Résumé
La spiritualité peut avoir plusieurs impacts positifs sur la santé mentale et physique des individus (Koenig, 2008), être un élément central dans le processus de rétablissement (Holloway et Moss, 2010; Lietz et Hodge, 2013) et constituer un important mécanisme d’adaptation face aux difficultés vécues (Canda et al., 2019). À cet égard, l’Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec (OTSTCFQ) reconnait l’importance de la prendre en compte. Prenant appui sur une étude réalisée dans le cadre d’un mémoire auprès de 40 travailleurs sociaux et travailleuses sociales (TS) oeuvrant au Saguenay–Lac-St-Jean, cet article a pour but d’identifier les facteurs qui influencent l’intégration de la spiritualité dans la pratique. Les résultats présentés proposent de réfléchir à la place de la spiritualité en intervention sociale ainsi qu’au rôle de cette dimension constitutive de la santé globale dans une perspective d’amélioration continue de la qualité des interventions en contexte professionnel et dans les milieux de formation académique.

Abstract
Spirituality can have several positive impacts on the mental and physical health of individuals (Koenig, 2008), become a key element in the recovery process (Holloway and Moss, 2010) and constitute an important mechanism for coping with difficulties (Canda et al., 2019). Thereupon, the Québec Order of Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists (hereafter OTSTCFQ) recognizes the importance of taking it into account. Based on a study conducted with 40 social workers (SW) working in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, this article aims to identify the factors that influence the integration of spirituality into practice. The results aim to reflect on the place of spirituality in social work interventions as well as the role of this constitutive dimension of health, in a perspective of continuous improvement of the quality of interventions in professional contexts and in academic training environments.
