Zusammenfassung

Background According to a phenomenology of contemporary religion, the analysis of religious experiences finds that they are part of an individual’s search for something powerful that overcomes him seeking not only a need, but the meaning of all existence.

The present study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the religious experiences of people living with cancer in palliative care (PC) and fill gaps in access to experience, with regard to how it was properly lived.

Methods A qualitative, phenomenological, cross-sectional study was conducted with 14 people living with cancer undergoing PC at two outpatient clinics of a public hospital.

The experiences were accessed through in-depth interviews and the results were analysed according to the principles of classical phenomenology.

Results The patients confidently surrendered to the divine, attributing to it the power of continuity of life or not, which sustained them and launched them into horizons of hope, directing them to possibilities of achieving meaning in life, which it fed back their faith and to continue living, opening them up to an intense perception of the value of life.

Conclusions The religious positions of confident surrender to the divine, to his will and a belief in his intervention, regardless of the outcome, opened possibilities to patients for the belief in the continuity of life by the power of faith.

This position allowed the patients in this study to visualize achievements in the present and in the future, opening a horizon of hope, meaning and value of living.

This study showed how this elements are presented and sustained, providing subsidies to health professionals seeking to provide more holistic care.
