“…A study indicated that the nurses were able to identify the patients' spiritual needs and strategies to meet them, but further research is needed since spiritual suffering may manifest as psychological symptoms such as anxiety, anguish, and depression (3) . Spiritual needs are also characterized as being recognized as a person to the end of life, the need for the truth, reinterpreting life, recognizing the meaning of life, hope, and religious expression (19) .…”

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a spiritual care model for patients and their relatives in illness. Methodology: A qualitative study that uses Symbolic Interactionism as theoretical framework, and the Grounded Theory designed by Charmaz as methodological framework. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 10 participants, and the Model was validated by an expertise group, from march to may 2016, at a University Hospital in the South of Brazil. When analyzing the data, the following codifications were made: initial, focalized, axial and theoretical. Results: The categories that structured the Model were the following: Situating spirituality in their daily lives; Exercising spirituality in life; Perceiving the role of the nursing team in spiritual care; Identifying the manifestations of spiritual needs; Placing spirituality as a priority in care and Re- signifying the illness process. Conclusion: Developing the model has enabled us to achieve a conceptual understanding and interpretation of spiritual care in nursing and to draw up the connections among the nursing team, the patients and their relatives.

“…Self‐blame was found positively associated to DR‐ED, providing useful evidence to detect the variables that can lead to a clinically relevant degree of existential distress. Furthermore, end‐of‐life patients, who do not share their illness‐related relevant concerns, are more likely to blame themselves, which can lead to an increased risk of depressive symptoms …”

Objective: To study the relationship between the psychological and spiritual dimensions in adult palliative care. Methods: The data sources used were Medline, Web of Knowledge and Scopus, using the following key concepts: "palliative care" and "psychology" and "spirituality". The search took place 5th December 2017, at 10:20 am, and no articles were excluded based on publication date. Out of a total of 1038 articles found, 65 met the pre-selected criteria and were included in the descriptive qualitative synthesis. Results: Some lack of definitional consensus of spirituality is still evident. Nevertheless, spiritual wellbeing was considered an important component of quality of life, closely related to physical and psychological distress symptoms, therefore highlighting the importance of psychological and psychiatric care in enhancing the wellbeing of palliative care patients. Conclusion: Understanding the interface of the psychological and spiritual dimensions of adult palliative care patients may contribute to a more efficient therapeutic practice. Therefore, training healthcare professionals to improve spiritual support and appropriately addressing these issues should be of great importance in palliative care settings, thus promoting an appropriate response to the patients' needs and dying process.
