Enquadramento: o comportamento do Homem diante da morte, da sua e dos que o rodeiam, mostra-se o resultado de um longo processo evolutivo. Contrariando a conceĆ§Ć£o cientĆfica e biolĆ³gica da morte, surge a religiĆ£o como promessa de um novo comeƧo. Objetivo: estudar o impacto da religiĆ£o catĆ³lica sobre o processo de luto. MĆ©todo: Estudo qualitativo, de corte transversal, com base no mĆ©todo fenomenolĆ³gico descritivo. A amostra Ć© constituĆda por 8 participantes: 4 indivĆduos catĆ³licos praticantes e 4 indivĆduos sem crenƧa religiosas, 3 homens e 5 mulheres com idades compreendidas entre os 28 e os 62 anos, todos em processo de luto. Resultados: Todos os participantes relatam a experiĆŖncia do luto como dolorosa, independentemente de prĆ”ticas e crenƧas religiosas. No entanto, os participantes com crenƧas religiosas mostram maior aceitaĆ§Ć£o da morte, relacionada com a esperanƧa de um novo encontro e vida eterna. ConclusĆ£o: Os resultados deste estudo foram congruentes com a literatura, na medida em que se comprova que a religiĆ£o modera o impacto da morte e, consequentemente, do luto, na medida em que oferece a esperanƧa de um novo comeƧo e reencontro.
Background: Man's behavior in the face of death, his own and those around him, is the result of a long evolutionary process. Contrary to the scientific and biological conception of death, religion arises as a promise of a new beginning. Objective: To study the impact of the Catholic religion on the grieving process. Method: Qualitative, cross-sectional study based on the descriptive phenomenological method. The sample consisted of 8 participants: 4 practicing Catholic individuals and 4 atheist individuals, 3 men and 5 women aged 28 to 62 years. Results: All participants report the experience of grief as painful, regardless of religious practices and beliefs. However, participants with religious beliefs show greater acceptance of death, related to the hope of a new meeting. Conclusion: The results of this study were consistent with the literature, as it proves that religion moderates the impact of death and, consequently, mourning, as it offers the hope of a new beginning and reunion.
