The aim of this article is to describe the spiritual aspects of palliative care of Muslim patients based on experiences of end-of-life care in Iran. The religions of the world play a major part in the life cycle of their adherents, and most have rituals and beliefs concerning the care of dying people. For Muslims, death is believed to be not only the cessation of a complex set of biochemical processes, but also a belief that the spirit continues to live and dying is a passage from this world to the resurrection. The spirit is believed to be eternal and does not perish with death. According to Muslims' beliefs, reading of the Quran (the main religious text) can produce peace of mind in those who are near death. Nursing research has shown that the spiritual dimension of care infiltrates all aspects of nursing care. Palliative care nurses need to be informed about religious aspects of people around the world as a part of palliative care. This article indicates the methods of attending to spiritual care for Muslim patients based upon our experiences in Iran.
本文旨在基于伊朗临终关怀的经验,描述穆斯林患者姑息治疗的精神层面。世界上的宗教在其信徒的生命周期中扮演着重要角色,大多数宗教都有关于照顾垂死者的仪式和信仰。对于穆斯林来说,死亡不仅被认为是一系列复杂生化过程的停止,而且还相信灵魂会继续存在,死亡是从这个世界到复活的过渡。灵魂被认为是永恒的,不会随死亡而消亡。根据穆斯林的信仰,诵读《古兰经》(主要宗教文本)能给濒死者带来心灵的平静。护理研究表明,护理的精神层面渗透到护理的各个方面。姑息治疗护士需要了解世界各地人们的宗教方面,作为姑息治疗的一部分。本文根据我们在伊朗的经验,指出了照顾穆斯林患者精神护理的方法。
