Resumen

This study aimed to reflect on the spiritual care of nursing in palliative care from the conceptual perspective of Martin Heidegger. The approximation between Heidegger's philosophical aspects and palliative nursing practice, with a clinical view of spiritual care, promotes reflections on human existence and finitude. Being in palliative care can generate anguish, loss of meaning of life and connection with the world. The relationship of care between nurse and patient, which is established through language, favors comprehensive, intentional and humanized care, and is revealed as this relationship of care deepens. In this relational process, bonds begin to be established between nurse and patient, which can lead to authentic spiritual care. Approaching health from the spiritual dimension is a challenge, as it forces healthcare professionals to come into contact with existential issues of patients, families and themselves. Thus, reflection based on Heidegger's philosophical aspects allows us to become aware of the facticity of death.
