"Man shall not perish by the suffering. However, he is destroyed by suffering without meaning." (Victor Frankl)
Healthy lifestyle not belong to everyone. As a result, many diseases mengakrabi some of us. How many diseases are popular today, such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, hepatitis, dengue fever, chicken pox, kidney failure, cancer, HIV / AIDS, and avian flu.
Not to mention the rare diseases, such as the burger's disease suffered by Danny Hoffmann (badminton coach) or multiple sclerosis (MS) suffered by the "Pepeng" Soebardi, and so forth.
Pain is an abstract concept which refers to the sensation of personal injury (private, personal) or a harmful stimulus current or future damage to body tissues.
As a result of the pain stimulus, of course, is not comfortable. Especially in people with acute illnesses, they often experience negative feelings, such as anxious, confused, uncomfortable, and become sensitive.
In an interview conducted by the author of several people who have seriously ill (hospitalized), appears many expressions that show the picture that accompanies the feeling that pain.
One says, "The pain that's not just physical. Like the stroke was not only physical, but added more feeling insecure."
Others say, "if the sick person as if the greatest pain. Need served ...."
Another one says, "People's hearts hurt more sensitive, sensitive feelings." There are simply saying, "Pain is a enggak good ...." The rest said, "All I want is how I feel able to relax."
Subjective experience
Pain is a subjective experience that is difficult to understand by others, including nurses. This is illustrated Copp (Baylor, 1982) from the survey results. He reported, many patients felt that the nurses did not care for sick patients response.
Other researchers, Taylor, stated that patients in hospital showed psychological symptoms, particularly anxiety and depression, so do not rule out this psychological condition will only worsen their pain.
Petrie (Baylor, 1982) see the reality of a variety of perceptions about the experience of illness, he developed the idea of distinguishing the individual as augmenters or REDUCERS.
Augmenters are people who exaggerate the pain experience and vice versa REDUCERS are people who consider the experience mild illness. Nurses or patients, including some augmenters, there is a REDUCERS.
Combination REDUCERS augmenters and the nurse and the patient can result in complications in exploring and treating patients with pain experience.
Although conditions are generally considered unpleasant illness, many patients who reported that pain experience can be valuable or meaningful an event.
Baylor quoting a humanist view, Joyce Travelbee, that pain and suffering can become self-actualization if a person is assisted to find meaning in the experience of pain.
How meaningful?
Many sad stories about people sick. Especially those who experienced the disease for years, suffering is certainly not considered finished. In addition to the pain, discomfort also occur because of physical and mental activity inhibited. Not to mention the loss of jobs, loss of certain body parts because of diabetes, a burger's disease, and so on.
Not infrequently patients desperate to kill himself. However, we also know there are people who can survive and remain optimistic face serious illness. Surely we deserve to give thumbs up, even standing Ovation.
Importance of spirituality
Spirituality is the key word that makes a person find meaning of his life. There is no absolute definition for spirituality. Even so, a writer in the British medical journal summarizes the essence of spirituality tries in the context of health as follows:
"Spirituality is a quality that exceeds the religious affiliation, that inspires, reverence, awe, meaning and purpose .... Dimensions of spirituality include efforts to maintain harmony with the universe and struggling to find the answers to something infinite and find focus when a person faces emotional stress, physical illness, and death. " (Foster, 2005).
Spirituality is closely related to religious commitment. A number of studies found a link between religious commitment and unhealthy conditions (morbidity, mortality) in patients with various diseases.
Among the more frequently visited a place of prayer, the number of deaths is less than that have never visited the place of prayer services (Puchalsky, 2001). This shows that spirituality or religious commitment is very useful for people with ill health.
Puchalsky, practitioners from George Washington University Medical Center, also noted the survey results show that spirituality is very important for the patient. Most patients want doctors who discuss their spiritual beliefs.
Survey results appear in accordance with reality. Many people actually find the meaning of life through the experience of pain. This seems to happen because they are sick, as well as others that are having pain or other hardship, need answers to their limited conditions. They missed the answer to the problems encountered could not own limitations.
Finding focus
In the unbalanced condition with the illness, a person faced with the reality to maintain harmony with the universe, trying hard to find the answer to something infinite, and find focus when faced with emotional stress, physical illness, and death.
From here at last is born of inspiration, a sense of respect and awe for life, sense of meaning and purpose. That is the spirituality that developed in sickness!
Why did they managed to find that kind of spirituality? One thing that needs to be listened to in the stories of public figures above is that the powerlessness that they found the love of a very large, especially from people nearby, and also the attention of other people who knew them.
Love is what is the source of their spirituality. Love is what provides the inspiration for them to stay alive, find strength, meaning, and purpose.
In the end we are faced with the question: what will happen to those who do not get the love for it? They hope to find the spirituality of the doctor or anyone else who cared for him.
When no answer from them, let us try harder in solidarity with those who are sick in a remote, lonely, without anyone else who loves.
