(Current Medicine Group, 2012-10-01) Lucchetti, Giancarlo [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Arao Belitardo [UNIFESP]; Peres Mercante, Juliane Prieto; Prieto Peres, Mario Fernando [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); São Paulo Med Spiritist Assoc; Albert Einstein Hosp
Musculoskeletal pain (MP) is common in the general population and has been associated with anxiety in several ways: (a) muscle tension is included as a part of the diagnostic criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, (b) pain can be a common symptom and a good indicator of an anxiety disorder, (c) anxiety is an independent predictor of quality of life in patients with chronic MP, (d) anxiety leads to higher levels of pain chronification, and (e) fear, anxiety, and avoidance are related to MP. the objective of this article is to explore the mechanisms underlying the relation between anxiety disorders and musculoskeletal pain as well as its management. We have also highlighted the role of spirituality and religiosity in MP treatment. We found some similarities between proposed mechanisms and explicative models for both conditions as well as an overlapping between the treatments available. the recognition of this association is important for professionals who deal with chronic pain.

Comparação de qualidade de vida de renais crônicos antes e após o transplante renal e relação entre espiritualidade e qualidade de vida do transplantado renal
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2017-12-20) Oliveira, Leticia Meazzini de [UNIFESP]; Belasco, Angelica Goncalves Silva [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1227722843950275; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6013975797908302; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a factor for negative health outcomes when associated with major noncommunicable diseases. Survival rate is widely used to evaluate the success of all treatments available for renal replacement, but the patient's perception of his quality of life (QoL) should be valued in all modalities. Objectives: To compare QOL of renal patients when on dialysis and after renal transplantation and to correlate it with sociodemographic variables; morbidities and spirituality/religiosity to QOL of renal transplant patients. Methods: In 2007, we evaluated the QOL of 477 chronic renal patients submitted to hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). After seven years, the QoL of the patients who were part of the initial sample and received the renal transplant were evaluated using the KDQOL-SF instrument; besides these sociodemographic and economic data, spirituality/religiosity information were collected through the WHOQOL-SRPB instrument. Results: Twenty-seven renal transplant recipients were evaluated, out of a total of 63, 15 of whom underwent hemodialysis and 12 underwent peritoneal dialysis. There was a significant improvement in some dimensions of QoL in the post-transplant period and a positive impact of spirituality/religiosity on QoL in some dimensions. Conclusion: Renal transplantation provided improvement in important aspects of QOL in the chronic renal patient, such as: mental composit, effects of kidney disease and burden of kidney disease. Sociodemographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, race, work situation and religion also influenced these indexes. Practices of spirituality / religiosity positively impacted the QoL of renal transplant patients.

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2018-12-20) Araujo, Aline Correa de [UNIFESP]; Tanaka, Luiza Hiromi [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9047748805998095; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4932696372953686; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Background: Healthcare Students have high levels of stress during their formation and consequent emotional stiffness, distancing themselves from the patients, families and themselves. Studies on meditative practices or structured learning of selfperception and relaxation techniques, performed during the training of the health professional, have shown positive results under several emotional aspects. In this way, the objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of an elective discipline on "Practices of care for the promotion of integral health: basis in spirituality and neuroscience" for nursing, phonoaudiology and medical students of the Federal University of São Paulo, regarding the handling of emotions. This is a case study with 38 undergraduate students from UNIFESP, divided into two groups: experimental, with 24 students who attended the discipline and control, with 14 students who did not attend. The groups were evaluated in two moments: preintervention and postintervention. The discipline included meditative practices of focused attention, body scanning, attention to breathing, open heart and gentleness, training mindfulness through perceptions of physical sensations, emotions, feelings, and thoughts. The theoretical and practical contents were contextualized with the cultivation of spirituality and the relationship with neuroscience. Elective discipline lasted nine weeks, totaling 36 hours. The techniques of data collection used were group interviews, psychometric scales and participant observation. The following Scales were applied: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule X (PANASX) and WellBeing IndexWHO5. Group interviews were conducted at the beginning and end of elective discipline. Participant observations were recorded during the course. The qualitative data were analyzed through the methodology of Content Thematic Categorical Analysis and the quantitative data through descriptive and comparative statistical analysis. As a main result, there were significant changes between preand postintervention in the positive and negative affect scale scores (PANASX). The other variables did not show a significant difference (p> 0.05). The qualitative results revealed five categories of analysis: 1. I am responsible for all, almost like a superhero; 2. Search for selfknowledge and selfcontrol; 3. Difficulty of living the present moment and anxiety to control the future; 4. The meditative practice of mindfulness for selfperception and handling of emotions; 5. The experience marked by kindness and gentleness, for spirituality. Conclusion: the discipline promoted integral health with reduction of negative affections, with abilities for the handling of emotions and the cultivation of spirituality.

