Drawing insights from Dr. Jonaid M. Sadang&rsquo;s Need-Threat Internal Resiliency Theory, this paper advances current understanding by highlighting spiritual coping not merely as a supportive practice but as a central mechanism that transforms perceived threats into adaptive and stabilizing responses. This perspective fills a gap in existing literature, which often overlooks the lived experiences of older adults and the integrative role of spirituality in their resilience. The findings underscore the need for culturally responsive interventions and policies that incorporate spiritual support into community and healthcare practices, ultimately promoting holistic well-being and strengthening older adults&rsquo; capacity to withstand future health crises.</span></span></span></span></div> Need-threat, internal resiliency, older adults, emerging health emergencies, nursing 0 0 http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1176-6&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Jonaid Sadang jonaid.sadang@msumain.edu.ph 100319475328460014839 100319475328460014839 Yes Mindanao State University-Marawi (Main Campus), Marawi City, Philippines.
