Latino,e limitinge thee resultse frome beinge generalizede toe othere racese (Gallegos,e 2019).e Anothere
study,e usinge similare measuremente scalese one spiritualitye ande loneliness,e thate wase donee one malee
ande femalee collegee studentse founde thate spiritualtye dide helpe withe loneliness,e againe supportinge
thate spiritualitye ande lonelinesse aree correlatede (Bokaie,e 2017).e Sincee ite wase founde thate oldere
womene weree moree lonelye thane oldere mene ande thate spiritualitye cane helpe withe loneliness,e moree
detailede studiese neede toe bee donee (Dahlberg,e 2014,e Bokaie,e 2017).
Sincee ite cane bee founde thate spiritualitye doese trulye helpe withe mentale healthe issuese likee
loneliness,e thene newe methodse ofe treatmente thate focuse moree one spiritualitye cane helpe thosee

detailse ofe thee participantse (maritale status,e age,e ande race)e whoe identifye ase femalee cane possiblye
seee ae changee ine thee resultse ofe thee study.e Thee resultse maye finde similare correlationse likee thee othere
studiese mentionede here,e givinge moree supporte thate highe spiritualitye levelse cane predicte lowere
levelse ofe loneliness.e
