| It was hoped to find in this study a positive difference in favor of the experimental group that underwent a behavioral spiritual intervention in favor of hypertension control. The index of religiosity was evaluated through the DUKE-DUREL Questionnaire, which has 5 questions, evaluating Organizational Religiosity (RO), Non-Organizational Religiosity (RNO) and Intrinsic Religiosity (IR). In addition, the MINICHAL-Brazil questionnaire was used to measure the health-related quality of life (QoL) specifically for hypertensive patients, as well as the FANTASTICO lifestyle questionnaire. Religiosity was an important variable because it aimed to know if it had a positive effect on the lifestyle and QoL of these patients.;To compare the groups before and after the intervention, the Mann Whitney test was used because the sample was small. In order to establish an association between lifestyle and religiosity, the Spearman Correlation test was used. After the workshops, the experimental group presented a better result in the diastolic pressure (p <0.05) and there was an association between age and non-organizational religiosity (rho = 0.374, p = 0.038). There was also a statistically significant positive association between religiosity and EV (p <0.05), that is, the greater the religious involvement, the better the lifestyle and, consequently, the better control of arterial hypertension. | — |
