“…One systematic review 20 , reports the multiple benefits RIME promoted in other populations, such as patients with incurable diseases re-signifying death's symbolic pain; improved QoL during the dying process; ostomized patients experiencing emotional well-being; improved QoL among breast cancer patients with survival chances; improved QoL among patients with head and neck cancer; and bereaved youth re-signifying spiritual pain, resulting in satisfactory feedback on mourning. Authors state that interventions such as relaxing techniques, meditation, and visualization of guided imagery promote spiritual health, improving the individuals' well-being perception, cognitive processes, and mental and physical health, effectively decreasing anxiety and hopelessness [21][22] .…”

Objectives to assess health-related quality of life and resilience among hemodialyzed patients in the city of Porto, Portugal, before and after the Relaxation, Mental Images and Spirituality psychotherapeutic intervention, and identify factors interfering in these patients’ levels of resilience. Method a quasi-experimental study was conducted from November 2018 to April 2019 among 17 patients attending two dialysis centers located in Porto, Portugal. A questionnaire addressing sociodemographic and clinical information was applied together with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form, a resilience scale, and a brief psychotherapeutic intervention. Each patient attended three intervention sessions, and the instruments were applied before and after the intervention. The Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to verify the normality of data, while the Student’s t-test and Wilcoxon test were performed to compare the means, and linear regression was used to identify resilience-associated factors. Results after the intervention, quality of life perception improved in virtually all the scale’s domains, with statistically significant differences in the physical function (p=0.006) and emotional function (p=0.021). The resilience assessment revealed a statistically significant improvement in the post-intervention (p=0.002); linear regression analyses showed that having a religion, other pathologies, or a history of transplant is related to increased resilience levels while taking antidepressants or anti-hypertensive medications negatively affect it. Conclusion the intervention contributed to improving resilience and some domains concerning the patients’ quality of life. Thus, it can be implemented among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Objetivo: descrever as mudanças ocorridas após a inclusão da espiritualidade no tratamento quimioterápico. Materiais e método: trata-se de estudo qualitativo, realizado com 30 pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevista realizada após a inclusão da prática espiritual na quimioterapia. Realizou-se a análise de conteúdo lexical, por meio do software Iramuteq, pelo método de classificação hierárquica descendente. Resultados: evidenciou-se que a inclusão da dimensão espiritual pode trazer uma aproximação com a fé, trazer bons pensamentos, melhorar estados e sentimentos, o que ajuda no tratamento. Houvereconhecimento da importância da inclusão dessa dimensão no cuidado em saúde para garantir a integralidade do cuidado. Conclusões: apesar dos desafios ainda existentes para a abordagem da dimensão espiritual na prática clínica, incluir a espiritualidade no plano terapêutico do paciente pode trazer benefícios para o seu bem-estar e para o enfrentamento da doença.

The development and progression of cancer depends on both tumor micro- and macroenvironments. In addition, psychosocial and spiritual “environments” might also affect cancer. It has been found that the nervous system, via neural and humoral pathways, significantly modulates processes related to cancer at the level of the tumor micro- and macroenvironments. The nervous system also mediates the effects of psychosocial and noetic factors on cancer. Importantly, data accumulated in the last two decades have clearly shown that effects of the nervous system on cancer initiation, progression, and the development of metastases are mediated by the sympathoadrenal system mainly via β-adrenergic receptor signaling. Here, we provide a new complex view of the role of β-adrenergic receptor signaling within the tumor micro- and macroenvironments as well as in mediating the effects of the psychosocial and spiritual environments. In addition, we describe potential preventive and therapeutic implications.
