Introduction: Spirituality/religiosity is considered an essential dimension in good practices in palliative care, especially during the terminal phase. Patients, as well as their families, make use of spiritual/religious coping strategies. Objective: The purpose of this review was to highlight the relationship between spiritual/religious coping and terminality. Method: The method applied was a systematic review that used PUBMED, LILACS, BVS, PSYCINFO and SCIELO as databases. Results: In total, 96 articles were captured and seven were selected for analysis. These articles addressed issues about attachment, types of coping, meaning of the illness and difficulties in measuring spirituality/religiosity. Conclusion: Studies indicate that spiritual/religious coping influences the quality of death during the dying process.
