope, peace and trust—and several more. The ‘disadvantage’ of these instruments is the fact that some are conceptually broad and often rather unspecific, but they might be suited quite well for culturally and spiritually diverse populations when the intention is to compare such diverse groups. This is the reason why more research on new instruments is needed as can be found in this Special Issue, and to stimulate a critical debate about their pros and cons

  3. Article: Spiritual Experiences, Attitudes, and Behaviors of Yoga Practitioners: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Study in Germany.

    Abstract The present study aimed to analyze the extent to which yoga practitioners (n = 784) live by their faith/spirituality and how this influences their perceived prosocial behaviors. For that purpose, the model of transformational spirituality was applied. This model assumes that people who experience the sacred in their lives change their attitudes and behaviors and take responsibility in the world. Data from this cross-sectional anonymous online survey with standardized questionnaires (e.g., Franciscan-Inspired Spirituality Questionnaire, Awe/Gratitude Scale, World Health Organization Five Well-Being Index) showed that for most of the enrolled yoga practitioners, yoga is a conscious way of life and a path of spiritual development. Thus, they search for the Divine in the world, live in accordance with their spiritual convictions, and regard their faith/spiritual convictions as an orientation in their lives. Moreover, they score highly on peaceful attitudes and respectful treatment of others, and on commitment to disadvantaged people and the environment. Although the frequency of asana (postural) or pranayama (breathwork) practices was only marginally related to the indicators of spirituality, the frequency of meditation and studying the philosophical background of yoga was weakly to moderately related to Spiritual Experiences, Awe/Gratitude, and Living by Faith. Respondents' well-being was best predicted by experiential aspects of spirituality, inner congruence/emotional involvement with yoga, and with yoga seen as a spiritual path (R2 = 0.21). Regression analyses (R2 = 0.32) further showed that participants' inner congruence with yoga practices could best be predicted by the experiential aspects of spirituality and, to a lesser extent, by the frequency of asana practices, duration of yoga practice, and Peaceful Attitude/Respectful Treatment. The core dimension of faith and the related experiential aspect of spirituality were thus crucial for the ways the enrolled yoga practitioners behave in the world and interact with others and the environment.

    Title translation Welche Behandlungsoptionen wurden von COVID-19-infizierten Yogaübenden als hilfreich empfunden? Ergebnisse einer Querschnittsanalyse.
    Abstract Einführung: Die meisten COVID-19 Infizierten machen die Infektion im häuslichen Umfeld durch und werden vermutliche Maßnahmen zur Symptomlinderung anwenden, die aus dem Bereich der Selbstverordnung kommen. Von Interesse ist daher, welche Maßnahmen von COVID-19-Infizierten genutzt werden. Methoden: Anonyme Querschnittsanalyse, bei der die eigenen Behandlungsoptionen in Bezug zu acht Haupt-symptomen mit Hilfe von Freitextfeldern erfasst und kategorisiert werden. Einbezogen wurden Datensätze von Yoga-übenden als spezifische Zielgruppe, die sich in den Zeiträumen der drei dominanten Virus-Varianten infiziert hatten (n = 208: 89% Frauen; Altersmittel 49 ± 11). Die Aussagen wurden deskriptiv dargestellt und die Inhalte der Freitextfelder nach inhaltsanalytischen Gesichtspunkten kategorisiert und den jeweiligen Hauptsymptomen einer COVID-19-Infektion zugeordnet. Ergebnisse: In Bezug auf die acht Symptomgruppen ergab sich ein differenziertes Bild der als hilfreich empfundenen Behandlungsoptionen. Die meisten Nennungen hatte die Kategorie Zeit/Ruhe/Schlaf, insbesondere bei Schwäche/Erschöpfung und Rumpf-/Gliederschmerzen, gefolgt von Atemübungen (Pranayama), die insbesondere bei Atemnot/Kurzatmigkeit und Husten zur Anwendung kamen. Yogaübungen wurden insbesondere bei Rumpf-/Gliederschmerzen sowie Schwäche/Erschöpfung genutzt. Die konventionelle Schmerzmedikation stand bei Kopfschmerzen sowie Rumpf-/Gliederschmerzen im Vordergrund. Bewegung an der frischen Luft und Spaziergänge zur Regeneration waren relevant bei Schwäche/Erschöpfung, Atemnot/Kurzatmigkeit sowie Husten. Phytotherapeutische Anwendungen waren insbesondere bei Husten bedeutsam. Ätherische Öle und Riechtraining hatten ihren Schwerpunkt bei Geruchs-/Geschmacksstörungen und Husten. Schlussfolgerungen: In Bezug auf das angewendete Spektrum der unterstützenden Therapieoptionen im Sinne des Selbstmanagements wurden einige sehr häufig und differenziert angewendet. Hier könnte man eine subjektiv empfundene "Nützlichkeit" annehmen. In der Literatur lassen sich für einige dieser Optionen auch Hinweise für eine mögliche Wirksamkeit finden, für andere nicht ohne weiteres. Diese unterstützenden Therapieoptionen könnten außerdem eine Möglichkeit sein, um einer abwar-tenden Hilflosigkeit proaktiv entgegenzuwirken.
    Introduction: Most COVID-19-infected people deal with the infection in their home setting and will thus presumably use symptom-relieving measures chosen from the self-prescribing realm. It is therefore of interest which treatment options are used by COVID-19-infected people.
    Methods: Anonymous cross-sectional analysis, in which individual treatment options are recorded with free text fields. These were subsequently categorized in relation to eight main symptom groups. Data sets from yoga practitioners were included as a specific target group, who had been infected during the periods of the three dominant virus variants (n = 208: 89% women; mean age 49 ± 11). Data were presented descriptively and the content of the free text fields was categorized according to content analysis aspects and assigned to the respective main symptoms of a COVID-19 infection.
    Results: With regard to the eight symptom groups, a differentiated picture of the treatment options found to be helpful emerged. The category time/rest/sleep had the most mentions, especially in the case of weakness/exhaustion and pain in the trunk/limbs, followed by breathing exercises (pranayama), which were used in particular for shortness of breath and cough. Yoga exercises were used in particular for trunk/limb pain and weakness/exhaustion. Conventional pain medication was in the forefront for headaches and trunk/limb pain. Exercise in the fresh air and walks for regeneration were relevant for weakness/exhaustion, shortness of breath and cough. Phytotherapeutic applications were particularly important for coughs. Essential oils and olfactory training were used on affected smell/taste and coughs.
    Conclusions: With regard to the spectrum of supportive therapy options used in the sense of self-management, some were used very frequently and in a differentiated manner. Here one may assume a subjectively perceived “usefulness.” Indications of a possible effectiveness can be found in the literature for some of these options, but not so easily for others. These supportive therapy options could also be a way to proactively counteract wait-and-see helplessness.

    Abstract Was, wenn jemand so schwer und komplex krank ist, dass seine Versorgung im vertrauten häuslichen Umfeld nicht mehr alleine von den Angehörigen und dem jeweiligen Hausarzt bzw. Hausärztin gewährleistet werden kann? Muss er oder sie dann in der palliativen Situation in eine stationäre Pflegeinrichtung oder, wenn die Grunderkrankung zu weit fortgeschritten ist, in ein Hospiz? Auch wenn er oder sie das vielleicht gar nicht will?
