This is a qualitative, cross-sectional, exploratory, case study research. The research was carried out in the academic unit of the Minas Gerais State University, Ibirité. Participants were 108 students (29.8 ± 10.4 years old), 61.1% female and 38.9% male. Regarding marital status, 71.3% were single, 38.9% were married, and 5.6% were divorced. A semi-structured questionnaire prepared by the authors and the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire, validated for Portuguese, were used. As main results we obtained an average of 4.4 of agreement that leisurecan contributeto the development ofspiritual well-being; in relation to theresults of the Spiritual WellBeing Questionnaire, the general average was 3.8.
