Spirituality, congenital abnormalities, caregivers, child.Abstract
Objective: to investigate the scientific production about spirituality and religiosity in the context of congenital malformation. Method: this integrative literature review, conducted in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO databases, included papers published from 2007 to 2017. Results: textual analysis of the 28 publications examined enabled two categories to be constructed: Spiritual and religious practices, and families’ coping with the diagnosis and birth; and Spirituality, religiosity, and care for the malformed child. Conclusion: the studies, although having different meanings, have shown that spirituality in health is often associated with religiosity. This human dimension proved to be important in coping with the diagnosis of congenital malformation, and served as a source of support in dealing with the care for those affected.

Resultados: foram examinadas 28 publicações, cujas análises textuais permitiram a construção de duas categorias: práticas espirituais e religiosas e o enfrentamento do diagnóstico e nascimento pelos familiares; espiritualidade, religiosidade e cuidado com a criança malformada. Conclusão: mesmo possuindo significados diferentes, os estudos revelaram que a espiritualidade em saúde é, com frequência, associada à religiosidade.
