Introduction: Spirituality is one of the important resources which may help to overcome a moment of crisis and suffering. As nurses and members of amultidisciplinary team, we have every professional, moral, and ethical interest in knowing the spiritual dimension of the chronically hospitalised patient, whichwill allow us to provide more personalised care.
Objective/s: To identify forms of spirituality experienced by the person with a hospitalised chronic illness and determine how they correlate with socio-demographic, family and clinical variables.
Methods: Non-experimental, cross-sectional descriptive-correlational and quantitative study, used in a non-probability convenience sample consisting of 307 individuals. Data were collected through a questionnaire, applied between January and June 2013, to people with chronic pathology in a hospitalenvironment.
Results: Participants report that “spiritual/religious beliefs” give meaning to their life and strength in difficult times and have learned to value the small thingsin life, however less than half of the sample sees their future with hope. The predictors of spirituality were revealed to be “age” (10.4%) and “familyfunctioning” (10.4%), varying positively.
Conclusion: Spirituality is a coping resource highly present in people with a hospitalised chronic disease, and “age” and “family functioning” were predictors ofspirituality.
