Vivências de pacientes com câncer em cuidados paliativos e o significado da espiritualidade

Abstract

Although medicine reaches constant advancements in patient care with cancer, with the realization of early diagnosis and different treatment alternatives, there are cases where the cure or control are not possible and the disease progresses, making patient to pass through the so-called palliative care. Different studies have pointed out the importance of spirituality in quality of life, specially to coping with the disease and the possibility of death, both to patients and families. The maintenance of hope, new meaning of existence in face of the disease and reflections about the meaning of life are associated to spirituality. This study aimed to understand the meaning of spirituality before the pain of the disease and the possibility of death for cancer patients in palliative care. The subjects in the study were 5 male and 5 female adults/elderly, aged 44-71 years old, diagnosed with advanced cancer, patients of the Cancer Hospital of Barretos, the Palliative / Pain Care Unit. Was used a phenomenological method for collection and analysis of the participants' reports, which were obtained in individual interviews, which were based on the guiding question: how was your journey from diagnosis to the present moment, and as it is for you to experience this moment of your life in relation to feelings, fears and future expectations?. Four themes were unfolded: faith as hope of healing; support, trust and search for meaning / redefinition of life; religious practice as a support; the meaning of care offered by the health team, family and the holiness; the search for meaning in death and beliefs about the afterlife and the experience of transcendence. The worsening of the disease process and the experience of terminality mobilized various coping resources and reflections on the meaning of life and death.

Embora a medicina venha alcançando avanços constantes na assistência ao paciente com câncer, com a realização de diagnósticos precoces e diferentes alternativas de tratamento, existem os casos em que a cura ou o controle não são possíveis e a doença avança, passando, o doente, a receber os chamados cuidados paliativos. Diferentes estudos têm apontado a importância da espiritualidade na qualidade de vida, no enfrentamento da doença e na inevitabilidade da morte, tanto para pacientes como para familiares. A manutenção da esperança, novos significados existenciais acerca do adoecimento e reflexões sobre o sentido de vida são associados à espiritualidade. Buscou-se compreender o significado da espiritualidade perante a dor do adoecimento e da possibilidade da morte para pacientes em cuidados paliativos oncológicos. Participaram do estudo, 5 homens e 5 mulheres adultos/idosos, na faixa etária de 44 a 71 anos de idade, com o diagnóstico de câncer avançado, atendidos no Hospital de Câncer de Barretos, na enfermaria da Unidade de Cuidados Paliativos/Dor. Foi utilizado o método fenomenológico para coleta e análise dos relatos dos participantes, os quais foram obtidos em entrevistas individuais que se basearam na questão norteadora: - como foi sua trajetória desde o diagnóstico até o momento atual e como é para você vivenciar esse momento de sua vida, em relação a sentimentos, medos e expectativas futuras?. Desvelaram-se quatro categorias temáticas: fé como esperança de cura, apoio, confiança e busca de sentido/ressignificação da vida; a prática religiosa como suporte; o sentido do cuidado oferecido pela equipe, familiares e o sagrado; a busca de sentido na morte e nas crenças sobre o pós-morte e a vivência da transcedência. O agravamento do processo de adoecimento e a vivência da terminalidade mobilizaram diversos recursos de enfrentamento e reflexões sobre o sentido da vida e da morte. Dentre os...
