Abstract

Objective: To reflect on self-care and spirituality in times of contingency due to COVID-19.
Development: In view of the global declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, different control measures have been implemented worldwide, highlighting voluntary physical isolation in order to contain the propagation of the virus; thus, mankind faces a very unusual phenomenon where distancing stands out. Foucault, Heidegger, and Watson contemplate elementary concepts to reflect on introspection and spirituality as types of self-care, allowing the individuals to effectively face isolation, while fostering their resilience and development as human beings.
Final considerations: The type of spiritual care that Nursing can provide is an area which turns into the main interest in order to contribute in the mental health of the people in isolation, that is, an opportunity for the promotion of health.
