Upplevelsen av andlighet bland ungdomar i åldern 14-17 år

Summary This thesis is about how teenagers between the ages of 14-17 years are experiencing spirituality in their everyday life and during their confirmation time. The thesis is a part of the project Andlighet, Spiritualitet,Livsfrågor-You name it! and is about developing methods for social workers, nurses and for people working in health care, who are on a professional level meeting people with spiritual needs and life questions. This thesis takes up the main questions of the following topics; what is spirituality and how it is defined. This thesis also goes through how teenagers experience spirituality in their normal life and how they experience it during their confirmation. The aim with this thesis is to find out how teenagers experience spirituality, and for the thesis to function as a basis for continued work within this same project. The method in this thesis is based on theoretical literature studies and qualitative social research, which means that all literature used in this thesis is critically reviewed. The literature has also been compared to earlier studies and has also been compared to the project`s common goal. The target audience for this thesis is teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 years, who have been divided into two groups, teenagers in general and teenagers who are attending confirmation school. The thesis includes chapters about teenagers’ spiritual experience while they are attending their confirmation-camp, because the experience is unique and very different from the normal day-to-day spiritual experience. The result from this thesis is presented both individually by me and together as a group in the project. The conclusion is that the teenagers’ experience is individual and can be experienced in many ways, for example during confirmation worship.