Introduction: End-of-life care should be marked by the re-appraisal of the spiritual dimension. Objective: This work sought to understand the role of spirituality in the lives of families with a loved one in end-of-life situation. Materials and Methods: This qualitative research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 15 relatives of patients with serious diseases cared for in the primary health care network in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The data were organized and analyzed according to the methodological figures of the Collective Subject Discourse technique. Results: Spirituality represents a unique role for the families, as it helps to give meaning to life experiences, above all those directly involved with disease and death. However, they find no space to express those issues with the health professionals, with whom they should have a bond and co-responsibility for care based on integrality. Discussion and Conclusions These families recognize spirituality as a strengthening element against difficulties confronted with the illness, but strongly depend on the health staff's availability to increase their experience.

Objetivo: Esse estudo visou compreender os saberes dos estudantes de fisioterapia sobre espiritualidade no cuidado centrado ao paciente. Métodos: Os participantes foram 40 estudantes de fisioterapia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo, campus Baixada Santista, que estão matriculados no estágio obrigatório, e que responderam um questionário virtual com perguntas objetivas que foram elaboradas pela autora a partir da literatura e o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life - Spiritual, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB) que é composto por 32 itens, organizados em oito facetas: (1) conexão a ser ou força espiritual; (2) sentido na vida; (3) admiração; (4) totalidade e integração; (5) força espiritual; (6) paz interior; (7) esperança e otimismo e (8) fé. Essas oito categorias se agrupam em quatro seções: (1) Conexão Espiritual, Fé, Força Espiritual; (2) Paz interior, Totalidade e Integração; (3) Sentido na Vida, Esperança e Otimismo e (4) Admiração. Resultados: Os resultados foram analisados pelo método descritivo, em que dos 40 participantes, 55% pensam que a espiritualidade influencia muito na saúde do paciente, e 60% relatam ser pertinente abordar a espiritualidade no atendimento, sendo que esse mesmo número se sente pouco preparado para tal abordagem. Além disso, 87,50% relatam que o tema “Espiritualidade e Saúde” deveria ser incluído no currículo de fisioterapia, e os resultados do WHOQOL-SRPB mostraram maior pontuação na faceta “Sentido da Vida” com média de 17,3(±2,2). Conclusão: Conclui-se que os estudantes compreendem e reconhecem a espiritualidade como importante para o cuidado centrado na pessoa, entretanto tem dificuldades em abordar a espiritualidade nas práticas de estágio. Na percepção dos estudantes esse tema deveria ser melhor abordado durante a formação.

(Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto / Universidade de São Paulo, 2011-10-01) Tomasso, Claudia de Souza; Beltrame, Ideraldo Luiz; Lucchetti, Giancarlo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Nove de Julho Diretoria de Ciências da Saúde; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Associação Médico-Espírita de São Paulo Departamento de Pesquisa
This study compares the knowledge and attitudes of nursing professors and students concerning the interface between spirituality, religiosity and health. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 nursing professors and 118 students. The results reveal that more than 95% of the participants had some religious affiliation, 96% believed that spirituality considerably influences patients' health, and 77% wished to address this subject. However, only 36% felt prepared for it and most believed that the university did not provide the necessary information. No statistical differences were found between the religious practices of nursing professors and students, though a marked difference was found in their clinical practices and opinions concerning spirituality and its inclusion in the program's curriculum. The most common barriers to addressing such a subject were: fear of imposing one's own beliefs, lack of time, and fear of offending patients.

Background: To evaluate the relationship between spirituality/religiosity (S/R) and the attitudes, beliefs and experiences of medical students in Brazil with respect to S/R in their undergraduate training and clinical practice.Methods: SBRAME (Spirituality and Brazilian Medical Education) is a multicenter study involving 12 Brazilian medical schools with 5950 medical students (MS). Participants completed a questionnaire that collected information on socio-demographic data and S/R in their undergraduate training and practice.Results: of all MS, 3630 participated in the survey (61.0%). the sample was 53.8% women and the mean age was 22.5 years. the majority of MS believed that spirituality has an impact on patients' health (71.2%) and that this impact was positive (68.2%). the majority also wanted to address S/R in their clinical practice (58.0%) and considered it relevant (75.3%), although nearly one-half (48.7%) felt unprepared to do so. Concerning their training, most MS reported that they had never participated in a spirituality and health activity (81.0%) and that their medical instructors had never or rarely addressed this issue (78.3%). the majority also believed that they should be prepared to address spiritual issues related to the health of their patients (61.6%) and that this content should be included in the medical curriculum (62.6%).Conclusion: There is a large gap between MS attitudes and expectations and the S/R training that they are receiving during their undergraduate training. the majority of MS surveyed believe that patients should have their beliefs addressed and that these beliefs could have important effects on their health and the doctor-patient relationship. These results should stimulate discussion about the place that S/R training should have in the medical curriculum.

