Abstract

It is proposed that individuals who find meaning in their lives experience a higher level of health and wellness. In this paper, research focused on life meaning is described. This program of research includes studies of life meaning from the individual person and/or patient perspective and studies of the meaningfulness of nurses’ professional work life. Translations of the theoretical concepts into research and professional nursing interventions are described.
