| Summary: | The development of the care plan for patients under palliative care must be unique and comprehensive, seeking to meet, as far as possible, the patient’s needs. Within this plan, the spiritual and religious axis stands out. To analyze the importance of this type of approach, we carried out an integrative review study. The articles analyzed should answer the guiding question “what does the literature say about spirituality and religiosity in the approach to patients under palliative care?”. The sample comprised 15 articles that show the multidisciplinary nature of the theme and point out the benefits of combining the spiritual and religious axis with care plans. We observed, however, that some practices and religious aspects can negatively influence the individual and the professional team feels unprepared to address and develop this issue with its patients. |
