The objective was to identify the use of integrative, spiritual practices and to evaluate the quality of life related to the health of adult cancer patients during the chemotherapy treatment. Quantitative and cross-sectional research conducted with 275 patients during chemotherapy at a hospital in Minas Gerais. Instruments used: Sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30 (QLQ-C30) with data analysis by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (for Windows). Most of the interviewees were women, between 40 and 79 years old, married, retired, with low education level and low income. The most prevalent cancers were colorectal, breast and stomach. Only 13 (4.9%) patients used some integrative practice such as phytotherapy, homeopathy, meditation, floral and acupuncture. About 94 (34.2%) individuals performed spiritual therapy with predominance of prayer, passes, fluidized water and promise. There was an adequate/satisfactory level (scores between 50 and 70) of quality of life and functions evaluated.
