Todos responderam ao Índice de Religiosidade Duke, Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão e Escala de Espiritualidade. Foram encontrados sintomas ansiosos, depressivos e prática de atividade religiosa em boa parte da amostra. Esses resultados podem contribuir para aprimorar e guiar profissionais sobre a importância do impacto da espiritualidade sobre a saúde dos pacientes.
