The research field between spirituality and disease is increasingly evident, however, the
relationship between spirituality/religiosity coping in post-stroke individuals has not been found in
the literature. To correlate spiritual/religious coping and functional capacity in hemiparetics
submitted to Group Physiotherapy in Circuit Format (GPCF). Cross-sectional study with 8 chronic
hemiparetic patients in GPCF. At first, the initial evaluation was applied and after 8-weeks
intervention, following CRE-brief and Timed Up and Go (TUG). There was no correlation between
the CRE-brief questionnaire with TUG (r=-0.618 and p=0.102), but the effect size showed a large
clinical effect (0.94). The GPCF did not promote improvement in functional capacity at the end of
8-weeks intervention and no significant correlation between CRE-brief and TUG. However, it was
demonstrated positive effect in fighting of the disease and a great clinical effect among the
applied evaluations.
