Spirituality at the end of life
Diana Gizella Sipőcz


Introduction
The possible health benefits of spirituality at end of life care became in focus in the last decades. Studies pay special attention to the relation between well-being, quality of life, coping, anxiety, depression, fear of death, suicide and spirituality.
Spirituality has multidimensional nature and has been defined in different ways. The central of most definitions are ultimate meaning of life and relationship to self, others, nature and the scared. Spirituality is often used interchangeably with phrase such as religion in many scientific studies. Despite this other researcher make strict difference of the define of these terms, most scholars agree
that spirituality and religion are related constructs.

Aims
Explore the relevancy of spirituality and changing of spirituality to end of life care and the
uniqueness of the Hungarian cultural approach to spirituality.

Method
A semi-structured interview -based qualitative research study will be conducted by terminal patient in hospice care. I will interview 30 hospice patients in Budapest Hospice House, interviews will last from 30 minutes to 1 hours depends on patient’s condition. Interviews would focus on two topics of discussion: 1. their spiritual lives and experiences now; 2. how they experienced their spirituality in earlier life.

Results
The examination is still in progress, the study might demonstrate evidence that confrontation with their own vulnerability raises in some patients the opening to spirituality or change his/her belief.

Conclusion
The knowledge of studies about spirituality is essential in ensuring that hospice team members are aware and able to recognize and respond to spiritual needs of patient.
