Introduction: The new concepts of classical physics, the growing religious movement and bioethical discussions led to a significant increase in publications about spirituality, including its health implications. At full attention to the child and family, spirituality and religiosity should be present in the work of the medical act, place of endless possibilities, as an instrument of communication, respect and bioethics as a force that can positively influence the disease process. Objectives: To compare the religiosity/spirituality of pediatricians and pediatric residents, and how this influences their clinical practice to identify the perception of the spiritual needs of the children served and their families, and to know how religiosity/spirituality of children and family influence in the treatment and coping of diseases. Methods: Was performed a quantitative research through a questionnaire about general data characterization; questions about the extent of religiosity/spirituality, knowledge of the subject and its inclusion in health for clinical professionals. Results: Participants were 37 professional, 25 pediatricians in a public hospital in Sorocaba-SP and 12 pediatric residents from the College of Medical and Health Sciences at PUC/SP. After processing the data, we found that there were no differences between the two groups regarding their religiousness and spirituality, are professionals with high intrinsic religiosity, spirituality and religiosity value in their lives, influencing even their daily clinical practice. While recognizing the necessity of spiritual children and families and the positive influence of religiosity and spirituality in coping and treatment of diseases, few approach this dimension. Pointed as the main reasons the lack of knowledge, training and lack of time. Professionals also show open and willing to include this issue in their work
