Does the spirituality of nurses interfere in the record of spiritual suffering diagnosis?

Abstract

Objectives: To assess the spirituality of nurses and relate it to personal characteristics, sector of activity, and spiritual practices; to analyze the influence of spirituality of nurses in the record of a "spiritual suffering" diagnosis. Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional study, using the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Instrument-Spirituality, Religion and Personal Beliefs Module (WHOQOL-SRPB). Results: 132 nurses were included and most of them were women (81.8%), married (56.8%), with an average age of 34 years (± 6.8). Most nurses believe in God or in a superior force (99.2%) and have never recorded a "spiritual suffering" diagnosis (78.8%). There was no association of spirituality with the sector of activity; the variable "marital status" was significant in six out of the eight factors of spirituality, and the variable "willingness to talk about spirituality" was significant in seven out of the eight factors. Conclusion: The spirituality of nurses does not interfere with the recording of a "spiritual suffering" diagnosis.

Nursing diagnosis “Terminality Syndrome”: a content analysis

“…This corroborates findings in the literature that indicate that even if instruments exist to carry out the assessment of spiritual distress, its identification is often performed, or should be, based on the professionals' individual critical sense (19) . It is essential that nurses know how to incorporate spiritual practice in their practice, since they must act from a holistic perspective, not ignoring this dimension (20) .…”

Terms of specialized nursing language for chronic renal patients undergoing conservative treatment

“…However, terms of virtue indicators such as "Spirituality", "Empathy" and "Faith" were found and reflect the concern that these themes have on the person, which resumes the importance of developing nursing diagnoses and interventions based on these terms, once that the nurse seeks to find options that contribute to better control and a harmonious coexistence with the disease, since the negative physical, social and economic impacts perceived in the disease also cause consequences in the sense of life. In studies, the scenario of low frequency of psycho-emotional diagnoses in medical records has shown that care provided by nurses is still very much focused on a medical-centered model (37) . Therefore, it is necessary that nursing actions, based on their care instrument, give value to the issues surrounding the psychosocial experiences of individuals with chronic kidney disease and their approximation in their social support network, whether family or community.…”

O cuidado espiritual realizado pela enfermagem na unidade de terapia intensiva

“…Além disso, ajudam também na ampliação da sensibilidade para perceber as necessidades espirituais dos pacientes (Dezorzi et al, 2008). Os profissionais de enfermagem estão preparados para identificar tais necessidades, mas primeiramente eles precisam estar preparados para identificar as suas próprias necessidades, e assim poder realizar as ações de cuidado espiritual para com o outro (Ienne et al, 2018). Azarsa et al (2015) apontam que o bem estar espiritual entre os enfermeiros está diretamente correlacionado ao aumentando da atitude positiva em relação à espiritualidade e ao cuidado espiritual na enfermaria de UTI.…”

“…Azarsa et al (2015) apontam que o bem estar espiritual entre os enfermeiros está diretamente correlacionado ao aumentando da atitude positiva em relação à espiritualidade e ao cuidado espiritual na enfermaria de UTI. Corroborando com esta pesquisa, Ienne et al (2018) mostram que enfermeiros que apresentavam maior conexão espiritual em momentos difíceis lidam melhor com o estresse, sentem-se confortados e bem no dia-dia devido à contribuição da fé. Estes fatores estão relacionados com a vontade de conversar sobre espiritualidade com o paciente.…”

“…Dada a sua importância, ela foi adicionada ao conceito multidimensional em saúde, juntamente com as dimensões físicas, psicológicas e sociais, pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) no final da década de 90 (Júnior et al, 2015). A espiritualidade está associada à qualidade de vida geral dos indivíduos, enfatizando o benefício e a importância da sua inserção para o cuidado dos usuários que se encontram em diversas condições de saúde (Ienne et al, 2018); sendo também apontada no aumento da sobrevida, diminuição da prevalência de doenças e aumento do autocuidado. Já a espiritualidade vivenciada de forma negativa pode vir associada a desfechos prejudiciais à saúde (Moreira-Almeida e Lucchetti, 2016).…”
