Abstract(s)
A Espiritualidade é visível e experimentada na forma de vida, nas ideias, opiniões e opções que a pessoa toma em cada momento da sua vida. Em Cuidados Paliativos, a espiritualidade assume ainda maior relevo. Apesar de, em Portugal e em todo o mundo, ser ainda escassa a acessibilidade aos Cuidados Paliativos, é essencial que continuem a ser promovidos e desenvolvidos, para que todo o ser humano possa viver, até que a morte chegue, e para que nesse viver todas as suas dimensões, incluindo a espiritualidade, possam ser atendidas e cuidadas. O objetivo desta revisão foi compreender as experiências, perspetivas e perceções dos profissionais de saúde na prestação de cuidado espiritual a adultos em cuidados paliativos. Esta revisão da literatura seguiu a metodologia do Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), com uma estratégia de dois passos. Incluiu estudos qualitativos, tais como estudos fenomenológicos, etnográficos, grounded theory ou estudos descritivos, não limitada aos mesmos. Foram incluídos 4 estudos obtidos nas bases de dados MEDLINE (via Pubmed) e Scopus, sendo extraídos 23 achados inequívocos, organizados em 4 categorias. Concluiu-se que a Espiritualidade é uma dimensão basilar do cuidado em Paliativos. Os profissionais de saúde entendem que a avaliação, a documentação e a referenciação são elementos significativos nos cuidados espirituais, e que o cuidado espiritual implica criar conexão com a pessoa doente, saber comunicar e consolar, permitindo a pessoa adaptar-se ao processo de doença ameaçadora de vida e preparar a sua morte.
Spirituality is visible and experienced in the way of life, in the ideas, opinions, and choices a person makes at every moment of their life. In Palliative Care, spirituality takes on even greater significance. Although access to Palliative Care is still limited in Portugal and around the world, it is essential that it continues to be promoted and developed, so that every human being can live until death arrives, and all their dimensions, including spirituality, can be addressed and cared for during that time. The aim of this review was to understand the experiences, perspectives, and perceptions of healthcare professionals in providing spiritual care to adults in palliative care. This literature review followed the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), using a two-step strategy. It included qualitative studies such as phenomenological, ethnographic, grounded theory, or descriptive studies, among others. Four studies were included, obtained from the MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Scopus databases, resulting in 23 clear findings, organized into four categories. It was concluded that spirituality is a fundamental dimension of palliative care. Healthcare professionals understand that assessment, documentation, and referral are significant elements in spiritual care, and that spiritual care involves creating a connection with the patient, knowing how to communicate and console, allowing the person to adapt to the life-threatening illness process and prepare for their death.
