Tid och rum : En studie om unga vuxnas syn på kyrkorum som främjare av existentiell hälsa

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay has been to monitor the thoughts and feelings of young adults/adults about the physical church as a space for spiritual health. It has been done with the help of three pictures in A3 format depicting three spaces in different churches where the seven informants were asked to grade the potential for existential health in each space on a scale of 1-10 on eight questions. The eight questions were based on WHO:s eight aspects of spiritual health. They were also asked to rank the churches in order of most to least pleasant. The result was that the two pictures that depicted churches belonging to Svenska kyrkan were ranked high in all questions. Bromma kyrka was the church who five informants found most pleasant and two informants found Adolf Fredriks kyrka most pleasant. Kyrkan vid Brommaplan were always picked as the least pleasant. A reason that the results came out the way they did is that most of the informants had experience in churches like Bromma kyrka och Adolf Fredrik and not so much in churches like kyrkan vid Brommaplan. Many of the informants viewed themselves as cultural Christians and had connections to Svenska kyrkan at some point. That could be a reason behind their ability to read and understand the rooms connected to Svenska kyrkan. As a whole the essay made clear that the informants thought of the pictures of spaces as more good than bad in the spiritual health aspect.
