Meeting Spiritual Needs as a Part of Tutoring in Education for the Elderly

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter focuses on the theme of spiritual needs and sources for their fulfilment in the elderly person’s daily life. Based on the results of the Spiritual Needs in the Life of South Bohemian Elderly study, there are presented five spiritual needs that appear to be primary. They are the need for an awareness of one’s own dignity and value, the need for meaning and continuity of life story, the need for faith and trust, the need for hope and purpose, and the need to receive and to give love. With regard to these links, it is possible to demarcate some aspects of communication in a small group of elderly or an individual. A condition of tutoring is respect for the elderly person’s life experiences. The tutor should offer time and a safe environment to the older learners, not only for sharing their life stories but also for any issues that might help with their self-development. Active listening enables the tutor to detect the needs that the elderly wants to fulfill through education. The tutor should always respect the uniqueness of a specific person’s life story and his psycho-spiritual development, to listen actively, thus increasing his understanding in the areas that might be difficult for the elderly and at the same time his understanding of sources of energy and strength that helps them to manage these difficulties. A positive relationship with the tutor, based on mutual understanding, is for the elderly a crucial factor for motivation to continue with learning and also is a source for fulfilling many principal needs. However, the tutor should never develop a relationship based on dependence but, on the contrary, should support the elderly in developing their own sources and potential for managing old age and its key tasks, motivate the participants to incorporate the findings into their life stories and, finally, should support the elderly in their own roles of tutor-guides of the younger generations on their own path of aging.
