RESUMO -O estudo investigou o enfrentamento religioso em 10 pacientes oncológicos de uma instituição especializada, com idades entre 25 e 55 anos. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de entrevistas. Os resultados foram analisados considerando o conteúdo do relato verbal das participantes, assim descritos: (1) categorias de conteúdo do relato verbal (suporte emocional, cura, busca de significado, contribuições no tratamento e controle); e (2) características de religiosidade/espiritualidade. Todas as participantes apresentaram relatos verbais com conteúdos de religiosidade/espiritualidade, o que evidencia que a relação entre a doença e a possibilidade de morte fazem do enfrentamento religioso uma estratégia de redução do estresse e melhoria da qualidade de vida das participantes.Palavras-chave: câncer; religiosidade/espiritualidade; qualidade de vida. Religiousness/Spirituality in Oncological Patientes:Life Quality and Health ABSTRACT -The study investigated the religious coping in 10 cancer patients of a specialized institution, aged between 25 and 55 years old. The data were collected through interviews. The results were analyzed considering the content of the patients' verbal report, described as: (1) categories of verbal report's content (emotional support, healing, searching of meaning, contributions for treatment, and control); and (2) characteristics of religiousness/spirituality. All participants presented verbal reports with contents of religiousness/spirituality, which suggests that due to the relation between the disease and the possibility of death, religious coping became a strategy of stress reduction and quality of life improvement for those patients.
