A presente tese apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que teve por objetivo estudar a competência para o cuidado espiritual em Enfermagem. Competência que não se traduz numa aquisição de conhecimentos, mas que abrange um horizonte mais vasto. Neste estudo, a metodologia que utilizámos para analisar as relações estabelecidas entre algumas variáveis sócio-demográficas, com as competências para o cuidado espiritual e com o índice de inteligência espiritual nos enfermeiros, foi transversal. Efectuámos um estudo correlacional e inferencial através da análise da regressão. Participaram no estudo 546 enfermeiros, com idades entre 22 a 65 anos. Foram aplicadas as escalas: Religião e Religiosidade de Quaresma; Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) de Leeuwen que traduzimos/validamos e adaptamos para a Língua Portuguesa; The Spiritual Intelligence Self. Report Inventory (SISRI-24) de King que traduzimos/ validamos e adaptámos para a Língua Portuguesa. Com a utilização destes instrumentos de medida pretendemos conhecer a realidade dos enfermeiros portugueses no que diz respeito aos cuidados espirituais. No final do estudo constatámos que um maior índice de inteligência espiritual, um maior tempo de exercício profissional, o aumento da idade do enfermeiro, a pertença a uma religião, ter tido formação, nesta área, seja ela académica ou não, resulta numa maior competência para a prestação de cuidados espirituais. Enfatizamos que o cuidar em Enfermagem numa visão holística, olhando a totalidade da pessoa e não só a soma das partes, confere a possibilidade de uma prestação de cuidados globais, com os quais a pessoa poderá recuperar não só a sua saúde, como também muito da sua dignidade, pelo que não podemos omitir a dimensão espiritual do ser.
The present thesis shows the results of an investigation aimed at studying the skill for spiritual care in Nursing practice. This skill does not result in knowledge acquisition, it embraces a wider horizon instead. In this study, the methodology we used to analyse the relations established between some socio-demographic variables, the skills for spiritual care and the spiritual intelligence index in nursing staff was transversal. We conducted a correlational and inferential study using regression analysis. 546 nurses participated in the study, aged between 22 and 65 years. The following scales were applied: Religion and Religiosity by Quaresma; Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS), by Leeuwen, which we translated, validated and adapted into Portuguese; The Spiritual Intelligence Self Report Inventory (SISRI-24), by King, translated, validated and adapted into Portuguese. Using these measuring instruments, we intend to know the reality of Portuguese nurses regarding spiritual care. At the end of the study we saw that a higher spiritual intelligence index, a longer professional practice, the increase in the nurse’s age, the belonging to a religion and also having been trained in this area, whether academical or not, results in a higher skill to provide spiritual care. We emphasise that taking care in Nursing in a holistic view, taking into account the person as a whole and not only the sum of the parts, grants the possibility of providing global health care, with which a person can recover not only his health, but also much of his dignity; so, we can not overlook the spiritual dimension of the human being.
