Abstract

Identify and analyze information about spirituality and its role as a protective factor in the elderly. We consulted the databases of MEDLINE and LILACS, we found more than 2,100 results in the search where we selected 5 articles that met the selection criteria. A distinction was made between the concepts of religion, religiosity and spirituality for their individual analysis; the relationship between the spiritual factor and the older adult shows a favorable perception for subjective well-being, could be used as a tool in a psychological process. Spirituality can be used as a psychosocial resource of great weight in the care of the elderly, since it is related to a low presence of depressive symptoms and anxiety.
