    Background: Healthcare Students have high levels of stress during their formation and consequent emotional stiffness, distancing themselves from the patients, families and themselves. Studies on meditative practices or structured learning of selfperception and relaxation techniques, performed during the training of the health professional, have shown positive results under several emotional aspects. In this way, the objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of an elective discipline on "Practices of care for the promotion of integral health: basis in spirituality and neuroscience" for nursing, phonoaudiology and medical students of the Federal University of São Paulo, regarding the handling of emotions. This is a case study with 38 undergraduate students from UNIFESP, divided into two groups: experimental, with 24 students who attended the discipline and control, with 14 students who did not attend. The groups were evaluated in two moments: preintervention and postintervention. The discipline included meditative practices of focused attention, body scanning, attention to breathing, open heart and gentleness, training mindfulness through perceptions of physical sensations, emotions, feelings, and thoughts. The theoretical and practical contents were contextualized with the cultivation of spirituality and the relationship with neuroscience. Elective discipline lasted nine weeks, totaling 36 hours. The techniques of data collection used were group interviews, psychometric scales and participant observation. The following Scales were applied: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule X (PANASX) and WellBeing IndexWHO5. Group interviews were conducted at the beginning and end of elective discipline. Participant observations were recorded during the course. The qualitative data were analyzed through the methodology of Content Thematic Categorical Analysis and the quantitative data through descriptive and comparative statistical analysis. As a main result, there were significant changes between preand postintervention in the positive and negative affect scale scores (PANASX). The other variables did not show a significant difference (p> 0.05). The qualitative results revealed five categories of analysis: 1. I am responsible for all, almost like a superhero; 2. Search for selfknowledge and selfcontrol; 3. Difficulty of living the present moment and anxiety to control the future; 4. The meditative practice of mindfulness for selfperception and handling of emotions; 5. The experience marked by kindness and gentleness, for spirituality. Conclusion: the discipline promoted integral health with reduction of negative affections, with abilities for the handling of emotions and the cultivation of spirituality.
