RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo: demonstrar a relação entre o coping religioso/espiritual e a esperança em pacientes com câncer em tratamento quimioterápico. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em um ambulatório de referência em tratamento quimioterápico de Caruaru-PE, entre agosto e outubro de 2017. Participaram da pesquisa 82 pessoas com câncer em tratamento quimioterápico, utilizando-se a escala de coping religioso/espiritual breve (CRE-Breve) e a escala de esperança de Herth (EEH). Resultados: a amostra apresentou escores médios de CRE positivo (3,03 ± 0,41), e o nível de esperança foi considerado alto (42,7 pontos; ± 3,67). Verificou-se que os pacientes que tiveram classificação alta do CRET apresentaram maior média do nível de esperança de Herth (44,12 pontos). Conclusão: este estudo torna-se relevante aos profissionais de enfermagem ao encorajar cuidados que contemplem a dimensão espiritual do paciente a fim de estimular os mecanismos positivos do CRE e, consequentemente, elevar os níveis de esperança.ABSTRACT Aim: To demonstrate the relationship between religious/spiritual coping and hope in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach performed in a reference outpatient clinic in Caruaru, PE, between August and October 2017. A total of 82 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were included in the study, using the brief religious/spiritual coping scale (RCOPE-Brief) and the Herth Hope Scale (HHS). Results: The sample presented mean positive RCOPE scores (3.03 ± 0.41) and the level of hope was considered high (42.7 points ± 3.67). Patients who had a high RCOPE score were found to have a higher mean of Herth’s level of hope (44.12 points). Conclusion: This study becomes relevant to nursing professionals by encouraging care that takes into account the patient’s spiritual dimension in order to stimulate positive mechanisms of religious coping and, consequently, raise the levels of hope.
