Análise da abordagem da espiritualidade nos currículos de graduação em enfermagem: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Often, spirituality and religiosity are treated as synonyms, even among nursing professionals, and this confusion is not accidental: it stems primarily from the fact that it is a topic rarely addressed during academic training. Given these premises, and the social and scientific relevance of the spiritual dimension in care, the objective of this review is to analyze how spirituality has been addressed in academic nursing training. This is a descriptive study, a narrative literature review. To synthesize the objectives, the main results and conclusions presented in the retrieved studies emerged from three thematic axes: Pedagogical methodologies and spirituality in nursing education; Inclusion of spirituality in the undergraduate curriculum; and Perceptions and challenges in addressing the topic among nursing students and professionals. Therefore, it becomes essential to analyze the pedagogical guidelines of undergraduate education in order to integrate spirituality as a transversal axis in the teaching-learning process.
