Spirituality and suffering of patients with heart failure = Spiritualité et souffrance des patients avec une insuffisance cardiaque

Article indépendant

WESTLAKE, Cheryl | DYO, Melissa

La trajectoire de la maladie pour les patients souffrant d'une insuffisance cardiaque est imprévisible et la mort peut survenir de façon subite sans avoir été anticipée par le malade. La prise en charge de ces patients se centre davantage sur les problèmes physiques tels que les difficultés respiratoires, la douleur et la fatigue plutôt que sur les besoins spirituels ou la souffrance du patient. Ces patients sont donc désavantagés par rapport à d'autres atteints d'autres maladies terminales. Cet article montre qu'une prise en charge palliative c'est-à-dire considérant le patient dans sa globalité physique, psychologique, sociale et spirituelle est nécessaire pour les patients souffrant d'insuffisance cardiaque.
