“…These attributes refer to sensitive aspects of pain and are associated with actual or potential tissue damage [ 29 ]. Pain is a subjective vital sign, whose intensity is not only related to the painful stimulus that occurs in the human body, but also to the individual’s cognitive and emotional state [ 30 ]. The burning descriptor is generally sensorimotor in nature, while the term suffocating is more associated with the cognitive impact of pain.…”

Spirituality has been identified as an adaptive coping strategy and a predictor of better quality of life in cancer patients. Despite the relevance of spirituality in the health–disease process, it is noted that the assessment of the impact of spirituality in coping with pain is still incipient. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of spirituality in coping with pain in cancer patients. This quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out in a medium-sized hospital and a cancer patient support institution located in northeastern Brazil. A questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical variables was used and the following instruments were applied: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ); Neuropathic Pain 4 Questions (DN4); Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (SWBS); WHOQOL Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB). Most people with no pain had higher scores on the SWBS. Neuropathic pain was identified in 23 patients and was associated with the highest level of spirituality used as a way of coping with pain. As faith increases, pain decreases in intensity by 0.394 points. On the other hand, as inner peace increases, pain increases by 1.485 points. It is concluded that faith is a strategy for coping with pain, in particular neuropathic pain, minimizing its intensity. On the other hand, greater levels of inner peace allow to increase the awareness of the painful sensation. It is expected that these findings may be useful to integrate spirituality care in healthcare facilities as a resource for positive coping for people in the process of becoming ill, contributing to the therapeutic path and favouring a new meaning to the experience of the disease.

“…Rating scales are commonly employed to evaluate peripheral neuropathic pain sensations in individuals, yet these scales lack objective measures. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) serves as an illustrative example of such a scale, which assesses pain in patients undergoing chemotherapy [17] or experiencing neuropathic pain allodynia [18] . A significant challenge in epidemiological studies of allodynia pain is the subjective nature of pain symptoms, which hinders the reliability of validation studies.…”

“…Existe uma variedade de características qualitativas relatadas pelo paciente portador de neoplasia para descrever a dor, existem abordagens de estratégias multidimensionais que proporcionam uma avaliação e um atendimento individualizado por meio da utilização de métodos que avaliam a dor, tanto em seu aspecto quantitativo, quanto qualitativo. O tratamento e o manejo desses pacientes não deve ser uma ação casual engessada, pois existe a necessidade de que a atenção se adeque a assistência oferecida ao paciente oncológico, com o objetivo de garantir o sucesso da terapia ofertada para o controle da dor, principalmente por esse ser um sintoma individual e com múltiplos fatores associados, que pode sofrer variações durante todo o processo assistencial (Ruela, 2017).…”

O controle e alivio da dor no câncer têm sido objeto de preocupação constante da equipe de enfermagem, durante a busca de intervenções que possam diminuir ou evitar alterações de ordem físico-emocional causadas pelo manejo ineficaz da dor, a enfermagem atua inúmeras vezes com o paciente com dor oncológica, percebendo assim que o aumento da ansiedade e do desconforto compromete ainda mais o seu estado geral. Nesse contexto, a responsabilidade de promover alívio da dor e conforto do paciente exige uma precisa avaliação dos aspectos fisiológicos, emocionais, comportamentais e ambientais que desencadeiam ou exacerbam o quadro álgico do paciente. Deste modo, o estudo objetivou compreender como o enfermeiro interpreta o manejo da dor do paciente oncológico. O estudo consistiu de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, baseados em estudos que contenham informações sobre métodos e protocolos que identifiquem como o enfermeiro interpreta o manejo da dor do paciente oncológico. As buscas foram realizadas na BDENF, via BVS, e SCIELO. Foi utilizada como estratégia de busca ao tema abordado a combinação dos seguintes descritores: Assistência de enfermagem, manejo da dor, dor oncológica e terapêutica. Concluiu-se que a equipe de enfermagem requer uma educação bem específica relacionado ao manejo da dor do paciente oncológico, para que os trabalhos propostos alcancem os objetivos formando um pensamento crítico sobre uma parte do seu modelo assistencial desenvolvido na avaliação e manejo da dor oncológica.
