Resumo: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has brought great challenges to health care professionals. Spirituality and meaning of life are themes discussed by several authors as important to face adverse life situations. This study aimed to analyze how meaning of life and spirituality offer support to health professionals, and their practices, during the pandemic. A study of mixed nature was conducted, combining quantitative and qualitative research. Quantitative data were obtained through the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Meaning of Life Questionnaire (QSV). Sixty-two participants were included in the study by the inclusion criteria. Qualitative data were obtained through a semi-structured interview with 05 participants. The information was collected online. The quantitative data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data analysis was done by Minayo's thematic content analysis. The results indicated that health professionals demonstrate spirituality and the meaning of life as coping strategies to deal with the stressful situations of the pandemic. The quantitative data pointed to a prevalence of the presence of the meaning of life in detriment of the search for meaning, which was manifested through the speeches of the participants, who stated that having clarity about the meaning of life helped them to face a delicate moment such as the pandemic of COVID-19. It is understood, therefore, the importance and relevance that these themes present in the current scenario.

La espiritualidad y el sentido de la vida son temas tratados por varios autores como importantes para afrontar situaciones vitales adversas. Este estudio pretendía analizar cómo el sentido de la vida y la espiritualidad ofrecen apoyo a los profesionales sanitarios, y a sus prácticas, durante la pandemia. Se realizó un estudio de naturaleza mixta, que combinaba investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa. Los datos cuantitativos se obtuvieron mediante el Cuestionario Sociodemográfico y el Cuestionario de Sentido de la Vida (QSV). Sesenta y dos participantes fueron incluidos en el estudio según los criterios de inclusión. Los datos cualitativos se obtuvieron mediante una entrevista semiestructurada con 05 participantes. La información se recogió en línea. El análisis de los datos cuantitativos se realizó mediante estadística descriptiva, mientras que el de los datos cualitativos se llevó a cabo mediante el análisis de contenido temático de Minayo. Los resultados indicaron que los profesionales sanitarios muestran la espiritualidad y el sentido de la vida como estrategias de afrontamiento para hacer frente a las situaciones estresantes de la pandemia. Los datos cuantitativos apuntaron a una prevalencia de la presencia del sentido de la vida en detrimento de la búsqueda de sentido, lo que se manifestó a través de las palabras de los participantes, que afirmaron que tener claridad del sentido de la vida los ayudó a enfrentar un momento delicado como la pandemia de COVID-19. Se comprende, por tanto, la importancia y relevancia que estos temas presentan en el escenario actual.A doença do coronavírus (COVID-19) trouxe grandes desafios para os profissionais de saúde.
