“…While there is extensive Western literature on spirituality/religion in palliative care, the literature from Indonesia is limited. Only four studies could be identified related to spirituality/religion in the general care setting, three studies explored perceptions and attitudes of health‐care professionals toward spirituality (Herlianita, Yen, Chen, Fetzer, & Lin, ; Lucchetti et al ., ; Ramakrishnan et al ., ), and one study measured spirituality in patients with coronary heart disease (Ginting, Naring, Kwakkenbos, & Becker, ). These studies do not provide a picture of spirituality/religious factors in play in the palliative care context.…”

Experiencing life-threatening illness could impact on an individual's spirituality or religious beliefs. In this paper, we report on a study which explored cultural elements that influence the provision of palliative care for people with cancer. A contemporary ethnographic approach was adopted. Observations and interviews were undertaken over 3 months with 48 participants, including palliative care staff, patients, and their families. An ethnographic data analysis framework was adopted to assist in the analysis of data at item, pattern, and structural levels. Religion was identified as central to everyday life, with all participants reporting being affiliated to particular religions and performing their religious practices in their daily lives. Patients' relatives acknowledged and addressed patients' needs for these practices. Staff provided spiritual care for the patients and their relatives in the form of religious discussion and conducting prayers together. An understanding that religious and spiritual practices are integral cultural elements and of fundamental importance to the holistic health of their patients is necessary if health-care professionals are to support patients and their families in end-of-life care.

“…Patients receive palliative care in different cultures and societies; so, despite the commonality of human nature, they will differ in terms of their spirituality, culture and beliefs [32][33][34]. Therefore, different strategies will need to be applied to provide a more effective care for patients.…”

Background Patient-centered care is one of the main components in providing palliative care for cancer patients. This issue has been the subject of numerous studies and practices in nursing for many years. Few studies, however, have explored the perception of nurses about patient-centered treatments. This study aimed at exploring the perception of care-providers about offering patient-centered care to cancer patients. Method For attaining that aim, 18 care-providers were purposefully selected for an interview which allowed the researchers to explore the enriched experiences of these participants about offering patient-centered palliative care to cancer patients. After transcribing the recorded data, analysis was carried out based on Graneheim and Lundman’s method of content analysis. The research was qualitative in nature and conducted in 2019 in Iran. Results From content analysis, 3 main categories; considering patient’s spirituality, maintaining patient’s dignity during care, and reducing patient’s suffering, were found. The essence of these categories reflect on the care-providers’ consideration and effort in “inducing a sense of worthiness” in patients by providing patient-centered care. These categories also reflect on the perspective of care-providers about nurse- patient relationship for providing high qualified palliative care. Conclusion For providing patient-centered care inducing a sense of worthiness in patients, is the most fundamental component in providing palliative care to cancer patients. Therefore, by considering the structures and settings where the care is to be provided in the healthcare system, it is possible to direct the necessary educational, research, and administrative programs related to inducing a sense of worthiness in patients towards providing a more effective palliative care.

“…Meanwhile, the definition of spirituality in Herlianita et al (2018) is as follows: "Spirituality has been identified with three common elements: transcendence, connectedness of self/ others/ nature/ higher power, and meaning in life (Weathers et al 2016). It promotes a personal search for meaning and purpose in life (Beauregard and O'Leary 2007).…”

“…Although spirituality is rooted in a religious experience and emphasizes a relationship with a transcendent superior being, it may or may not be related to religion or religious practices (Tanyi 2002). (Herlianita et al, 2018) Considering this, the author puts Paul Tillich's (1951) study explaining that spirituality and religion is very relevant to motivation, because motivation generally reflects on human's main apprehension, deepest motive and finally giving great potency to human health (Oman, 2018). Therefore, in addition to identifying the cause of disease socioculturally, Religious and Spirituality function as motivator for human's healing with positive effect exerted.…”

The map of Islamic healing is often interpreted based only on the values of Islamic teachings. Some cultural and religious concepts and practices concerning spiritual or supernatural relationships are often ignored because they are contrary to the concept of Islamic teachings. This article analyzes the Islamic healing practiced in the socio-cultural life inherently. The religious space practice in terms of identification, healing and restoration of illness illustrates that the interaction between religion and culture is not rigid in addressing health and humanitarian issues. This article is based on field research at alternative healing in Tuban East Java which elaborated by enrichment of literary texts. The results of this study discuss various types of Islamic-based healing as alternative medicine that spreading in Indonesian culture. This study map analyzes the characteristics of Islamic healing, both Normative Islam and Cultural Islam. Both cannot be ignored as variants of religious and cultural practices in the health context.
