Espiritualmente resilientes. Relación entre espiritualidad y resiliencia en cuidados paliativos

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse if there is a positive relationship between resilience and spirituality in its three dimensions (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and transpersonal) as shown in previous studies. At the same time, it explores if there is a relationship with sociodemographic variables.A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study in hospitalised palliative patients was carried out. Resilience (BRCS) and Spirituality (GES) were used as variables. A sample of 105 hospitalised palliative patients was chosen, of which the average age was 65.88 and 53.3% were women. Oncologic diagnosis=86.7%, low cultural level=59%; single=56.2%, and average PPS=54.2. Concerninn the relationship between resilience and spirituality, GES total and GES intra was 57.7%, GES inter 36.3%, and GES trans 37.3% (Pearson's correlation). As a conclusion, there is a positive correlation between resilience and spirituality, as it was proved in previous studies. However, the intrapersonal dimension has the strongest relationship with resilience.
