SOUZA, Deise Coelho de; CARVALHO, Patrícia Paiva    SCORSOLINI-COMIN, Fabio. Religiosity/spirituality in the hospital context: reflections and dilemmas from professional practice. []. , 28, 1, pp.55-61. ISSN 0104-3269.

Incorporating religiosity / spirituality (R / E) into health care has been a challenge for different professionals, including the psychologist. This study presents a report of professional experience about how the R / E was experienced in psychological care in the hospital context. The results observed were: conception of R / E for the patient and his family and the impacts of the illness on their beliefs; perception of the threshold between the respect and the user embracement of the professional related to the patient's R / E; perception of health professionals about the R / E in the team; reflexes of the hospital experience for the psychologist's R / E. There are dilemmas and anxieties faced by health professionals regarding the proper posture in approaching patients in relation to R / E, which may result in a superficial user embracement that has not encompassed the demands of subjects in hospital care, nor the assumptions of the World Health Organization. Health about care in this field.
