Abstract

Introduction: religiosity is observed in everyday life and should be considered when providing care, because each religion expresses different ideologies. The study aimed to describe the social representations of Catholic patients and analyze the implications of their imaginary for the health-disease process. Method: descriptive study, with qualitative approach. Carried out in an oncology hospital, having as participants self-declared Catholic people. Semi-structured interviews and a technique of free word association were used for data collection. Results: three thematic units emerged: The representation of the disease for Catholic christians; The Catholic religion as a foundation in the process of illness; Representation of the disease for Catholics: diseases acquired by breaking the laws of God. Final considerations: religiosity is a significant part of people's daily lives and should be respected regardless of the professional's belief.
