“…Participants with a higher level of spirituality had less intense neuropathic pain. According to Ganasegeran et al [ 34 ], the level of pain tolerance seems to be higher in those who sought spiritual resources. The same authors also noted that patients with neuropathic pain had significantly higher dimensions of spirituality than patients with other types of pain, i.e., muscle, inflammatory and mechanical.…”

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.

“…13 It is associated with clinically significant reduction in blood pressure, improvement of cardiorespiratory function, improvement of immune response, reduction of harmful reactive oxygen species, reduction of stress and anxiety, and improved pain tolerance and self-esteem. [13][14][15][16][17] In Muslim patients, the prayer (solat) incorporates Holy Qur'an recitation while being in a series of positions such as Qiyam and i'tidal (standing), ruku' (bowing) position, sujud (prostrating) position and sitting. 3 For Muslim patients, praying can promote health, speed up recovery, improve coping mechanism and pain tolerance.…”

Introduction: Solat or prayer, as one of the five pillars of Islam, is associated with bio-psycho-social benefits in Muslim patients. Many Muslim patients neglected solat while being hospitalized as they are unaware of the convenience (rukhsoh) available for them. Ibadah Friendly Hospital Courses have been conducted in different states of Malaysia to impart knowledge to the hospital staff who can in turn educate their patients. This study aims to construct a content-validated assessment tool to assess the effectiveness of a state-level Hospital Mesra Ibadah course. Materials and methods:A self-administered questionnaire was constructed and content-validated by a panel of three experts (two religious teachers and one consultant spine surgeon). All 15 questions achieved item-level content validity index (I-CVI) of 1.00 after two rounds of validation. The questionnaires were distributed to participants of a state-level Hospital Mesra Ibadah course to compare the participants' pre-course and post-course test scores.Results: A total of 88 participants (48.9%) were included in this study. There was a significant difference in the pre-course test mean score and post-course test mean score among the participants. There was also a significant reduction of unsure answers after the course. There was no significant association found between the gender, place of work and occupation with the pre-post test score difference. Conclusion:This study demonstrates that the Hospital Mesra Ibadah course is effective in imparting as well as consolidating the knowledge among participants, hence it should be routinely organized to benefit more participants.

“…Berdasarkan hasil analisis pada ke enam jurnal diketahui bahwa spiritualitas yang setiap lansia yang mengalami penyakit kronis berbeda-beda. Pada tiga penelitian yaitu Himawan (2019); Pratiwi et al (2018); Ganasegeran et al (2018), spiritualitas tertinggi yang dibutuhkan oleh lansia dengan penyakit kronis adalah keagamaan (religiosity) (94,23% dan 98%). Hal ini bisa dikarenakan responden dalam kedua penelitian tersebut adalah lansia penderita penyakit kronis yang tinggal di negara yang mayoritas penduduknya adalah beragama Islam sebesar (80%), sehingga hal tersebut lebih mengutamakan agama dan kedekatan dengan Tuhan-Nya di anggap menjadi sebuah kereligiusan seseorang pada saat mengalami suatu penderitaan serta adanya anggapan bahwa sesorang yang sudah berusia lanjut akan lebih dekat dengan kematian.…”
