Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the relationship between religion or spirituality and quality of life for veterans living with service-connected disabilities. As a descriptive survey research study rooted in a strengths based perspective and person-centered theory, a non-random convenience sampling method was utilized to obtain 26 eligible participants. The researcher used a survey instrument to measure the participants’ perspectives on religion or spirituality and how these impacted their quality of life. Data analysis revealed that many disabled veterans identify religion or spirituality as a source for improving their quality of life. However, these results were not statistically significant and further research will be needed to determine how religion or spirituality can be implemented in social work interventions as a resource for disabled veterans who wish to improve their quality of life. Implications for social work practice and policy are discussed.
