Abstract

Organ transplantation constitutes one of the greatest advances in contemporary medicine, offering increased survival and significant improvement in the quality of life of patients affected by chronic and terminal diseases. However, the post-transplant recovery process goes beyond strictly biological limits, involving psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. In this context, religion and faith emerge as relevant factors in coping with illness, adherence to treatment, and the reconstruction of life’s meaning after the surgical procedure. This article aims to analyze, in depth, the relationship between religion, faith, and the recovery of transplant patients, highlighting how spirituality can positively influence both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the rehabilitation process. Based on an interdisciplinary approach that brings together theology, psychology of religion, and the health sciences, the study seeks to understand faith as an integrative element in comprehensive patient care.
