Spiritual Needs

La espiritualidad es intrínseca al ser humano y se manifiesta también asociada a la enfermedad, la pérdida o cuando el ser humano se enfrenta con el sufrimiento o la muerte. Como la expresión de las necesidades espirituales no se procesa de igual forma en la per- sona sana o enferma, su atención requiere una intervención rigurosa y profesional. Objetivos: identificar necesidades espirituales de la persona hospitalizada y conceptos de espiritualidad. Método: revisión integrativa de diez estudios cuantitativos y cualitativos sobre necesidades espirituales, publicados en el período del 2004 al 2011 en las bases de datos (EBSCO, MEDLINE, SAGE y B-ON), orientada por las interrogantes: ¿Cuáles son las necesidades espirituales de la persona hospitalizada y los conceptos de espiritualidad utilizados en los estudios seleccionados? Resultados: del análisis de los artículos emergieron las siguientes necesidades espirituales: busca de sentido en la enfermedad y sufrimiento; estar en relación con los otros y con el Ser Superior, lo que señala presencia evidente de valores, creencias espirituales, fe, esperanza y necesidades religiosas, asociadas a los conceptos: sentido de vida, relaciones, transcendencia y prácticas religiosas. Conclusiones: los enfermos pueden expresar sus necesidades espirituales por medio de las formas más sutiles. Los enfermeros deben evaluar las necesidades espirituales de “mente abierta” y ser capaces de proporcionar la asistencia más adecuada.

Definition Of

A hospital admission presents various challenges for a patient which often result in high or intense spiritual needs. To provide the best possible care for older adults during hospitalization, it is essential to assess patients’ spiritual needs. However, little research has been done into the spiritual needs of geriatric patients. This article seeks insight into what is known in the literature on the spiritual needs of geriatric patients. This integrative review presents a summary of the articles on this topic. To select eligible studies, the PRISMA Flow Diagram was used. This resulted in ten articles that have been reviewed. Results show (1) a wide interest in researching spiritual needs, using different research designs. In addition, (2) four subcategories of spiritual needs can be distinguished: (a) the need to be connected with others or with God/the transcendent/the divine, (b) religious needs, (c) the need to find meaning in life, and (d) the need to maintain one’s identity. Moreover, results show that (3) assessing spiritual needs is required to provide the best possible spiritual care, and that (4) there are four reasons for unmet spiritual needs. Further research is needed on the definition of spiritual needs and to investigate older patients’ spiritual needs and the relation with their well-being, mental health and religious coping mechanisms, in order to provide the best spiritual care.

Although a substantial number of studies have documented the spiritual needs of hospitalized patients, few have examined the prevalence of these needs and even fewer have attempted to measure the extent to which they are being met. Since chaplains are the primary providers of spiritual care, chaplains' visits to patients would appear to provide a reasonable proxy for the latter. Based on the limited data available, we estimated the proportion of hospitalized patients who are visited by chaplains. Our analyses yielded a point estimate of 20% (+ 10%), depending on a number of factors.

Background: Privacy is a complicated and obscure concept, which has special meanings in the healthcare environment; therefore, it is essential for healthcare providers to fully understand this concept. However, there is no universally accepted definition for this concept in the texts, and it has been interpreted differently, based on its application. Aim: To analyze and provide a clear and scientific definition for respect of privacy of hospitalized patients and identify the common aspects of this concept. Research design: This study was conducted using the Whittemore and Knafl’s modified framework as a conceptual analysis method. Ethical consideration: This study was approved by the Research Council of the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences. We have respected the ethical requirements required regarding the sources and authorship. Research context and data sources: Using integrative review, a search was performed using national and international databases, including CINAHL, Scopus, Medline, Web of Science, and ISI (with no date restriction). The keywords employed during the search process were “privacy of patients,” “confidentiality,” “and patients’ rights.” In total, 1345 articles were retrieved from the databases. After the elimination of repetitive studies and with regard to the study objectives, 124 articles, 3 books, and 4 theses were entered into the study. The data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis approach. Findings: The results were extracted in the form of four, seven, and two themes related to attributes such as physical, informational, social, and psychological and the antecedents and consequences of respecting patient privacy, respectively. Conclusion: Respect for hospitalized patient privacy contains multiple dimensions. Factors affecting the achievement of this concept include individual backgrounds, nature of the disease, and rule of paternalism. The fulfillment of patient privacy leads to such consequences as protection and improvement of human dignity as well as improved communication between the patient and the health team.
