RELIGIOSIDADE/ESPIRITUALIDADE EM INTERFACE NA HUMANIZAÇÃO: ASSISTÊNCIA DA ENFERMAGEM AO PACIENTE DEPRESSIVO

Abstract

In 2021, the World Health Organization considered depression as the Disease of the Century, not only because of the millions of people affected by it, but because it strongly contributes to a global burden of disease that can lead the patient to suicide. Linked to this situation, the following question-problem of the research was outlined: in the assistant/assisted relationship, in the daily routine of nursing, how can religiosity/spirituality positively influence the depressive patient? It is inferred that the proximity that nurses have in caring for the patient gives them the opportunity to be in tune with the patient through religiosity/spirituality, with a view to favoring their well-being with themselves and a better relationship with coping with the disease. Theorists such as Harold G. Koenig (2001), Orlando Coser (2003) e Antonio Maspoli Araujo Gomes (2011) are some among many other sources of academic-scientific basis for this investigation whose objective is to elucidate the effect of religiosity/spirituality as a component of humanization The objective of this study is to elucidate the effect of religiosity as a component of humanization in the care of nurses during the treatment of depressed patients. This is exploratory-descriptive research; and regarding the approach to the problem, it is classified as qualitative. The dissertation development text is composed of three parts sufficient to achieve the proposed objective. The first one addresses the question of depression, the second one turns to faith, spirituality and religiosidade and the third one is treated by the nurse who does not treat the depressive patient involving faith/spirituality/religiosity and a propost/suggestion of nursing training. The literature more recently vem showing that the humanized treatment has awakened a lot of interest from researchers in the health area. Also on the way to religiosity, as well as spirituality, together with the treatment of various doenças, especially in the case of depression; meanwhile, many nursing professionals are still not qualified for such an endeavor.
