“…As so, spirituality may represent a critical dimension in living and overcoming this situation. Spirituality in psychiatric nursing, according to a concept analysis, is a result of value‐influenced thinking and the capability for interaction with others (Clark & Emerson, 2021). In this review, spiritual aspects of the family caregivers’ experiences comprise spiritual needs, spiritual coping strategies, and spiritual or religious practices mentioned by the family caregivers.…”

Accessible Summary What is known on the subject? Being a caregiver of a relative with severe mental illness often impacts the quality of life, physical and mental health. The use of coping strategies related to spirituality can enhance physical and mental well‐being. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This review found 26 primary studies that refer to spiritual aspects of the experience of caring for a relative with mental health problems. Caregivers express spiritual needs, such as hope and finding meaning in life, and spiritual or religious practices that help to cope with stressful situations. What are the implications for practice? Spiritual needs and spiritual coping strategies of family caregivers of a relative with severe mental illness should be included in mental health nursing care. A spiritually sensitive approach should be used when promoting coping strategies of the family caregivers of a relative with severe mental illness. Abstract IntroductionDeinstitutionalization of individuals with severe mental illness transferred the responsibility of care to the relatives who need to adapt their personal life. Caregivers often develop coping strategies which involve the relationship with oneself, others, or the transcendent/God or nature and may include religious/spiritual practices. Question/AimThis review aims to identify the spiritual aspects of the family caregivers’ experiences when caring for a community‐dwelling adult with severe mental illness. MethodThe review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. Search was conducted in March 2019, updated in August 2020, limited to English, Spanish and Portuguese. ResultsA total of 26 studies were included. Two synthesized findings emerged: spiritual coping strategies are used by family caregivers; spiritual needs are expressed by family caregivers. The findings are based on the experiences of 467 caregivers, from 14 countries. DiscussionIn stressful times, family caregivers question the meaning in life and acknowledge hopelessness. To cope, caregivers mention a turn to the sacred and the use of spiritual/religious practices. Implications for practiceSpirituality should be considered according to caregivers’ individual beliefs and needs, as may represent important resources for the sense of meaning and overall well‐being.

“…From this point of view, spirituality is an intrinsic motivation to seek satisfaction and maintain a harmonious relationship with oneself/others in times of stress or crisis (20)(21)(22)(23). Studies that have examined spirituality during COVID-19 have found that it can facilitate self-reported self-care, connectedness, and meaning and purpose in life (18,24,25).…”

This study investigates the relationship between spiritual well-being, social support, and financial distress with depressive symptoms due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A path analysis was used to analyze data collected from 1,156 Iranian participants via an online survey. The results showed that spiritual well-being and social support were negatively related to depressive symptoms and financial distress. The impact of COVID-19 events showed negative associations with depressive symptoms. In addition, the link between spiritual well-being and financial distress with depressive symptoms was partially mediated by the impact of events.

“…Ebenso wie das DGPPN-Positionspapier [ 29 ] versteht die Mehrheit der Literatur Sp als den im Vergleich zu R umfassenderen Begriff. Eine pflegewissenschaftliche Konzeptanalyse [ 5 ] subsummiert Sp als das wertebasierte Denken der Patienten, ihre Fähigkeit zur Interaktion mit anderen, ihre Suche nach Lebenssinn und Verbundenheit („connectedness“) mit anderen Menschen und mit dem transzendenten Heiligen. Psychiatrisches SpC könne tröstliche Effekte haben und das Coping der Patienten fördern.…”

Spirituelle Kompetenz in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie – Hindernisse und Erfolgsfaktoren

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Ebenso wie die World Psychiatric Association (WPA) und andere nationale psychiatrische Fachgesellschaften hat auch die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik und Nervenheilkunde (DGPPN) ein Positionspapier zu Religiosität und Spiritualität (R/Sp) in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie veröffentlicht, in dem sie Patientenzentrierung und spirituelle Kompetenz (SpK) der psychiatrischen Berufe fordert. Es ist bekannt, dass Kompetenzmangel das wichtigste Hindernis für die Implementierung von Spiritual Care (SpC) in die klinische Praxis darstellt. Fragestellung Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist die praxisnahe Untersuchung der SpK in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie. Wie schätzen psychiatrisch Tätige die SpK ihrer eigenen Berufsgruppe ein und welche Variablen beeinflussen dieses Urteil? Material und Methoden Insgesamt 391 psychiatrische Pflegekräfte, 75 Psychiater, 119 Therapeuten verschiedener Professionen und 62 andere (n = 647) aus Krankenhäusern in Deutschland und Österreich füllten den SpC Competency Questionnaire (SCCQ) aus. Ergebnisse Pflegekräfte, ältere und spirituell erfahrenere Personen schätzen die SpK der eigenen Berufsgruppe vergleichsweise höher ein und meinen seltener, diesbezüglich nicht zuständig zu sein. Pflegende nennen häufiger als andere Berufsgruppen das Fehlen geeigneter Räumlichkeiten als Hindernis für die Implementierung von SpC. Höhere Einschätzung der SpK der eigenen Berufsgruppe geht mit höheren Werten in den SCCQ-Faktoren „Selbsterfahrung und proaktive Öffnung“, „Team-Spirit“, „Wahrnehmungs‑/Dokumentationskompetenz“ einher. Diskussion Die Zuständigkeit der Gesundheitsberufe für SpC in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie wird unter den deutschsprachigen psychiatrischen Berufsgruppen noch kontrovers diskutiert. Dies hängt mit mangelnder Kompetenz in diesem Feld zusammen.
