Abstract
- Objective: to understand the importance and spiritual experience of patients undergoing oncologic treatment. Method: qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study developed in a high complexity oncologic care unit in the southwest of Bahia. The collection took place in June 2019, through a guided interview, using a semi-structured script, with the final sample having 10 patients undergoing oncologic treatment. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed through the content analysis technique of Bardin. Results: the importance and benefits promoted by the use of spirituality during chemotherapy were evidenced. The need for a greater and better approach to spirituality by health professionals during care has been proven. Final considerations: in view of the difficulties encountered during oncologic treatment, spirituality becomes a beneficial strategy used by patients. Even so, the use of spiritual care as an instrument of care by health professionals is a challenge to be overcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
