This qualitative research investigates nurses' concepts of religion, religiosity, and spirituality, and how they employ these concepts in practice. Thirty-four nurses were interviewed at a hospital in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Content analysis was used to systematise the results. Three main themes generated from the interviews: 1. Religiosity/Spirituality as an Important Dimension in Life; 2. Notions of Religiosity and Spirituality; 3. Formal Knowledge of the Concept of Religion, Religiosity, and Spirituality. The results indicate that religion, religiosity, and spirituality should be incorporated into nurse training; in order to improve the comprehension and competence of nurses in these areas of practice. It is recommended that in order to ensure holistic and person centred care that there is constant reflection upon these concepts.

The objective of this study was to learn the professional reality of psychotherapists regarding their clinical experiences and the R/S dimension. Twenty-four professionals from two cities in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil, with an average psychotherapy experience of 10.54 years, were interviewed individually. The interviews were transcribed in full and analyzed from the R/S literature. Such a dimension is evoked as relevant for all psychotherapists, although it has not been suffi ciently addressed in their training. The exploration of R/S stems from client demands and presents at times as an important resource for intervention, while in other times hinders the development of many conditions. The recent proposals of the Psychology Councils regarding R/S are unknown by the professionals, suggesting the need for greater dialog and also the presence of such discussions in Psychology training.
