Abstract

Spirituality, historically neglected in medical practice, has been gaining ground in scientific discussions due to its positive impact on physical and mental health. This review aims to analyze the scientific evidence on the relationship between spirituality/religiosity and health, with a focus on clinical practice. Articles, dissertations and documents from international organizations were reviewed. Studies indicate that spirituality contributes to well-being, quality of life, and adherence to treatment, especially in patients with chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. It is concluded that the spiritual approach should be considered in medical care, respecting individual beliefs, and integrated with professional training.
