Introduction: Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with serious illnesses. In this type of care, spirituality is placed alongside other dimensions: physical, psychological, and social. The end of life brings confrontation with dilemmas such as "none of this makes sense" or "was it worth it?" The acceptance or rejection of the journey presents spirituality as a dimension that accompanies the person in their existence. Interventions that allow for a review of life help facilitate reflection on regrets, unresolved issues, and an understanding of the legacy that generates comfort and dignity. The objective of this research was to evaluate the evolution of hope and acceptance among patients visited by the Palliative Care Community Support Team from Baixo Mondego (PCCST-BM) in Portugal.
