The purpose of this study was to describe the level of spiritual wellbeing in family caregivers living with childeren thata have chronic diseases. This is a descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional type study, which used the spiritual wellbeing scale as described by Ellison. The finding allowed to identigy the level of spiritual wellbeing, which reached a mean of 39 given by 75% of caregivers with a value of 48 and 25% of those obtained a value of 31. This, according to Ellison's scale, is both representative and valuable since caregivers keep a high level of spirituality. The frequency of spirituality related issues got a value of 13 in this study with 70 participanting caregivers. Conclusions allowed to dientify the level os spiritual wellbeing of those caregivers in children with chronic diseases in the Jorge Bejarano Children's Hospital, belonging to the National Social Health Insurance Institute (ISS) in Colombia. This level of spirituality should be promoted, kept and strengthened via valuation and identification of spiritual needs. |
