Abstract

Objective: To identify and review the trend of scientific evidence on the approach of religiosity and spirituality in Primary Health Care. Methods: Review of integrative literature. The survey was conducted in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases. The descriptors used were: "Religiosity" OR "Spirituality" AND "Primary Health Care". Inclusion criteria: articles that contemplated the theme, published in Portuguese, English and Spanish from 2015 to 2020, were excluded articles that did not answer the guiding question, articles that had as methodology the revision of non-systematic literature, theses, dissertations and duplicate publications. Results: The main characteristic of the studies was: quantitative cross-sectional study, and with non-linear increase, along the time section. It seems that religious aspects are important for elderly individuals, with chronic conditions and against habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. In relation to the mental health, an ambivalence was noticed. Final Considerations: The approach about religiosity and spirituality must be approached in Primary Health Care, being this desire primarily a necessity of the patients.