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016) Vitorino, Luciano Magalhaes [UNIFESP]; Vianna, Lucila Amaral Carneiro [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6124111600274508; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3703970591088361; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Objectives: The objectives of this study were: 1) to investigate the association of spiritual religious coping (SRC) strategies and quality of life (QOL) of nursing home residents (NHRs); 2) to compare the effects of positive SRC and negative SRC on the QOL of older adults residents in nursing home and community-dwelling; 3) to assess the psychometric properties of the BRIEF-SRC scale using exploratory and confirmatory analysis. Methods: Analytical study with design or cross-sectional and probability sampling was conducted between September 2013 and March 2014, with 326 community-dwelling residents (CDRs) of the cities of Santa Rita do Sapucai and Pouso Alegre, both located in the southern state of Minas Gerais. For comparison, secondary data research was held in 2010 with 77 older adults residents in two nursing home, located in the same cities of CDRs. To collect data, a questionnaire on sociodemographic and health, Mini-Mental State Examination (for CDRs), BRIEFSRC scale, WHOQOL-BREF instrument and the WHOQOL-OLD module were used. For statistical analysis, the bivariate tests and multivariate models were used. For psychometric analysis of BRIEF-SRC scale was used factor analysis: exploratory and confirmatory. Results: The mean age of the CDRs was 67.22 (SD ± 4.84) years and NHRs was 76.56 ±9.46 years. Most of the CDRs was female (68.1%), about NHRs, the distribution was balanced with 50.6% female. Regarding the NHRs, most aspects of QOL was positively correlated with the positive SRC and Total SRC. It was observed that the SRC behaviors were significantly associated with QOL in both groups of older adults, but the effect of positive SRC was higher among NHRs in six aspects of QOL. Identified through the psychometric properties that BRIEF-SRC scale is a promising scale, but other psychometric analyzes are needed, especially in the dimension of negative SRC. The findings confirm an alternative model with 34 items and not 49 items and the use of only positive SRC and negative SRC and exclusion of the total score. Conclusion: The SRC strategies were associated with most aspects of QOL of both older adults groups, with highlighted on the QOL of NHRs. The findings suggest an alternative model of BRIEF-SRC scale with 34 items that can reduce the burden of researchers, health care professionals and patients. These findings may help researchers and health care professionals to better understand the importance of religious and spiritual beliefs practices on the QOL of older adults, and encourage the inclusion of activities that promote increased older adult’s QOL.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of spiritual well-being in mental health of college students. METHODS: It was interviewed 464 medical and law students of Pelotas, Brazil. Data collection was carried out in groups in the school classroom, 43 absent students were not interviewed and represented a loss of 9.3% of the sample. It was used a self-reported questionnaire with three instruments: 1) Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), 2) SRQ-20, and 3) a precoded questionnaire with questions on sociodemographic data, religious/spiritual practices, and stressful life events. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. RESULTS: Most of the students (80%) declared that they had a spiritual belief and/or religious denomination. The mean score of spiritual well-being was 90.4 with scores 45.6 and 45.1 in the existential and religious subscales, respectively. SWBS showed an association with religious practices, but it was not influenced by sociodemographic and cultural variables. Subjects presenting low and moderate spiritual well-being showed a doubled risk of presenting minor psychiatric disorders (MPD) (OR=0.42; 95%CI: 0.22-0.85). Subjects presenting low or moderate existential well-being showed almost five times more MPD (OR=0.19; 95%CI: 0.08-0.45). CONCLUSIONS: The study reveals spiritual well-being as a protection factor for minor psychiatric disorders, and that the results were mostly due to the Existential Well-Being subscale.

The present study aims to understand the relation between religious beliefs, physicians' behavior and patients' opinions regarding Spirituality, religiosity and health (S/R) issues, and what makes a patient more prone to accept a physician to address his/her spiritual issues. A cross-sectional study was carried out in outpatients from a tertiary hospital, and a path analysis was used to examine the direct and indirect relationships between the variables. for the final analysis, 300 outpatients were evaluated. Most patients would like their doctors to address S/R issues but did not feel comfortable to ask them. in contrast, they reported most doctors have never addressed S/R issues, and they believe doctors are not prepared to address these issues. the path analysis revealed that patients' previous experiences with their doctors may be as important as their religious/spiritual beliefs in proneness to accept a physician to address his/her spiritual issues.

