OBJECTIVE: Validate the nursing diagnosis spiritual distress in cancer patients. METHODS: Cross-sectional approach using Richard Fehring's Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model. FINDINGS: The prevalence of diagnosis was 40.8% in a sample of 170 patients. A total of 16 defining characteristics were validated. Expresses suffering had the highest sensitivity value and lack of meaning in life had the highest specificity value. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis was validated. Cancer patients in spiritual distress are in a state of suffering related to lack of meaning in life. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Sensitive diagnosis tools and language are required for nurses to make accurate judgments in situations of spiritual distress. Validation in different contexts would increase the clinical evidence of this diagnosis.
