Abstract

The pandemic had multidimensional consequences. Healthcare professionals were affected due to stressful and traumatic situations over time. The objective is to analyze spirituality as one of the main themes derived from the experiences lived by a group of health professionals in critical patient units during the pandemic. This is a study with a hermeneutical phenomenological approach, with in-depth interviews with 30 health professionals in Chile. The data analysis was thematic and the corresponding ethical safeguards were maintained. It was found that spirituality is related to the reflection and spiritual beliefs of the health team, and that spirituality is rediscovered from the dehumanizing professional and personal experience to which the pandemic leads.
