“…For example, adolescent psychiatric patients who report loss of faith suffer deeper depression and recover from it more slowly (DEW et al, 2010). In the geriatric clinical population, NRC predicts greater depression independently of patients' number of depressed episodes or amount of social support (BOSWORTH et al, 2003) and greater mortality risk over two years independently of several demographic, physical, and mental health factors (PARGAMENT et al, 2001).…”

Religious and Spiritual Struggles as Concerns for Health and Well-Being

People struggle with religion and spirituality in several ways, including challenges in trusting God, confronting supernatural evil, tolerating other perspectives on religion, maintaining moral propriety, finding existential meaning, and managing religious doubt. These religious and spiritual (R/S) struggles relate to both physical and mental health independently of other religious and distress factors. Causality in this connection needs further study, but evidence supports many potential causes and moderators of the link between R/S struggle and health. These include personality, social, and environmental influences, including traumatic experiences and subcultural differences. Many theoretical questions remain unresolved, including how change in R/S struggle can predict or be predicted by change in health and other connected constructs, and how one might intervene to aid those who struggle with religious or spiritual challenges. Nonetheless, research momentum has grown, having already produced a wealth of information that underscores the need for greater attention to this domain. R/S struggle poses an important exception to generally positive overall associations between religion and well-being, though even R/S struggle may promote growth. This review offers a brief introduction to emerging psychological theory and research on R/S struggle with an emphasis on its relevance to wellness and illness.Keywords: religion; spirituality; struggle; stress; well-being; health ResumoAs pessoas experimentam conflitos com a religião e a espiritualidade de vários modos, incluindo os desafios em confiar em Deus, o confronto com o mal sobrenatural, a tolerância em relação a outras perspectivas sobre a religião, a manutenção do decoro moral, a busca de um sentido existencial e o gerenciamento da dúvida religiosa. Esses conflitos religiosos e espirituais (R/S) dizem respeito tanto à saúde física quanto a mental, independentemente de outros fatores religiosos e de sofrimento. A relação de causa e efeito, neste contexto, necessita de mais estudos, mas há evidências que apoiam a existência de muitas causas potenciais e moderadoras da relação entre conflitos Religiosos/Espirituais (R/S) e saúde. Estas incluem personalidade, influências sociais e ambientais, incluindo as experiências traumáticas e diferenças culturais. Várias questões teóricas permanecem pendentes, incluindo como a mudança nos conflitos religiosos e espirituais (R/S) poderia prever ou ser prognóstico de mudança na saúde e outras questões afins, e como se pode intervir para ajudar aqueles que enfrentam conflitos religiosos ou espirituais. No entanto, embora o montante da pesquisa tenha crescido, tendo produzindo inclusive uma riqueza de informações, ressalta-se a necessidade de uma maior atenção nesse campo Os conflitos religiosos/espirituais (R/S) colocam uma importante questão para a associação geralmente positiva entre religião e bem estar, ainda que os conflitos religiosos/espirituais (R/S) possam promover crescimento. Esse estudo oferece uma breve introdu...

“…Para determinação da validade convergente-discriminante, os coeficientes de correlação Spearman entre os escores da P-DUREL foram determinados, esperando-se a priori observar relativas sobreposições (convergência) entre os escores das dimensões da P-DUREL (correlações significativas), na ausência de redundância significativa (correlações fracas a moderadas) 21 . Com base em dados preliminares de que a religiosidade, com grande frequência, se relaciona com medidas de espiritualidade 23 e inversamente com sintomas depressivos [33][34][35][36][37][38] e ansiosos 1,39,40 , resolveu-se determinar os coeficientes de correlação de Spearman entre os escores das dimensões da P-DUREL e tais variáveis (tratadas como variáveis contínuas). O nível de significância foi de P < 0,05 (bicaudal; hipótese nula: r = 0 e hipótese alternativa: r ≠ 0).…”

