“…As indicated by the opinions of the patients expressed in this and other studies, patients who suffer less and feel better use strategies to cope with their illness and give meaning to their lives (Moreira et al 2017;González-Barón et al 2005). People with spiritual beliefs experience less intense pain (Christian et al 2018); specifically, the level of suffering of patients in spiritual palliative care decreases at the end of life (Rufino-Castro 2015) Various studies highlight the positive effect of the presence of clergy as a spiritual support (Balboni et al 2013;Ferrell et al 2008). Any type of spiritual support or practice can generate hope and help individuals express their feelings (Simão-Miranda et al 2017;Ando et al 2009;Herth 2000), for example using rituals and ritual-like acts (Van der Weegen et al 2019), by promoting the resilience capacity (Barreto et al 2015).…”

The lives of healthy and sick people are structured according to a variety of conceptual matrices. One of these matrixes consists of philosophical, spiritual, and religious convictions, being this especially relevant in the process of the end of life. The objective of the study is to understand the meaning that individuals at the end of life and the relatives of such individuals award spiritual and/or religious beliefs through an examination of caregiver narratives. Multicentric study was developed that used a qualitative design and a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in the autonomous community of Andalusia, specifically in the provinces of Almeria, Malaga, Seville, Granada, and Huelva. The selection method was purposive sampling. Caregivers who had lost a relative in a period between 2 months and 2 years previously and who were not in a process of pathological grieving were selected for inclusion in the study. The method involved five discussion groups and 41 in-depth interviews, with a total of 87 participants. A change of paradigms is necessary in which, among other elements, the focus of palliative care is centered on the ability to address these spiritual needs, and healthcare professionals are trained to assist in the provision of such care. Another important consideration is the inequality of spiritual supported provided by clergy from various religions. At least in the cultural context of the research, Catholic chaplains were the only institutional figures whose presence was assumed necessary by health organizations. However, the cultural and/ or religious diversity in the autonomous community in which the study was conducted is increasingly broad and complex. It appears necessary to incorporate a variety of clergies in health units so that all patients may find support, whether in terms of companionship or celebration.

“…Grief and bereavement are natural and universal human experiences, which occur before, during, and after a significant person in someone's life dies . However, just as the circumstances surrounding every death are varied, each individual can experience bereavement in different ways, which may reflect the nature of the death, their relationships, their social supports, and cultural context . Most people find ways to deal with grief and bereavement over time, with the needs of bereaved individuals largely met through obtaining support within their existing networks such as family and friends.…”

Bereavement care practice guidelines assist in delivering high-quality bereavement care. However, the quality of published guidelines is unknown. A systematic review was conducted to identify and evaluate the quality of the process used to develop bereavement care practice guidelines using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument. A keyword search was conducted in MEDLINE-Complete, CINAHL-Complete, Health-Source (Nursing/Academic Edition), Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and an internet search engine inOctober 2017. Sixteen guidelines with differing scope and purpose but similar core values were identified from the grey literature and then appraised at high quality (n = 1), moderate quality (n = 4), or low quality (n = 11). The domains "clarity of presentation" and "scope and purpose" achieved the highest scores (mean ± SD 71.0 ± 27.6% and 64.4 ± 37.5%, respectively), while "editorial independence" showed the lowest mean score (9.2 ± 13.3%). While few of the bereavement care practice guidelines met the AGREE II quality standards related to their development process, neither the quality of the content of each guideline nor the in-context application was assessed by the AGREE II instrument. Ongoing development of practice guidelines may benefit from consideration and application of the framework outlined in the AGREE II or similar appraisal instrument.

“…One of the results of the papers also showed that well-being is developed by the spiritual domain (34). In addition spiritual influenced the quality of life (19), related to meaning of life (20) self-acceptance (26), and healthy behavior (38,27) (table 1, table 3). Based on these papers, it can be concluded that spiritual care is needed by patients, so it was needed to depict clear definition of spiritual care.…”

Holistic care in the nursing care consists of physical, psychological, socio-cultural, developmental and spiritual aspects. However, the spiritual has received less attention than the other four aspects. The aim of this study was to review paper related to spiritual care in nursing care practices. The method in this study is a review using the CINAHL database. CINAHL was used because the articles focus on nursing topics. The keywords used were "Spirituality" OR "Spiritual care" OR "Spiritual" AND "Nurse". The inclusion criteria for the article were English language and published from 2019-2021, for adult range between 18-44 years old. Exclusion criteria were article not in English language, not full paper article, not in Human and not psychometric study also master thesis. This study recorded 64 articles, screened according to the topic, then the final results recorded 19 articles. This article focuses on the use of spiritual care in patients, nurses and caregivers, as well as both of patients and caregivers. The results of the review showed that spiritual care was important for mental health, physical health, and well-being, quality of life, increasing expectations for patients, nurses or caregivers. The significance of the study was spiritual care should be addressed in nursing care practices and it must include in the nursing curriculum, because spiritual care has many benefits for patients and nurses.
