Resumo(s)
A avaliação da espiritualidade em saúde requer instrumentos fiáveis capazes de operacionalizar um constructo complexo, subjetivo e influenciado por fatores existenciais, culturais e religiosos. A espiritualidade ultrapassa os parâmetros biomédicos tradicionais, integrando crenças, valores, práticas religiosas, sentido de vida, esperança e resiliência, assumindo um papel relevante na adaptação à doença e no bem-estar global. Dada a natureza multifacetada deste domínio, a avaliação clínica pode recorrer a escalas específicas de espiritualidade ou a instrumentos que avaliam constructos associados, como religiosidade, coping espiritual e sentido de vida. Em Portugal, nas últimas décadas, foram adaptados e validados diversos instrumentos para diferentes contextos de saúde, incluindo cuidados paliativos, oncologia e cuidados primários. A sua integração na prática clínica favorece a identificação de necessidades espirituais, orienta intervenções ajustadas e promove uma abordagem holística centrada na pessoa.
The assessment of spirituality in health care requires the use of reliable instruments capable of operationalizing an inherently subjective and complex construct. By its nature, spirituality encompasses intimate, existential, and cultural dimensions that go beyond biomedical parameters and are influenced by beliefs, values, religious practices, meaning in life, hope, and resilience. Given its multifaceted character, clinical assessment may rely on instruments specifically designed to measure spirituality, as well as on scales that address related constructs such as religiosity, spiritual coping, spiritual well-being, and meaning in life. In Portugal, over the past two decades, several instruments have been adapted and validated for use in different health care contexts, including oncology, palliative care, primary care, and mental health. The integration of these instruments into clinical practice enables the identification of spiritual needs and distress, guides tailored interventions, and supports a holistic, person-centered approach to care.
