Measurement of Spiritual Wellbeing in an Australian Hospital Population Using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy
Spiritual wellbeing is known to be a predictor of increased patient coping in hospital settings. Therefore, access to a valid and reliable measure of spiritual wellbeing amongst general hospital patients is highly recommended. The aim of this study was to investigate the dimensionality, reliability, and validity of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Wellbeing scale (FACIT-Sp-12) in a heterogeneous cohort of hospital pa…
Australian Patient Preferences for Discussing Spiritual Issues in the Hospital Setting
While there is high patient acceptance for clinical staff discussing issues regarding spirituality with hospital inpatients, it is not clear which staff member patients prefer for these discussions. This unique exploratory study investigated inpatient preferences regarding which staff member should raise the topic of spirituality. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with inpatients at six hospitals in Sydney, Australia ( n = 897), with a subse…
Australian Patient Preferences for the Introduction of Spirituality into their Healthcare Journey
While patients value engagement concerning their spirituality as a part of holistic healthcare, there is little evidence regarding the preferred way to engage in discussions about spirituality. This study investigated inpatient preferences regarding how they would like spirituality to be raised in the hospital setting. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with inpatients at six hospitals in Sydney, Australia ( n = 897), with a subset invited to…
Music as an embodied experience of Triune symbolism and communion
This article looks at a theological application of participation and analogy in the music of French Twentieth Century composer, Olivier Messiaen, as an illustration of embodied encounter with the Trinity through music. Messiaen’s imagery emphasises relationality and diversity in unity, and the themes of creativity and eternity. Music is presented as an embodied and temporal experience with transcendent potential that is examined through the lens …
Arts on prescription for community-dwelling older people with a range of health and wellness needs
Published evidence for the role of participatory art in supporting health and well-being is growing. The Arts on Prescription model is one vehicle by which participatory art can be delivered. Much of the focus of Arts on Prescription has been on the provision of creative activities for people with mental health needs. This Arts on Prescription program, however, targeted community-dwelling older people with a wide range of health and wellness need…
Tele-touch embodied controllers
This article looks at the use of embodied music controllers for gestural interaction with sound. The technology for embodied interaction involves microchip “enhancement” of the human body, enabling the body as the music controller or musical actuator and connecting the performer with a networked (wireless) sonic performance environment. To examine the ways that the audience and performer respond to this new performance paradigm, this article firs…
Sonic drapery as a folding metaphor for a wearable visualization and sonification display
This article examines two different multimodal interpretations of a folding metaphor, with folding understood as a richly interpretable communication medium. The authors look at the mythological origins of giving voice to fabrics and the tradition in drapery and arts of creating folds to signify embedded meanings. Their projects explore the intertextuality and intermodality of drapery (found originally in painting) as the context for sonic draper…
