“…This needs to understand feelings and emotions, as well as the cycle of life, creates a connection between body, mind, culture, spirituality, and the subjective or even objective search for medical and non-medical resources to alleviate pain, anxiety, suffering, fear, and also, in face of the various afflictive existential, economic, loss or disease situations, among others, that life imposes. Nursing care is intrinsically involved and acts in all stages of these experiences, that is, in the maintenance of the homeodynamic balance or in the rebalancing of basic psychobiological, psychosocial, and psychospiritual human needs and their various meanings [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] , which impact the process of caring in an empathetic way, whether cognitive, emotional, or compassionate, using spirituality as a supportive and helpful procedure. The importance of using spirituality in human care goes back to ancient times, when primitive civilizations attributed the power over health and disease to a superior Being, which accompanied the evolution of knowledge of man and care, the latter, today, related to a more humanist assistance, allied with science and technique.…”

“…Thus, spirituality is an old component of the Art and Science of Nursing. In the 1960s and 1970s, Nursing followed the path of theories that sought to explain the harmonic confluence between the art and science of caring for human beings, which are unique, homeodynamic, family members, have beliefs and values, communities, culture, and environment, showing the tendencies and the importance of nurses to recognize the set of psychobiological, psychosocial, and psychospiritual aspects of this being who is the object of their knowledge and work [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] . The psychospiritual aspects of human beings that impacted care [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] as much as those of a physical nature were scarce in the nursing literature at that time, and focused more on the religious practices of the major religions in Western culture to the detriment of spirituality, a human need that today has garnered the interest of several scholars not only in the field of nursing but also of health as a whole [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] .…”

At this point is valid to make some considerations about the basic human need -spirituality, or religious or psychospiritual philosophy, which according to some authors 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] are understood as impulses, tendencies, or fundamental needs coming from the unconscious, such as the need for survival, preservation of the species, and the need to believe in something superior to the limited human condition, specific and inherent to man, which influences the other needs, namely, the psychobiological and psychosocial ones.…”
