Abstract
Kellehear's (2000) proposed theoretical model of spiritual care suggests that there is a considerable interaction and overlap between situational, biographical and religious needs and the social and cultural contexts in which people are located. This article reports a study that used a cartographic approach to 'map' understandings of religion and spirituality in a Irish palliative care setting (MacConville 2004). Aspects of religion and spirituality have been explored within a multi-layered Irish cultural setting to reveal a complex landscape - a landscape that is changing but which draws upon the past in shaping the present.
