“…The study revealed that those who believed in a higher entity and not had any doubts about his existence had less fear of the future. These data confirm those obtained by other authors and show that religious and spiritual beliefs are closely associated with the concept of quality of life, helping the person to maintain hope, and dealing with the uncertainty of the future in a more effective way [20–22]. …”

Cancer is a dreaded disease that affects all dimensions of human life. In this context, issues related to the quality of life—as happiness, perception about health status, or health literacy—are important. This study aims to analyze the following topics the perception: the Portuguese cancer patients have about their health status while undergoing chemotherapy, the satisfaction with the information relating to their health, their level of happiness, and their vision of the future. An observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was developed. Data were collected between May and July 2012 in the day hospital of a central hospital in northern Portugal. The sample was composed of 92 cancer patients who were asked to answer a questionnaire during chemotherapy. The results indicate that, despite this life-threatening disease, patients consider themselves fairly happy and have an optimistic view of the future. Information about their health condition and religious beliefs was important coping mechanisms to help dealing with the suffering caused by the disease. The study highlights the importance of providing care in a holistic way. Nurses must be alert and available to listen, answer questions, provide supporting structures, or refer to other professionals when needed.

“…E neste sentido, Dias & Ribeiro (2014) dizemnos, que o Enfermeiro é o pro ssional de saúde privilegiado pela proximidade de relação com o doente quer em meio hospitalar quer nas UCCI, e por isso deve estar alertado e sensibilizado para o despiste de sinais de desesperança. Também Pinto (2012), defende que o enfermeiro, poderá ser uma peça fundamental na promoção da esperança, ajudando a pessoa a melhorar as crenças que tem nas suas capacidades através de intervenções que se podem revelar muito úteis, nomeadamente: evitar esconder ou disfarçar a verdade, ajudar o doente a estabelecer objetivos realistas, apoiar a revisão de vida e valorizar as conquistas obtidas, envolver a pessoa ativamente nos cuidados e orientar a família na promoção de fatores encorajantes. Perante a complexidade situacional envolvente dos doentes em UCCI, torna-se fundamental que os prossionais de saúde desenvolvam interesse e compreensão acerca da relação entre a esperança e o sentido de vida, uma vez que ambos proporcionam coragem e um estado de "imunidade" que se vai focalizar num futuro com legitimas possibilidades, ainda que nalguns casos breve.…”
