Resumen

Resumen
Los pacientes con cáncer colorrectal sufren múltiples dolencias físicas y mentales que los llevan a buscar refugio en la espiritualidad. El objetivo de la investigación fue comprender la manera como las personas con cáncer colorrectal experimentan la espiritualidad durante su enfermedad. Para esto, se realizó una investigación fenomenológica con 12 pacientes con cáncer colorrectal, los audios de las entrevistas fueron trascritos y analizados en unidades de significado temáticas. La experiencia de los participantes con cáncer colorrectal se representa con un tema central denominado “Del cáncer a nacer, reformulando la enfermedad por medio de la espiritualidad”; y los subtemas: “La espiritualidad como una fuente de fortaleza para afrontar la enfermedad”, “Tener fe en un ser supremo que guía los médicos, un camino para perder el miedo a la muerte y la enfermedad”, “Volver a vivir después de estar condenado a morir” y “Trascender del cáncer a nacer”. Se concluye que trascender del cáncer a nacer por medio de la espiritualidad, brinda a los pacientes con cáncer colorrectal la fortaleza para afrontar la enfermedad, perder el miedo a la muerte y les da la esperanza de volver a vivir después de estar condenados a morir.
