Resumo: This study aimed to understand the experiences of cancer patients receiving palliative care and the significance of spirituality when coping with the pain caused by the illness and facing the possibility of death. A total of 10 adults and older adult patients diagnosed with advanced cancer being treated in the palliative care/pain ward of a câncer hospital participated in this study. The phenomenological method was used to collecting and analyzing patients’ reports, which were obtained by individual interviews. Two thematic categories emerged, namely: Faith as hope for healing, support, and trust, and search for life meaning and resignification; and Search for meaning of death and beliefs in na afterlife and in a transcendence realm. The importance of the spiritual dimension was highlighted in the experience of the dying process, allowing the search for the meaning of life and death. The present study revealed that facing death leads people to greatly cherish life, connecting them to their personal beliefs and to their search for a purpose in life.

Participaram 10 pacientes adultos e idosos com diagnóstico de câncer avançado, atendidos na enfermaria de cuidados paliativos/dor de um hospital oncológico. Foi utilizado o método fenomenológico para coleta e análise dos relatos, que foram obtidos a partir de entrevistas individuais. Desvelaram-se duas categorias temáticas: Fé como esperança de cura, apoio e confiança e a busca de sentido/ressignificação da vida; e A busca de sentido na morte e nas crenças sobre o pós-morte e a vivência da transcendência. Evidenciou-se a importância da dimensão espiritual na vivência do processo de morrer, possibilitando a busca de sentidos para a vida e para a morte. Este estudo revelou que estar ante a morte leva à veneração da vida, remetendo às crenças pessoais e ao que se busca como sentidos para o viver.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-03-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7662Psychological Studies; Vol. 34 No. 2 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 34 Núm. 2 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 34 n. 2 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7662/5203Copyright (c) 2023 Andréa Carolina BENITES, Carmen Maria Bueno NEME, Manoel Antônio dos SANTOShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBENITES, Andréa CarolinaNEME, Carmen Maria BuenoSANTOS, Manoel Antônio dos2023-03-08T15:26:37Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7662Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2023-03-08T15:26:37Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
