The objective was to analyze the contribution of nursing clinical care for psycho-spiritual comfort of women with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), mediated by research-care based on the Comfort Theory. The subjects were nine women admitted with AMI from April to June 2011 in a Cardiology hospital in Sobral, Ceará, Brazil. The first meeting took place at the admission and lasted around six hours, after that there were three more meetings. For data collection and analysis we used individual semi-structured interviews, field diary, participant observation and thematic category content analysis. The cares implemented in the psycho-spiritual context were: strengthen the spirituality; clarify the illness; help in coping with new the health condition and situations of mental confusion and disorientation. The perception of psycho-spiritual comfort was present through the implementation of clinical cares in this context, using research-care based on the Comfort Theory.
