ABSTRACT
Objetive: to evaluate the effect of Thanatology counseling in burn patients through the FaCITSp12
spiritual well-being scale.
Methodolog: the study population comprised of hospitalized patients with several burn injuries.
Socio-demographic information was collected, and participants completed the FACIT-Sp12 scale
for spiritual well-being assessment the first and last day of hospital stay. Thanatology counseling
was provided to them through the complete hospitalization time. Descriptive statistics was calculated
for socio-demographic variables and non-parametric tests to calculate differences between
obtained scores.
Results: the sample included 107 burn patients and scored 35.7 in the FACIT-Sp12 scale applied
at baseline. This score increased to 40.7 at the end of treatment, which indicates an improvement
in the spiritual well-being of patients and this difference was statistically significant (
Z = −6.53,
p = 0.000).
Conclusion: thanatology counseling should be included as part of the integral treatment given to
burn patients because it has showed to improve their spiritual well-being, therefore it has a positive
effect in their recovery during their hospital stay.
