Answer:

Spiritual factors

Explanation:

Illnesses are perceived to be as a result of several factors. Some people perceive illness as a supernatural element that is caused bu God/Allah, supernatural human agents or demons, and the spirits of nature. Some others believe that illnesses are natural and are caused by poverty, environmental factors, psychological and biological factors. And there are others who believe illnesses are caused by the society which include when someone violates some social taboos, family support experiences and others. For the elder client to believe "diseases occurs when supernatural elements enter the body," then she views illnesses from a spiritual point of view.
