Summary

Living with breast cancer and forms of treatment, among them radiation therapy can cause both side effects such as pain, fatigue and skin changes that affect the well-being, as anxiety, feelings of isolation and changes in routine, which generate existential conflicts and allow the origin of the spiritual anguish phenomenon, which in turn, aggravates the physical and emotional symptoms and the ability to fight the disease. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of intercessory prayer on levels of spiritual distress, religious / spiritual coping, psychological morbidity (anxiety and depression) and amylase levels salivary present in patients with breast cancer radiotherapy.
