The inclusion of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) as a dimension of health care still raises reflections, especially when we analyze professional practices. Thus, this integrative literature review aimed to analyze how pediatric oncology professionals experience R/S in their practices. Through the bases/libraries CINAHL, PsycINFO, Pubmed, SciELO and Lilacs, 12 studies produced between the years of 2009 and 2019 were retrieved, nine qualitative and three quantitative. The results were presented in two thematic categories: 1) R/S as an element that permeates situations experienced at work; 2) R/S as a dimension present in the lives of patients and family members. It became evident that, although pediatric oncology professionals consider R/S as an important dimension in care, it is still understood as a resource used mainly by patients and family members, with predominance, among professionals, as something that is more linked to a protocol than an effective resource for working in the area.
