Resumo
Our objectives were to identify the meanings of religiosity for the health professionals; to
reveal health professionals’ perception about the relation between religiosity and the old people’s health;
and to characterize health professionals’ attitudes relative to religiosity while performing the attendance to
the elderly. We have accomplished an exploratory research with the students of a Specialization in
Gerontology Course, in Goiânia (GO), in 2001. The sample consisted of forty-two professionals, who
answered a questionnaire. For the analysis of the answers, we have used the model proposed by Bogam
and Biklen (1994).We have identified four categories of analysis: defining religiosity; the relation between
religiosity and the old person’s health; the applicability of religiosity in the assistance of the elderly - from
possibility to practice, and perceived difficulties in applying religiosity in the assistance of the old people’s
health. We have concluded that religiosity is present in the personal and private life of the professionals
and is accepted as an important health factor. Its applicability in the old person’s health assistance,
however, is surrounded by fears and conflicts.
