O enfermeiro da atenção básica e a espiritualidade na produção de cuidado na perspectiva da integralidade.

Abstract

This work was developed in the master course in sciences of religions at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) in the city of João Pessoa, in the years 2011 and 2012. Had the following questions: how nurses from primary health care in the municipality of Conde-PB understand spirituality and how do they relate to the integrality? How nurses provide spiritual care facing the demands of the users, considering the spiritual context of ethnic groups and mestizos in the municipality '. The objective was to analyze the understanding of nurses about the spirituality, into care production in the perspective of completeness. Were interviewed, following the method of thematic oral history, seven nurses. The data analysis was made for two modes simultaneously, because they interpenetrate and complete. First, narratives transcriadas were presented in textual form. Then, based on the literature, the analysis was performed on three themes: spirituality in the view of the basic health care nurses; spirituality in the care production of the spiritual dimension, and spirituality as a theoretical framework for health promotion in the context of the right to diversity of religious practicese and ethnic equity. The theoretical framework used was Frankl, Foucault, Solomon, Boff, Gadamer, Pine, Light, among others. The narratives revealed that nurses comprise predominantly spirituality expressed by beliefs in the Judeo-Christian traditions. Only some of them have shown visions that came from other types of spirituality: streamlined, energy and liberating. The narratives also indicated that all nurses recognize the relationship between spirituality, wholeness and humanity; personal beliefs that support the production of care in times of crises of their clients. However, even claiming not to have received preparation to take care of the spiritual dimension, they identify behaviors manifestations of spiritual needs. Indeed, the narrative speeches showed that the respondents do not value the domestic practices of spirituality of african descent and indigenous roots used by users in search of health. We consider it essential, both in undergraduate education and in continuing education for nurses, seizing conceptions of spirituality and issues related to the right to the diversity of religious practices and freedom of religion not by choice.
