A descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach was conducted with the aim to understand the meaning of religious symbols for parents of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and how they help them during the child’s hospital stay. Field research was carried out in a hospital in the Midwest of Paraná, from August to October 2013, through semi-structured interviews with ten mothers. Data were analyzed through content analysis, according to Bardin, resulting in two thematic categories. Religiosity is found to be among the various aspects that permeate the scenario of neonatal intensive care and deserve to be recognized and considered by the multidisciplinary team, especially the nursing team. It is a family need to cope with the health problem, demanding spiritual assistance for comprehensive and quality care.
