ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze nurses’ role in assisting patients in palliative care, with emphasis on the spiritual dimension, in the light of Theory of Human Caring. Methods: this is an exploratory, qualitative study, carried out in a hospital in João Pessoa, Paraíba, between August and December 2019, with 10 nurses. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were used. For analysis, we opted for content analysis. Results: the spiritual dimension of care is contemplated by several religious and spiritual practices. These are respected and encouraged by nurses, although there is difficulty in providing care for the spiritual dimension. Final Considerations: nurses have attitudes consistent with Jean Watson’s Theory and apply the Caritas Process elements during assistance to patients’ spiritual dimension in palliative care.

Human Caring

Hospice offers holistic human caring that embraces every individual as a unique physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual entity. To holistically address and fulfill end-of-life care needs, wishes, and preferences for terminally ill patients and their families, early healthcare provider referral to hospice is crucial. Utilizing Watson’s (2012a) theory of human caring and Hills and Watson’s (2011) emancipatory pedagogy for nursing as theoretical frameworks, this article proposes an approach to educating multidisciplinary healthcare providers on the importance of and need for early hospice referral to promote quality holistic, meaningful, respectful, dignified, and compassionate end-of-life care.

Human Caring

Loss is a fundamental human experience, and with loss comes grief. Healthcare's fast-paced, high-tech, professional environment is juxtaposed to the human caring focus of the nursing profession. Providing nurses with a theoretical context for working with people dealing with loss and grief will help nurses to provide care to those in need. By employing the three major conceptual elements of Watson's Theory of Human Caring, the caritas processes, the transpersonal caring relationship, and the caring occasion/caring moment, a nurse can create a more holistically therapeutic experience for patients and families.

Caring is viewed as the essence of nursing. However caring is not a phenomenon exclusive to nurses. Hospitalized patients encounter numerous people in addition to nurses and each role and individual make an impact upon the care of the patient. These encounters can dramatically influence the level of satisfaction a patient feels about their hospital experience. The purpose of this study was to determine if implementing an interdepartmental caring-based approach based on Jean Watson’s theory of human caring could have a positive effect on patient satisfaction. It was determined that satisfaction levels did improve significantly following a caring-based intervention.