Resumo Contexto: Há escassez de instrumentos validados para o estudo da religiosidade em amostras brasileiras. Um recente estudo realizado em uma amostra comunitária sugeriu adequada validade para a versão em português brasileiro do índice de Religiosidade de Duke (P-DUREL). Entretanto, as propriedades psicométricas do P-DUREL não foram estudadas em amostras psiquiátricas e/ou de estudantes universitários. Objetivo: Determinar a consistência interna, a confiabilidade teste-reteste e a validade convergente-discriminante do P-DUREL em duas amostras distintas. Métodos: Amostra 1: estudantes universitários (n = 323). Amostra 2: pacientes psiquiátricos (n = 102). Foram aplicados o P-DUREL e o Instrumento de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial da Saú-de -Módulo Espiritualidade, Religiosidade e Crenças Pessoais (WHOQOL-SRPB) em ambas as amostras; os sintomas psicológicos foram medidos por meio do Inventário Beck de Depressão (IDB) e do Inventário Beck de Ansiedade (IAB) na amostra 1 e da Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS) na amostra 2. Resultados: O P-DUREL teve adequada consistência interna (α de Cronbach > 0,80) e confiabilidade teste-reteste (Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse > 0,90) em ambas as amostras. Correlações moderadas entre as subescalas da P-DUREL (0,58 < r < 0,71) foram observadas. Além disso, correlações significantes entre os escores do P-DUREL com o escore geral do WHOQOL-SRPB, bem como com medidas de sintomas psicológicos, foram observadas em ambas as amostras. Conclusão: O presente estudo abre perspectivas para o uso do P-DUREL para a investigação das dimensões da religiosidade em amostras brasileiras com características sociodemográficas diversas.

AbstractBackground: There is a shortage of validated instruments for the study of religiousness in Brazilian samples. A recent study in a community sample pointed to an adequate validity for the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Duke Religiosity Index (P-DUREL). Nevertheless, no study to date has investigated the psychometric properties of the P-DUREL in psychiatric and/or university student samples. Objective: To determine the internal consistency, the test-retest reliability and the convergent-discriminant validity of the P-DUREL in two distinct samples. Methods: Sample 1: university students (n = 323). Sample 2: psychiatric patients (n = 102). The P-DUREL and the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Instrument--Spirituality, Religion and Personal Beliefs module (WHOQOL-SRPB); psychological distress symptoms were measured by means the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in sample 1, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in sample 2. Results: The P-DUREL had adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.80) and test-retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient > 0.90) in both samples. Moderate ...

“…The vast majority examined a representative population-based sample focusing on the prevalence of depression. With regard to the relationship between R/S and depression, five studies reported mixed results [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], whereas the other 13 papers found a positive relationship between R/S and depression (i.e., less depression among those who were more R/S). All 18 studies reported at least one positive finding, none found no association or only a negative association.…”

“…Research of the relationship between R/S and depression is the most developed. Eleven of the 19 studies examined a geriatric sample [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], four papers focused on adolescents [45][46][47][48], and four studies examined adults [49][50][51][52]. Four focused on depression in the medically ill [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], two on religious coping [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], two had only female participants [34][35][36]…”

Objective: The impact of religious/spiritual activities on clinical outcomes in patients with serious mental illnesses remains controversial, which was addressed in this international cross-sectional study. Method:The literature was searched using the electronic database of Pubmed. To identify the highest quality papers, we selected publications in psychiatric journals ranked in the top 25% by the ISI citation index 2010, i.e. the top 32 journals out of 126 listed, all with an impact factor of 3.6 or higher. The published original studies were then discussed and rated for the quality of their design, measures, and statistical methods. Results:1% if the studies find a positive relationship between R/S and better mental health, 18.6% find mixed (positive and negative) results, and 4.7% reported a negative association. All studies on dementia, suicide and stressrelated disorders found a positive association, as well as 79% and 67% of the papers on depression and substance abuse, respectively Conclusion: There is growing evidence today that R/S is correlated with better mental health in the areas of depression, substance abuse, and suicide; insufficient evidence in neurosis and dementia; poor evidence in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and no evidence in many other mental disorders.
