Introdução A assistĂȘncia espiritual Ă© universalmente reconhecida como um pilar dos cuidados paliativos. VĂĄrios estudos tĂȘm reportado os benefĂcios de os mĂ©dicos atenderem Ă espiritualidade como parte do cuidado holĂstico ao paciente, particularmente no contexto da doença terminal. Este trabalho visa ajudar os mĂ©dicos a abordar a espiritualidade no contexto da sua prĂĄtica clĂnica. Materiais e MĂ©todos Foram pesquisados artigos em portuguĂȘs e inglĂȘs atravĂ©s da plataforma PubMed, usando a combinação de termos MeSH: âSpiritualityâ e âPalliative Careâ. A pesquisa foi complementada por livros e pĂĄginas da internet considerados relevantes. Resultados O sofrimento espiritual Ă© comum no contexto de fim de vida. Apesar de mĂ©dicos e pacientes desejarem ver a espiritualidade tida em conta no contexto clĂnico, o treino inadequado e a perceção da incapacidade do mĂ©dico para o fazer estĂŁo entre as mais importantes barreiras Ă prestação deste tipo de cuidados. DiscussĂŁo Para ajudar os mĂ©dicos a incorporar a assistĂȘncia espiritual na sua prĂĄtica clĂnica, hĂĄ muito que Ă© necessĂĄria uma abordagem simultaneamente flexĂvel e padronizada. Ă este o objetivo da abordagem APELO, um acrĂłstico que agrega cinco atitudes que podem facilitar a integração da assistĂȘncia espiritual numa prĂĄtica clĂnica mais humanizada: AutorreflexĂŁo, Perguntar, Escutar, Legitimar e Orientar. ConclusĂŁo A assistĂȘncia espiritual Ă© uma componente necessĂĄria, mas difĂcil, dos cuidados paliativos. A abordagem APELO pode guiar o clĂnico na prestação de cuidados espirituais, uma prĂĄtica enraizada na compaixĂŁo e em simplesmente âestar comâ o paciente.
Introduction Spiritual care is universally acknowledged as a cornerstone of palliative care. Multiple studies have reported the benefits of physicians addressing spirituality as part of whole person care, particularly in the setting of terminal illness. The present work aims at helping physicians address spirituality in their clinical practice. Material and Methods Articles both in Portuguese and English were searched through PubMed, using the combination of MeSH terms: âSpiritualityâ and âPalliative Careâ. The research was complemented by books and web pages considered relevant. Results Spiritual distress is common in an end of life setting. Even though both patients and physicians desire to see spirituality addressed in the clinical setting, inadequate training and a perceived inability to provide such care are among the most important barriers to its provision. Discussion In order to help physicians incorporate spiritual care in their clinical practices, a flexible yet standardized approach was long overdue. Fulfilling this void is the aim of the APELO (PALliatiVE) approach, by condensing the literature in a set of five attitudes that may aid the clinician in the delivery of spiritual care: AutorreflexĂŁo (Prepare), Perguntar (Ask), Escutar (Listen), Legitimar (Validate) and Orientar (consult an Expert). Conclusion Spiritual care is a necessary yet difficult part of palliative care. The APELO (PALliatiVE) approach may guide the physician on how to provide spiritual care, a practice rooted in compassion and in simply being-with the one who suffers.
