IntroduĆ§Ć£o: A atenĆ§Ć£o Ć espiritualidade e o cuidado espiritual sĆ£o basilares em cuidados paliativos, embora descrito como pouco implementados. Como em outros paĆses, importa conhecer os recursos utilizados para o cuidado espiritual em Portugal. Objetivos: Caracterizar os recursos para o cuidado espiritual nas equipas de cuidados paliativos (CP) portuguesas. Metodologia: Estudo observacional, quantitativo e descritivo. Foi enviado um questionĆ”rio eletrĆ³nico aos profissionais de saĆŗde das equipas de CP portuguesas. O estudo foi aprovado pela comissĆ£o de Ć©tica do Instituto de CiĆŖncias da SaĆŗde da Universidade CatĆ³lica Portuguesa. Resultados: Foram obtidas 150 respostas. Em 68.7% das equipas nĆ£o existe um profissional especĆfico dedicado ao cuidado espiritual e 68% dos participantes consideram que a avaliaĆ§Ć£o ou acompanhamento espiritual faz parte das suas funƧƵes. A maioria dos profissionais creem que os seus colegas de equipa consideram o cuidado espiritual como muito necessĆ”rio (48.7%); 47.3% considera que os seus colegas estĆ£o razoavelmente preparados para desenvolver a avaliaĆ§Ć£o ou acompanhamento espiritual e 54.7% consideram-se razoavelmente envolvidos. Numa perspetiva pessoal, 50.0% dos profissionais acha-se pouco competente para o cuidado espiritual. A maioria refere nĆ£o utilizar nenhum recurso de avaliaĆ§Ć£o ou documento especĆfico (67.3%), nĆ£o utilizar nenhuma escala especĆfica de avaliaĆ§Ć£o de sofrimento/stress emocional ou de necessidade/recurso espiritual (76%), e nem ter dedicado mais de 10% do seu tempo de formaĆ§Ć£o do ano passado em formaĆ§Ć£o especĆfica de espiritualidade (49.3%). ConclusĆ£o: Este estudo envolveu diferentes profissionais das equipas multidisciplinares de diferentes regiƵes portuguesas. A maioria reconhece a importĆ¢ncia da atenĆ§Ć£o Ć espiritualidade e do cuidado espiritual, mas os resultados apelam Ć formaĆ§Ć£o especĆfica e ao uso de recursos e tĆ©cnicas semelhantes em todas as equipas, de modo a facilitar a comparaĆ§Ć£o de indicadores e a promover a implementaĆ§Ć£o efetiva do cuidado holĆstico em cuidados paliativos.
Introduction: Spirituality and spiritual care are critical in palliative care, but described as poorly implemented. As done before in other countries, it is important to know the resources for spiritual care in Portugal. Objectives: To characterize the resources for spiritual care in Portuguese palliative care teams. Methodology: Observational, quantitative and descriptive study. An electronic questionnaire was sent to healthcare professionals who are part of the CP teams in Portugal. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Health Sciences of the Universidade CatĆ³lica Portuguesa. Results: A total of 150 responses was obtained. In 68.7% of the teams there is no specific professional dedicated to spiritual care, and 68% of the participants consider that the spiritual assessment or intervention is included in their role. Main participants value, on a personal level, the meaning of life and believe that colleagues consider spiritual care as very necessary (48.7%); 47.3% consider that their colleagues are reasonably prepared to develop spiritual assessment or follow-up; and 54.7% consider themselves to be reasonably involved. From a personal point of view, 50.0% of professionals consider themselves less competent for spiritual care. The majority refer not to use any specific assessment tool or document (67.3%), to not use any specific scale of emotional suffering / stress or spiritual need / appeal (76%), nor to have dedicated more than 10% of their training time last year in specific education or trainning about spirituality (49.3%). Conclusion: This study involved different professionals from the multidisciplinary teams from different Portuguese regions. Most recognize the importance of attending spirituality and spiritual care, but results lead to the need of specific training, resources and techniques that may be similar in all teams, in order to facilitate comparing indicators and promoting the implementation holistic care in palliative care.
