Abstract
Objective: To reflect, from a narrative of the scientific literature, on the interventions of nursing professionals for spiritual assistance. Literature review: Based on the current Classification of Nursing Interventions, which mentions 56 actions related to religious-spiritual care, as well as the dialogue between these recommendations and the consolidated studies in the area of religiosity / spirituality and health. It is noteworthy that the assistance of a religious-spiritual nature offered by the nurse must respect ethical dilemmas, religious beliefs and health care, as well as the patient's or family's own option of not including these elements in care. The professional, therefore, must be connected with these needs, opening up to listening to the patient and his family in relation to this dimension. Final considerations: When appropriating the theme of religiosity and spirituality, the nurse knows subsidies and theoretical contributions to guide the application of spiritual interventions in the decision-making process for conducting care.
