The present study evaluates the contribution of religious management in the quality of life and depression symptoms on a sample of Puerto Rican patients (n = 70) that possess a diagnosis of cancer. The instruments utilized in this study were the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness therapy-spirituality (FACIT-SP), Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and BRIEF RCOPE. Statistical analysis were carried out, such as, descriptive statistics for the socio-demographic, analysis of correlation (Pearson r) and multiple regression. Correlational analyses demonstrated a significant and inverse relationship between the BDI-II, FACIT-SP, physical state and health, social and family environment and the spirituality. Regression analyses showed that variables such as spirituality and religious management were significant predictors of depression symptoms.
