Target audience note ABSTRACT

The principal objective of this study is to recognize how spirituality as an aspect of care affects in patient's healing. In this regard, spirituality is taken as part of healing not merely in the absence or occurrence of disease or infirmity. In this regard, the study explores the spiritual experience of a physically ill person.

A phenomenological qualitative methodology was used in the interviews with three (3) respondents who were physically ill. This method was more appropriate in producing information on culturally sensitive issues or behaviors as well as studying the determinants of those behaviors. Through semi-structured individual interviews, the researchers explored the spiritual experiences of the participants.The primary sources of data were the participants chosen for individual discussion process. The data were solicited through discussions, reactions, and interactions with every individual concerned. An unstructured interview with one member of their family was used to cross check the information provided during the individual discussions. The data gathered which were recorded on tapes were transcribed guided by the written notes of the researchers while in the process of interviewing and conducting the individual discussions. The data were coded and categorized based on the guide questions arising from the statement of the problem: 1) How does spirituality as an aspect of care affect healing? 2) What are the spiritual beliefs and practices observed in healing? and 3) What are the factors that affect spirituality as an aspect of care? Major themes were identified in the analysis of the interviews. The themes included: disease/illness, fear/dread, moral support, healing, faith, belief, miracle, peace, prayer, and self surrender to God. Each of these themes is interdependent and intertwined. In the discussion of the results, the strengths and limitations of the study are presented and implications for clinical, educational, and pastoral applications are provided for. One motivating force for the ill persons is to be supported and be provided with the care they need. As to their sources of hope and strength, it is not only the health facility that can provide them with such but also the people most especially their families, and God, who is the substantial of their faith. With regard to their faith, the clients experienced healing; all of them believed in the existence of the Supreme Being. They trust that God will take care of them especially their health. A spiritual effect was that faith became stronger; it made them closer to God. They learned to surrender everything to God's hand; they found peace of mind and of spirit. They became more hopeful and prayerful. With this, the spiritual aspect of caring in each individual is facilitated and provided more strength to the physical aspect. Caring in essence is one of the core thrusts of every health care provider. As students and future carers of individuals, they must imbibe spirituality in every action to enrich their spirit.

Key words: Spirituality, Aspect of Care, Patient's healing
