SUMMARY:

Spiritual care is considered an essential part of the overall treatment planned to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families. Spiritual suffering is very present and ignorance of the disease and all that it means causes great uncertainties. Guided by this statement, this study aims at spirituality in the process of uncertainty in the disease in cancer patients, with the guiding question: How is spirituality configured in the process of uncertainty in the disease in cancer patients, according to the Nursing Theory of Merle Mishel? It is a qualitative research, in which Merle Mishel's Theory of Uncertainty in Disease was used as a theoretical framework, and the steps of Bardin's content analysis as a methodological framework. As a technique for obtaining information, the semi-structured interview was used, consisting of three parts: the first, with sociodemographic data; the second, for obtaining spiritual history, using the CSI-MEMO instrument, and the third, which measured the uncertainty in the disease, using the adapted Merle Mishel disease uncertainty scale. Eleven patients undergoing treatment at the High Complexity Assistance Center in Oncology of the Professor Alberto Antunes University Hospital participated in the study, ten of whom were female and one male, with various types of cancer and some cases of metastasis. Through their speeches it was possible to identify five categories: 1) Religious / spiritual beliefs as sources of comfort from the uncertainty in the disease; 2) Religious / spiritual beliefs and the way they influence decisions; 3) Spiritual / religious beliefs as strategies for coping with cancer; 4) Sources of support during the walk and 5) Expectations around the cure. The answer to the research question showed that spirituality in the face of uncertainty in the disease varies from patient to patient, acting in a unique way in each one. That is, they showed attitudes of readaptation in their reports, and the presence of spirituality in their lives acted as the main force mechanism to deal with the uncertainty in the disease, being this moment called by Mishel probabilistic thinking: the patient is able to live and deal with your uncertainties in the perspective that you receive and result in the cure or alleviation of your suffering.
