Implicações da religiosidade e espiritualidade no cuidado integral à saúde e o papel do enfermeiro nesse contexto: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Introduction: The influence of religiosity and spirituality has a potential impact on physical health, possibly becoming a factor in preventing the development of diseases in the previously healthy population, and possibly reducing death or the impact of various diseases (GUIMARÃES; AVEZUM, 2007). With a focus on the organizational and political evolution of nursing, it is understood that it is aware of its responsibility in the face of the quality of care it provides to the patient, the institution, ethics, laws and standards of the profession, as well as the contribution of its performance in valuing care and patient satisfaction (SILVA, 2012; REGIS; PORTO, 2011). Objective: To describe the implications of religiosity and spirituality in comprehensive health care, highlighting the role of nurses in this context, based on scientific publications on the subject, from 2012 to 2022. Methodology: Integrative review, a method that enables the synthesis of knowledge and the applicability of results of significant studies in the context of practice. This type of study is based on six phases classified as: (1) elaboration of the guiding question; (2) search or sampling in the literature; (3) data collection; (4) critical analysis of included studies; (5) discussion of results; (6) presentation of the integrative review (MENDES; SILVEIRA; GALVÃO, 2008). Results and Discussion: Two searches were performed in the LILACS, VHL/BDENF databases. The descriptors of health sciences, comprehensive health care; nurse; humanization, nurse and spiritual articulated by the Boolean operator AND, being found in a total of 23 articles. After applying the filters and inclusion criteria, 04 articles were definitively selected. The theme is not very expressive at the national and international level, which is reflected in limitations for the presentation of the results of this study. The objectives were converging regarding the focus of humanization as a necessary factor for comprehensive health care, the perception of spiritual care for patients in a hospitalized situation and professional nursing strategies in experiences with the theme of spirituality and health. The central focuses of the articles covered pain, death, palliative care, comprehensive care, family, humanization. Conclusion:It was concluded that the subject proved to be extremely relevant in the nurse's work and raised the need to produce new knowledge, so that these aspects are treated in a demystified way in the development of care. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the awareness of health teams and subsidize attitudinal attitudes in line with the religious and spiritual reality of people who need health care.
