-revista debates em psiquiatria Resumo Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da espiritualidade e/ ou religiosidade no uso de substâncias psicoativas na população adolescente, tanto na proteção primária quanto na secundária. O uso, abuso ou dependência de substâncias abrange intervenções em diversas áreas: biológica, psíquica, social e espiritual.Método: Foi realizada busca de artigos publicados em bases de dados científicas entre 2000 e 2015, com as seguintes palavras-chave: adolescente, droga, abuso de substância, espiritualidade, proteção, religioso, religiosidade. Foram encontrados, no total, 115 artigos nas três bases de dados (PubMed, BIREME, SciELO), e levando-se em consideração os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados oito artigos.Resultados: Os estudos apontam na mesma direção, de que tanto espiritualidade quanto religiosidade são de grande importância para os adolescentes em relação ao uso, ao abuso e à dependência de substâncias psicoativas. Além desses fatores de proteção citados, também foram observados outros: família, amigos, grupo social, ambiente, resiliência, informação e perspectiva de futuro.Conclusão Abstract Objective:To analyze the impact of spirituality and/or religiousness on the use of psychoactive substances in the adolescent population in both primary and secondary protection. Substance use, abuse or dependence cover interventions in a variety of areas: biological, psychic, social, and spiritual.Methods: Articles published in scientific databases between 2000 and 2015 were searched using the following keywords: adolescent, drug, substance abuse, spirituality, religious protection, religiousness. A total of 115 articles were retrieved from three databases (PubMed, BIREME, SciELO), and eight were selected taking into consideration the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: The studies point in the same direction, in that both spirituality and religiousness are of great importance for adolescents in relation to psychoactive substance use, abuse, and dependence. In addition to the protective factors mentioned above, others were also observed: family, friends, social group, environment, resilience, information, and future perspectives.Conclusion: Spirituality signals a broad connection between the individual and their environment, aiming at the well-being and personal growth of both the person and their peers. The control of religion and/or the experience of spirituality act directly protecting the youth against involvement with substance use, as a result of its relation with self-regulation, psychological and social factors, availability of information on substance dependence and its consequences, and good family structure. In this scenario, the need to develop public policies with this approach is highlighted.
