| Summary: | This study consists of an integrative review of the scientific literature that aimed to know the religious and spiritual practices used by children and adolescents to cope with cancer. From searches in the databases/libraries CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO and Lilacs (2009-2019), the final sample consisted of 20 articles. Prayers were the most widely used practices, followed by sacred books and objects, going to sacred places and the use of music. Improvements in well-being, physical and emotional health have been reported. It is concluded that such practices should be recognized as important resources in coping with cancer illness in this population. |
