“…18 On the other hand, spirituality is not linked to a particular doctrine and, in health care terms, it mainly constitutes an adaptive/coping mechanism. 22 In particular, spiritual coping refers to a constant adaptation of an individual’s efforts, either on cognitive or behavioral grounds, to manage stressful events or conditions. 23 Thus, patients with strengthened spirituality are able to use various coping and adaptive strategies such as plan-based problem-solving, distancing, positive reappraisal, self-control and accepting social support, among many others.…”

Here,we report on the role of spirituality assessment in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although a positive effect of addressing spirituality in health care has been proved in a number of chronic diseases, its potential in COPD has received less attention. Although limited, available evidence suggests that spirituality may play an important role in improving quality of life of patients with COPD. The fruitful results in other long-term conditions may lay the foundation for further research on addressing spirituality in COPD. This should focus where the burden of COPD is greatest, including low-resource settings globally. Implementation research should include exploration of an acceptable consultation process to identify patients who would welcome spiritual discussions; how to integrate spiritual approaches into health care professional curricula so that they are aware of its importance and have the confidence to raise it with patients and how to integrate spiritual approaches into holistic COPD care.

“…Listening and support were identified as valuable spiritual interventions, consistent with the nursing literature. Baumann and Englert (2003) make a case for the nurse to be a good listener to oncology patients with spiritual concerns. Forbes and Rosdahl (2003) discuss dying patients' visions of bright lights, spiritual beings, and loved ones and note the need for the nurse to support the patient and the family when these phenomena occur.…”

Eighteen participants in a rural Appalachian community were interviewed to learn about their mystical experiences in the context of health care. Semistructured interviews addressed factors initiating mystical experience and essential qualities of mystical experience. Nursing process and the nurse's response were examined. Data were analyzed using the immersion/crystallization method and concept mapping. Mystical experience was conceptualized as a process incorporating initiation, occurrence, maturation, and integration of mystical experience. Essential qualities included sensory-motor perception, interaction with the supernatural, interaction with family members, conviction of reality, cognition, dynamic tension and emotional intensity. Nursing interventions included listening and support. Subjective nursing responses included tension, intimacy and empathy, sense of awe, autonomic responses, and appreciation of the mystical in everyday life. Various stressors are associated with mystical experience. Patients having mystical experiences may benefit from nursing support.
