Abstract:
Much has been said about the implications of spirituality and religiosity on anxiety and pre-surgical depression, but very little has been done in this field by health teams, usually being in charge of hospital chaplaincy and religious groups that type of approach. Thus, the research object was the records and protocols of pre-operative nursing care published in the last five years, with the objective of evaluating and quantifying the records and protocols of preoperative nursing care that relate their application, with The diagnosis of the NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) taxonomy risk of spiritual distress. The research was done through an online tool that organizes all the information of world-wide scope and that makes them of easy access, such tool of consultations receives the name of "Public Domain". In view of the bibliographic survey carried out in order to subsidize the research, it is clear that the performance of the nurses turned to spiritual care is totally executable, since spirituality does not give priority to having or not having a religious denomination, showing that it occurs independently, Applied by all professionals who do so, regardless of the creed. However, in assessing the records and protocols available in the public domain regarding the use of the diagnosis "Risk for Spiritual Suffering", in fact, only one protocol used this care in a complete way, that is, by mentioning, or rather actively using The NANDA, NOC, and NIC taxonomies.
