Sumario:Objective: To present a group experience report about the perceptions of nursing students about religiosity, spirituality and experiences of these dimensions in the personal lives.Materials and Methods: Reflective group conducted with 30 nursing students from a public university participating in a student league in the field of oncology. Group contents and interactions were recorded in a field diary and organized into thematic groups for further discussion.Results: Although the definitions of religiosity and spirituality are overlap, religiosity emerged as a notion more linked to beliefs, dogmas and an institutionalized religion, whereas spirituality was meant as a dimension linked to the existence of the human being and the transcendental. These students positioned themselves as spiritual, but not necessarily religious, suggesting the possibility that spirituality being broader, may even include the refusal of these students to join a religion at this stage of formation and development.Conclusion: The reflective group proved to be powerful as a formative space in relation to religiosity and spirituality, allowing greater proximity between students and triggering personal engagement in relation to the thematic, which can be an important component in future professional practices focused on the comprehensive health care and humanization.
