Objective: to investigate the use of religious/spiritual coping among people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study of 101 patients undergoing intravenous chemotherapy in an oncology outpatients center in a public hospital in Minas Gerais, made in the first semester of 2011. For data collection, an interview was held, using a questionnaire for characterizing the sample and the Brief Spiritual/Religious Coping Scale.Results: all subjects made use of religious/spiritual coping (mean=3.67; sd=0.37); the younger individuals, those with no religion and those who consider spiritual support unimportant tend to use coping negatively; individuals who would like to receive spiritual support and who participate in support groups for cancer patients, on the other hand, use coping positively. Conclusions: the study reinforces that religious/spiritual coping is an important strategy for coping with cancer, and contributes to an understanding of the same as a useful tool for spiritual care.

The aim of this methodological study was to translate, culturally adapt and assess the internal consistency and validity of the Spanish version of the "Spirituality Questionnaire". The sample comprised 204 young people between 18 and 25 years of age from two universities in Bogotá.Cronbach's Alpha was used for reliability, while groups of experts and young people were used for construct validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for construct validity.The reliability score of the total instrument was 0.88. The overall index of content validity corresponded to 0.90. Exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors explain 52.60% of the variance. The originally proposed theoretical model was confirmed and, in two dimensions, a different structure was proposed. In conclusion, the instrument "Spirituality Questionnaire" by Parsian and Dunning is reliable and valid in the Spanish version.Descriptors: Spirituality; Questionnaires; Validity of Tests; Young Adult. 1 This research was supported by Division de Investigacion de la Sede Bogotá de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (DIB 11921).Paper extracted from Doctoral Dissertation "Autotrascendencia espiritualidad y bienestar en adultos emergentes universitarios no consumidores y consumidores moderados de alcohol, aportes desde la promoción de la salud" presented to Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Similarly, it has been described as a protective factor against alcohol abuse in the young adult population (6)(7)(8) . It is important to appoint that, in research, spirituality has been addressed from two perspectives. The first focuses on religion, religiosity and religious practices and commitments. The second approach reconstructs spirituality in a perspective that adopts a broader view of God, including the values and principles that gives meaning and purpose to life (9) .In the later, an instrument is available, developed in Australia, which focuses on the spirituality concept based on the internal identity, the meaning of life and young people's connection with themselves and with a higher ...

“…Os conceitos de religião e espiritualidade podem estar ligados ao cotidiano das pessoas, mas divergem entre si, ou seja, a espiritualidade, a priori, não necessita de doutrina religiosa, uma vez que pode ser definida como algo abstrato no interior do ser humano, visto que as pessoas, ao expressarem amor, serem solidárias ao outro e viverem em harmonia com a comunidade, já se tornam espiritualizadas (2) ; já a religião relaciona-se às instituições, onde as pessoas expressam suas crenças e seguem suas doutrinas, no sentido de encontrar respostas que darão sentido à vida (3) .…”

Neste estudo, objetivou-se analisar as limitações e potencialidades da influência do líder religioso/espiritual diante de pacientes com neoplasias mamárias.Trata-se de pesquisa do tipo exploratória predominantemente qualitativa, embasada metodologicamente no Materialismo Histórico Dialético. Foram realizadas entrevistas com base em roteiros semiestruturados com 19 mulheres diagnosticadas com neoplasia mamária e acompanhadas por um serviço de oncologia de referência analisadas através da técnica de análise de discurso. A partir das contradições existentes foi possível construir uma categoria analítica intitulada “Líder religioso/espiritual: limitações e potencialidades de sua influência no enfrentamento das neoplasias mamárias” e três categorias empíricas:“Medidas terapêuticas proporcionadas pelos líderes religiosos/espirituais para as mulheres enfrentarem o processo neoplásico mamário”;“Alternativas terapêuticas de cura motivadas pelos líderes religiosos/espirituais diante das mulheres com neoplasias mamárias”; e “Ausência do líder religioso/espiritual no enfrentamento das neoplasias mamárias”.O desafio para superar as limitações e potencialidades da influência dos líderes religiosos/espirituais pode convergir para o estímulo das terapias complementares no ambiente hospitalar complementando o tratamento alopático, principalmente no contexto oncológico.
