Cancer affects individuals in all human dimensions. Cancer patients are more susceptible to spiritual distress. Several studies have addressed spiritual distress using quantitative designs; however, a qualitative approach to the experience of spiritual distress could provide a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. This study aims to synthesis the experience of spiritual distress as lived by cancer patients in qualitative primary studies. This is a literature review based on electronic databases search. A total of 4075 citations was identified and 23 studies were included. The most frequent qualitative research method was phenomenology (n = 15), and interviews were the main data collection method (n = 20). Two major themes have been identified related to the experience of spiritual distress: suffering and coping. Spiritual distress is an intimate, deep and suffering experience in life, which requires coping strategies and involves spiritual values and beliefs. Healthcare providers should be aware of this experience and recognize spiritual distress in cancer patients, as it is critical in providing holistic nursing care.

“…The recent advancements in treatments have resulted in longer life for patients with cancer, although this is not always good, as a number of sufferers endure the disease chronicity with a low quality of life (Sibeoni et al 2018). The suffering experienced from diagnosis through treatment, survival, recurrence, and dying often results in issues, including spiritual distress (Caldeira et al 2017;Loh 2004;Martins and Caldeira 2018;Villagomeza 2005). Furthermore, the affected patients express concern about the meaning of life, death, and suffering and, also, attribute the illness to a form of punishment (Caldeira et al 2017;Martins et al 2019).…”
