The objective of this study was to know the relationship between spirituality and religiosity with the abuse of alcohol and other drugs, through the analysis of publications in scientific journals. An integrative literature review was performed according to publications found in the electronic databases PePSIC, Index Psi, BDENF and LILACS. The following descriptors were used: “Spirituality”; “Religiosity”; "Drug users"; “Alcohol abuse”; “Protection Factors”. For the selection of publications, the following inclusion criteria were applied: belong to the time range from 2007 to 2017; be available in full, electronically and for free; to be in Portuguese; be identified the thematic focus of analysis in the title and/or abstract and/or in the full reading of the article. The only exclusion criterion adopted was the repetition between the databases. Thirteen articles were selected. As a result, there were protective effects of spirituality and religiosity in most studies, such as: preventive aspect among adolescents; promotion of healthy habits among pregnant women; promotion of healthy habits via religious communities; prevention of relapse during the detoxification process of licit and illicit drug abuse. However, there was neutrality in the mediation of these beliefs and practices in groups of university students and hapatopaths. These data favor the strengthening of the scientific discussion of spirituality and religiosity, both in its positive, negative and neutral aspects, in the daily life and uniqueness of users, within the logic of comprehensiveness and humanization in health promotion.Downloads
