Abstract
Introduction: The need of palliative care patients to address the spiritual and meaning issues in their lives that may arise at the near prospect of death led to the design of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (PCS) or Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP). Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to deepen the knowledge of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (PCS) and its intervention in the palliative care setting, thus learning about the psychological effects that may occur in patients with advanced cancer. Results: The main variables where there was a greater improvement by applying PCS were “spiritual well-being,” followed by “desire for accelerated death,” as well as an increase in “quality of life,” and a decrease in the symptoms of “anxiety,” “depression” and “hopelessness.” Conclusion: The results show the need for specific action protocols with proven efficacy such as Meaning-Centered Therapy.
