A framework for investigating spiritual health and wellbeing in Home Economics

Abstract

Spiritual health and wellbeing are accepted as foundations of Home Economics and health education, yet they remain elusive in terms of conceptualisation. This paper explores synergies between Home Economics and contemporary health and education literature to provide a new and unique perspective for exploring spiritual health and wellbeing in research and practice. The purpose of this work is to clarify spiritual concepts so that home economics professionals might have a framework for better understanding taken-for-granted foundations of the field.
