RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Spiritual care has been associated with better health outcomes. Despite increasing evidence of the benefits of spiritual care for older patients coping with illness and aggressive treatment, the role of spirituality is not well understood and implemented. Nurses, as frontline holistic healthcare providers, are in a position to address patients' spiritual needs and support them in finding meaning in life. This study aimed to identify spiritual care by analyzing nursing data and to compare the psychological and physical comfort between older chronically ill patients who received spiritual care versus those who did not receive spiritual care. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A propensity score matched cohort utilizing nursing care plan data was used to construct balanced groups based on patient characteristics at admission. 45 older patients (≥65 years) with chronic illnesses received spiritual care with measured psychological or physical comfort and 90 matched controls. To ensure the robustness of our results, two sensitivity analyses were performed. Group comparisons were performed to assess the average treatment effect of spiritual care on psychological and physical comfort outcomes. RESULTS: The mean psychological comfort was 4.3 (SD = 0.5) for spiritual care receivers and 3.9 (SD = 0.9) for non-receivers. Regression analysis showed that spiritual care was associated with better psychological comfort (estimate = 0.479, std. error = 0.225, p = 0.041). While its effect on physical comfort was not statistically significant (estimate = -0.265, std. error = 0.234, p = 0.261). This study provides suggestive evidence of the positive impact of nurses' spiritual care in improving psychological comfort for older patients with chronic illnesses. CONCLUSION: Using interoperable nursing data, our findings suggest that spiritual care improves psychological comfort in older patients facing illness. This finding suggests that nurses may integrate spiritual care into their usual care to support patients experiencing distress.

RESUMO

Introduction: Despite increasing evidence of the benefits of spiritual care and nurses' efforts to incorporate spiritual interventions into palliative care and clinical practice, the role of spirituality is not well understood and implemented. There are divergent meanings and practices within and across countries. Understanding the delivery of spiritual interventions may lead to improved patient outcomes. Aim: We conducted a systematic review to characterize spiritual interventions delivered by nurses and targeted outcomes for patients in hospitals or assisted long-term care facilities. Methodology: The systematic review was developed following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, and a quality assessment was performed. Our protocol was registered on PROSPERO (Registration No. CRD42020197325). The CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and PubMed databases were searched from inception to June 2020. Results: We screened a total of 1005 abstracts and identified 16 experimental and quasi-experimental studies of spiritual interventions delivered by nurses to individuals receiving palliative care or targeted at chronic conditions, such as advanced cancer diseases. Ten studies examined existential interventions (e.g., spiritual history, spiritual pain assessment, touch, and psychospiritual interventions), two examined religious interventions (e.g., prayer), and four investigated mixed interventions (e.g., active listening, presence, and connectedness with the sacred, nature, and art). Patient outcomes associated with the delivery of spiritual interventions included spiritual well-being, anxiety, and depression. Conclusion: Spiritual interventions varied with the organizational culture of institutions, patients' beliefs, and target outcomes. Studies showed that spiritual interventions are associated with improved psychological and spiritual patient outcomes. The studies' different methodological approaches and the lack of detail made it challenging to compare, replicate, and validate the applicability and circumstances under which the interventions are effective. Further studies utilizing rigorous methods with operationalized definitions of spiritual nursing care are recommended.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To present the findings of a systematic review on the use of simulation-based learning experiences (SBLEs) to teach communication skills to nursing students and clinicians who provide palliative and end-of-life care to patients and their families. BACKGROUND: Palliative care communication skills are fundamental to providing holistic patient care. Since nurses have the greatest amount of direct exposure to patients, building such communication competencies is essential. However, exposure to patients and families receiving palliative and end-of-life care is often limited, resulting in few opportunities to learn these skills in the clinical setting. Simulation-based learning experiences can be used to supplement didactic teaching and clinical experiences to build the requisite communication skills. METHODS: Searches of CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsychINFO, ERIC, and Web of Science electronic databases and Grey Literature returned 442 unique records. Thirty articles met the established criteria, including the SBLE must contain a nursing role. RESULTS: Simulation-based learning experience are being used to teach palliative and end-of-life communication skills to nursing students and clinicians. Lack of standardization, poor evaluation methods, and limited exposure to the entire interprofessional team makes it difficult to identify and disseminate validated best practices. CONCLUSION: While the need for further research is acknowledged, we recommend this evidence be augmented by training programs that utilize SBLEs through (1) applying standards, (2) clearly specifying goals and objectives, (3) integrating externally validated scenarios, and (4) employing rigorous evaluation methods and measures that link the SBLE to the training objectives and desired clinician practice behaviors and patient outcomes.
