Description
Summary:to understand how religiosity can influence the health of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders, based on comprehensive care. this is an integrative literature review, with the inclusion of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between 2010 and 2018. the critical analysis and qualitative synthesis of the 24 selected studies were categorized into two subtopics: The influence of religiosity in promoting comprehensive mental health care; Mental health versus religiosity: influencing conditions for effective access to comprehensive care. a positive influence of religiosity was identified in the lives of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders; however, evidence shows that health teams do not feel comfortable and prepared to work with religiosity as an expression of spirituality. This being one of the dimensional aspects of health, it can be inferred, on the results, the existence of this gap in the comprehensive care approach.
