ABSTRACT

Introduction: spiritual anamnesis is fundamental to familiarity with patients beliefs. It enables health professionals to: investigate how patients face the treatment, understand the role and importance of religion in the life of this individual, how much spirituality may interfere in the health-disease process and in the disease experience. It also helps detect spiritual needs and mobilize resources to promote the biopsychosocial and spiritual wellness of the individual. Objective: identify spiritual questionnaires in literature. Methods: This article is a bibliographic review. Researching was on books and electronically based from August to December 2014. PUBMED and SCIELO databases were used in English and Portuguese. Inclusion factors: short, brief and easy to memorize questions to know if the patients beliefs interfere in medical treatments and to what extent. Exclusion factors: not try to convert or to interfere with the patients rights, not try to influence their beliefs or to make anamnesis on emergency situations or acute medical consultations. Results: based on the questions of seven samples of spiritual questionnaires found in literature, health professionals identified the patients spiritual needs and the beliefs likely to interfere in the doctor-patient relationship and in the therapeutic conduct as such. The anamnesis models found converge in some points, but differ mainly as to time excess some questionnaires demand (due to the large number of questions) when compared to others (shorter) and/or when going deeper into a particular aspect of beliefs, leaving some important points out. Conclusion: the anamnesis found are as follows: FICA Questionnaire; HOPE Questionnaire, Kunhs Spiritual Inventory, CSI-MEMO, ACP Spiritual History, Matthews Spiritual History, Maugans Spiritual History. The main points found in these seven questionnaires are: resources mobilization to meet the patients spiritual demands; to what extent spirituality may interfere both in adherence to the treatment and in the clinical treatment and in strengthening the doctor-patient relationship.
