“…Two articles mentioned a theoretical approach [41,47] which included the ethical theory of caring [55] and personhood, and the ethics of dementia care [56,57]. Five studies explored the theme of characterizing spiritual needs, including preferences, resources, and approaches to and support for spiritual needs [40][41][42][43]48].

Spiritual Needs of Older Adults Living with Dementia: An Integrative Review

et al. 2023

Older adults living with dementia experience progressive decline, prompting reliance on others for spiritual care and support. Despite a growing interest in studying persons living with dementia (PLwDs), empirical evidence on the spiritual needs of PLwDs has not been synthesized. Using the Whittemore and Knafl method, this integrative review examined the literature from 2000 to 2022 on the spiritual care needs of PLwDs. We sought to identify characteristics of the spiritual needs of PLwDs and ways to address them. The ATLA Religion, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Socindex databases were used to search the literature, and 12 peer-reviewed articles met the inclusion criteria. Spiritual care needs varied across studies. Overall, findings support the importance of identifying PLwDs’ religious and spiritual backgrounds to inform person-centered care. Spiritual needs were identified as verbal and non-verbal expressions related to past meaning and religious and spiritual background and were not consistently addressed in care. Providers reported observing spiritual distress in the mild stage prompting the need for spiritual care. There is a great need for dementia-specific spiritual assessment tools and spiritual care interventions to support spiritual well-being in dementia care. Spiritual care involves facilitating religious rituals and providing spiritual group therapy and religious and spiritual activities.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma revisão integrativa referente à temática espiritualidade e velhice. Utilizou-se a revisão integrativa da literatura com acesso nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PUBMED, Capes e Google Acadêmico. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos completos, nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, no período de 2010-2019 e que apresentassem relação com a temática proposta no título, no resumo ou nos descritores, 15 artigos compuseram a amostra do estudo. A partir da essência dos conteúdos abstraíram-se três categorias: 4.1 ferramentas e validação de instrumentos para avaliar espiritualidade; 4.2 espiritualidade, velhice e sofrimento; 4.3 bem-estar espiritual e autotranscendência. A temática da espiritualidade na saúde é evidente pela robustez de estudos científicos encontrados, porém escassos no que confere a inclusão da pessoa idosa. Espera-se que este estudo fomente o debate aos profissionais de saúde para que as considerem nas práticas de tratamentos e cuidados incorporando-as nas políticas públicas de saúde, bem como na inclusão do ensino e formação de recursos humanos nos meios acadêmicos e profissionais.