Objective: to present a brief history of Spiritism, the vision of epilepsy by Spiritism, and the potential of spirituality and religiosity care as complementary and coadjutants treatments in epilepsy. Method: this is a brief review about the impact of faith, spirituality, and religiosity, particularly the Spiritism philosophy as complementary treatment to neurological disorders (particularly focusing on epilepsy) and mental health. We conduct a review of published articles (about religion/spirituality and epilepsy) in the Pubmed and SciELO databases. Conclusion: the exercise of spirituality and religiosity can be a positive coping strategy to support the traditional therapy of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. However, it is necessary to demystify myths and beliefs about the epilepsy and improve knowledge about this important health dimension among professionals, patients, and caregivers to explore their full treatment and supportive potential.

Spiritual Religious Coping is Associated with Quality of Life in Institutionalized Older Adults
(Springer, 2016) Vitorino, Luciano Magalhaes [UNIFESP]; Lucchetti, Giancarlo; Santos, Ana Eliza Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Lucchetti, Alessandra L. G.; Ferreira, Eric Batista; Adami, Nilce Piva [UNIFESP]; Vianna, Lucila Amaral Carneiro [UNIFESP]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual/religious coping (SRCOPE) strategies and quality of life (QoL) in institutionalized older adults. This is a cross-sectional, correlational study, with a sample of 77 older adults in Brazil. The present study found long-term care patients use religious and spiritual coping strategies to deal with their chronic health conditions. Positive SRCOPE and Total SRCOPE have positive correlations with most QoL domains from the WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF. On the other hand, Negative SRCOPE strategies correlated negatively with the facets of "death and dying" from the WHOQOL-OLD. These results suggest the need for an integrative approach for long-term care patients, considering the positive and negative aspects of coping.

Background: According to recent surveys, 59% of British medical schools and 90% of US medical schools have courses or content on spirituality and health (S/H). There is little research, however, on the teaching of S/H in medical schools in other countries, such as those in Latin America, Asia, Australia and Africa. the present study seeks to investigate the current status of teaching on S/H in Brazilian medical schools.Methods: All medical schools in Brazil (private and public) were selected for evaluation, were contacted by email and phone, and were administered a questionnaire. the questionnaire, sent by e-mail, asked medical school directors/deans about any S/H courses that were taught, details about those courses, S/H lectures or seminars, importance of teaching this subject for medical school directors, and medical schools characteristics.Results: A total of 86 out of 180 (47.7%) medical schools responded. Results indicated that 10.4% of Brazilian Medical Schools have a dedicated S/H courses and 40.5% have courses or content on spirituality and health. Only two medical schools have S/H courses that involve hands-on training and three schools have S/H courses that teach how to conduct a spiritual history. the majority of medical directors (54%) believe that S/H is important to teach in their schools.Conclusion: Few Brazilian medical schools have courses dealing specifically with S/H and less than half provide some form of teaching on the subject. Unfortunately, there is no standard curriculum on S/H. Nevertheless, the majority of medical directors believe this issue is an important subject that should be taught.

We aim to evaluate studies dealing with the incorporation of spirituality in medical education and to list the most scientific productive countries in this field. A bibliographical review was carried out. the final sample comprised 38 articles, which were divided into sub-topics for a clearer description. From these articles, 31 (81.5%) were provided by US medical schools, 3 (7.8%) by Canadian medical schools and 4 (10.5%) from other countries. the studies in this review indicate a predominance of studies related to health/medicine and spirituality in US and Canadian medical schools. New studies outside North America are needed in order to address what is being taught, whether courses are evaluated and what is the student and faculty opinions regarding this educational topic in multiple cultures.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Duke Religion Index (PDUREL) in a community setting. PDUREL was translated and adapted for administration to 383 individuals from a population-based study of low-income community-dwelling adults. the PDUREL intrinsic subscale and total scores demonstrated high internal consistency (alphas ranging from 0.733 for the total scale score to 0.758 for the intrinsic subscale). Correlations among the DUREL subscales were also examined for evidence of discriminant validity. Correlations were ranging from 0.36 to 0.46, indicating significant overlap between the scales without marked redundancy. PDUREL is a reliable and valid scale. the availability of a comprehensive, but brief measure of religiousness can help to study the role of religiousness in health by researchers from countries that speak the Portuguese language.
