Abstract

Objective: Identify, through an integrative literature review, the impact of religion on patients with mental disorders.

Method: The scientific electronic bases were used: LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and SCIELO. The research took place between March and October 2019, with the inclusion criteria: articles published in Portuguese, in full and between the period 2007 to 2019, available in the consulted databases and related to the proposal. Exclusion criteria were: editorials, literature reviews, abstracts, theses and dissertations.

Results: We found 3015 articles related to the theme and selected 10 that reflected relevant aspects of religion in the patients' lives.

Conclusion: A religião tem um impacto na vida não apenas das pessoas com transtornos mentais, mas também dos membros da família e de pessoas em sua rede de apoio e convivência de várias maneiras, refletindo positivamente na auto-estima, qualidade de vida e acolhimento. A religião também pode impactar negativamente e se manifestar, de acordo com a literatura, através do fanatismo, da ansiedade e do fato de os profissionais de saúde não abordarem adequadamente a questão com seus pacientes.
