我们的目的是调查从拉丁美洲不同地区移民到美国的老年人群体中灵性与维持大脑健康和健康衰老的关系的概念化方式，以便最终开发出适合文化的大脑健康促进方法。我们使用半结构化访谈进行了定性研究。参与者是从社区中心和大型学术医疗中心的记忆护理中心招募的。我们采访了 30 名 60 岁以上的西班牙语移民。问题涉及有关大脑、衰老和痴呆症的观点。采访是根据主题进行编码的。主题分析用于分析参与者的反应。我们确定了5个主题：（1）为身心健康向上帝表达感谢；（2）将生与死的责任交在上帝手中；（3）利用教堂作为社交和建立社区的场所，作为健康生活方式的一种方式；（4）利用祈祷作为灵魂和大脑的滋养；（5）因与上帝的联系而获得内心的平和与平静，从而保持健康的生活。结合定制的精神干预措施可能是提高大脑健康促进工作有效性的一种机制。
We aimed to investigate ways in which spirituality was conceptualized in relationship to maintaining brain health and healthy aging in a cohort of older adults who immigrated to the United States from diverse regions of Latin America, in order to ultimately develop culturally-tailored brain health promotion approaches. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited from community centers and by a memory care center at a large academic medical center. We interviewed 30 Spanish-speaking immigrants over age 60. Questions addressed perspectives about the brain, aging, and dementia. Interviews were coded for themes. Thematic analysis was used to analyze participants’ responses. We identified 5 themes: (1) expressing gratitude to God for mental and physical health, (2) putting the onus of life and death in God’s hands, (3) using church as a place to socialize and build community as an approach to leading a healthy lifestyle, (4) using prayer as nourishment for the soul and the brain, and (5) gaining inner-peace and calm, and thus maintaining a healthy life, due to a connection with God. The incorporation of customized spiritual interventions may be a mechanism by which to increase the effectiveness of brain health promotion efforts.
