Abstract

The term integrality has a polissemic character which has sought to overcome the care fragmentation and includes health from the interaction of physical, mental, social and spiritual factors. The present study aimed to identify and analyze the approach of the terms "spirituality", "religiosity" and "religion" in brazilian health public policy from the perspective of the integrality. It was a documentary study that investigated the presence of public policy in the Virtual Health Library (VHL). From 67 Policies issued, 65 were available for study and were analyzed in two stages. Results revealed a subtle and superficial treatment of the issue investigated in documents. The practice of health professionals here are based on ideas proposed by public health policies in this way, it is believed that these guidance documents aimed at a more subjective dimension of individuals, considering the "spirituality", "religion" and "religiosity" should be strengthened, in order to produce a comprehensive care. Descriptors: Health policy; Spirituality; Religion.
