“…These results may be explained by several factors, including the higher levels of religiosity in the Brazilian nursing students. Previous studies have shown that most religious persons tend to be more prone to address and be aware of patients' spiritual and religious issues (Berg et al., ; Lucchetti et al., ).…”

“…There is a variation in physician beliefs about the relevance of religion/spirituality for patient recovery. 53 In a survey of 2000 practising HCPs, only 1% of them considered that they spend too much time on religiosity/spirituality conversations, 38% that they spend too little time and 61% “the right” amount of time. 54 More specifically, reasons reported by physicians for not addressing spiritual issues include lack of time or training, and difficulty in identifying the patients who would welcome spiritual discussions.…”

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.

“…As noted above, several studies have suggested that most patients want their health care providers to address their R/S concerns . In a survey of 75 patients and 339 cancer physicians and nurses, Phelps et al found that the majority of patients (77.9%), physicians (71.6%), and nurses (85.1%) believed that routine spiritual care would have a positive impact on patients, but that only 25% of patients had previously received spiritual care.…”

Despite the difficulty in clearly defining and measuring spirituality, a growing literature describes its importance in oncology and survivorship. Religious/spiritual beliefs influence patients' decision-making with respect to both complementary therapies and aggressive care at the end of life. Measures of spirituality and spiritual well-being correlate with quality of life in cancer patients, cancer survivors, and caregivers. Spiritual needs, reflective of existential concerns in several domains, are a source of significant distress, and care for these needs has been correlated with better psychological and spiritual adjustment as well as with less aggressive care at the end of life. Studies show that while clinicians such as nurses and physicians regard some spiritual care as an appropriate aspect of their role, patients report that they provide it infrequently. Many clinicians report that their religious/spiritual beliefs influence their practice, and practices such as mindfulness have been shown to enhance clinician self-care and equanimity. Challenges remain in the areas of conceptualizing and measuring spirituality, developing and implementing training for spiritual care, and coordinating and partnering with chaplains and religious communities.
