“…After a cancer diagnosis, many patients report that RS are important to their adjustment (Asgeirsdottir et al, 2013). Religious coping is one component of RS that has been studied in cancer patients (see Lavery & O’Hea, 2010; Thune-Boyle et al, 2006 for reviews).…”

Recognizing and understanding the potentially powerful roles that religiousness and spirituality (RS) may serve in the prevention and amelioration of disease, as well as symptom management and health related quality of life, significantly enhances research and clinical efforts across many areas of behavioral medicine. This article examines the knowledge established to date and suggests advances that remain to be made. We begin with a brief summary of the current knowledge regarding RS as related to three exemplary health conditions: (a) cardiovascular disease; (b) cancer; and, (c) substance abuse. We then focus on particular concerns for future investigations, emphasizing conceptual issues, possible mediators and moderators of relationships or effects, and methodology. Our discussion is framed by a conceptual model that may serve to guide and organize future investigations. This model highlights a number of important issues regarding the study of links between RS and health: (a) RS comprise many diverse constructs, (b) the mechanisms through which RS may influence health outcomes are quite diverse, and (c) a range of different types of health and health relevant outcomes may be influenced by RS. The multidimensional nature of RS and the complexity of related associations with different types of health relevant outcomes present formidable challenges to empirical study in behavioral medicine. These issues are referred to throughout our review and we suggest several solutions to the presented challenges in our summary. We end with a presentation of barriers to be overcome, along with strategies for doing so, and concluding thoughts.

“…It is a specialty that requires great commitment from the health care workers, the caregivers and families, not just by the delicacy of the patient's condition but also because of the existential and spiritual distress involved [3]. In dealing with the diverse needs of hospice workers, both individual and collective needs must be considered to ensure an optimal workplace climate.…”

“…In a study conducted by Asgeirsdottir et al (2013) [3] the patients at end of life care experienced characteristics of existential and spiritual distress and the majority expressed how their situation influenced their loved ones, being aware of the impact of the illness on the family members even to the extent that they were considered to suffer more than they themselves, picturing the family as a non-religious spiritual resource in the caring process which draws attention to the importance of attending to the spiritual needs of the family as a whole.…”

El objetivo fue operar el proceso de enfermería propuesto por Betty Neuman para hombres con cáncer de laringe para la identificación de los factores de estrés y patrones de enfrentamiento desencadenados en la vivencia de la neoplasia maligna. Se trata de un estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, cualitativo, se utilizó como referencial teórico el Modelo de Betty Neuman con 30 hombres sometidos a tratamiento de cáncer de laringe, que pertenecen a un grupo de apoyo, que se encuentra en São Paulo, Brasil. Los clientes han proporcionado algunos diagnósticos de enfermería causados por factores de estrés identificados y relacionados con el tratamiento de cáncer de laringe. A partir de esto, se elaboraron los objetivos y resultados de enfermería que permitieron hacer frente a los factores estresantes y la restauración de las líneas de defensa, obteniéndose intervenciones satisfactorias para minimizar el estrés experimentado. Se encontró que las dificultades de tratamiento del cáncer de laringe se pueden resolver con una práctica de enfermería centrada en la atención y el diálogo, basándose en un método científico adecuado.
