Abstract

Death has always been a mystery to mankind. In an attempt to understand it and find answers about the phenomenon, the man since ancient times seeking support in religion and explanations about their finitude and especially about the possibility of continuing after his death. Analyze the relationship between religiosity and acceptance of death is extremely important to provide better nursing care for the terminal patient. We conducted semistructured interviews with nurses, individually, so they could express their perceptions about the acceptance of death and religiosity. For the content analysis we rely on Minayo, demonstratedthat there is greater acceptance of the imminence of death and suffering in patients considered religious and facing the possibility of finitude patients cling more to religion.
