“…Ainda, de acordo com Atchley (1997), a ideia de que as etapas mais avançadas do ciclo vital estão relacionadas com o desenvolvimento espiritual pode ser encontrada nas estruturas sociais e culturais das sociedades ocidentais. Na teoria psicossocial de Erikson (Bester, Naidoo e Botha, 2016) é também defendido que o envelhecimento se caracteriza pela reflexão sobre a vida com o objetivo de perceber se ela foi vivida de uma forma significativa (Bester et al, 2016). Esta procura de significado e sentido da vida conduzirá, por conseguinte, a um maior desenvolvimento espiritual (Nelson, 2009).…”

Objetivo: É incontornável a importância que o conceito de bem-estar espiritual assume nos dias de hoje. A investigação é escassa na população idosa institucionalizada, sendo assim importante o desenvolvimento de instrumentos no âmbito do bem-estar espiritual validados para esta população. Este estudo tem como principal objetivo a análise das qualidades psicométricas e a validação da versão portuguesa do Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire (SWBQ).Métodos: A amostra incluiu 101 pessoas idosas institucionalizadas da zona de Coimbra (n = 51; 50,5%) e Aveiro (n = 50; 49,5%), com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 96 anos, 33 (32,7%) eram do sexo masculino e 68 (67,3%) do sexo feminino. Para além do SWBQ, foram administrados a Escala sobre a Esperança, a Escala de Otimismo, o Geriatric Anxiety Inventory e a Geriatric Depression Scale.Resultados: O SWBQ apresentou uma estrutura fatorial de três fatores (ambiental, transcendental e humanitário), diferente da versão original cuja estrutura fatorial apontava para quatro fatores. A consistência interna foi adequada e a validade convergente e divergente não atestaram a sua validade de constructo. O bem-estar espiritual foi diferente de forma estatisticamente significativa a nível do sexo (p < 0,01), estado civil (p < 0,05) e profissão (p < 0,05).Conclusões: Este estudo contribuiu para a disponibilização de um novo instrumento para a avaliação do bem-estar espiritual nas pessoas de idade avançada institucionalizadas, tendo evidenciado características psicométricas razoáveis, devendo, no entanto, ser replicado em amostras com outras características para a confirmação destes dados.

“…Numa investigação portuguesa (Gouveia et al, 2009), o alfa de Cronbach situou-se entre 0,72 e 0,89 (n = 439; idades: 16-71 anos). No estudo mais recente (Bester et al, 2016), o alfa de Cronbach do bemestar espiritual global foi de 0,93, variando nos seus quatro fatores entre 0,78 e 0,93 (n = 122; idades: 60-69 anos).…”

“…There is stillness and balance of mind where contentment can grow. In the study of a non-experimental research design was used to investigate the role of mindfulness in the relationship between life satisfaction and spiritual well being amongst South African elderly residents (N=122) from two retirement villages in Bloemfoentein [6]. Mindfulness was also a moderator in the relationship between life satisfaction and spiritual wellbeing.…”

Paying attention to and meeting the needs of people who are elderly helps to improve their health. Caring for the elderly includes addressing their spiritual needs which has been less investigated. This study aimed to examine the spiritual needs of the Muslim elderly living in nursing homes. A qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis. Seventeen elderly people (nine women and eight men) were selected from four nursing homes in Iran using purposive sampling. The subjects were asked to participate in semi-structured interviews. The interview transcripts were analyzed using content analysis. First, semantic units were identified and then related codes were extracted and classified into categories and subcategories based on their similarities. Finally, themes were extracted from the data. The elderly’s spiritual needs were classified into three main themes: religious needs, existential needs, and communication needs. Religious needs were divided into religious beliefs, individual religious practices, and collective religious practices. Existential needs were categorized as meaning of life, purpose of life, and need for peace. Communication needs were conceptualized to include relationship with God and relationship with others. It is argued that caregivers of the elderly should recognize the elderly’s spiritual needs, including religious, existential, and communication needs, and attempt to maintain and promote the elderly’s spiritual health.
