These injuries cause profound changes in life and have a negative implication on well-being and quality of life. Spirituality may represent a critical dimension in living and overcoming this condition which usually happens unexpectedly. As so, the healthcare approach considers a holistic paradigm in which individuals are unique and require dignity preserving care. This review aims to identify the spiritual aspects of the experience of adults living with SCI while in the rehabilitation process. Materials and methods This review included qualitative studies focusing on spiritual needs, spiritual responses, or spiritual practices of adults with SCI spinal cord injury while in rehabilitation process.

Study selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, and data synthesis were performed by two reviewers, as the review team was organized in each stage to guarantee independent and blind review. The synthesized fndings were graded according to the ConQual approach for establishing confdence in fndings. Software SUMARI was used to all reviewing process. Results Two synthesized fndings emerged: spiritual coping strategies used by patients living in this condition (related to beliefs and values); spiritual needs are expressed by these patients in diferent phases while in the rehabilitations, such as faith, hope, meaning and purpose.
