“…23 This scale was originally developed by Pargament et al, 23 and has been validated in a Brazilian population. 24 The SRCOPE-14 assesses two dimensions of religious coping: positive SRC (PSRC; items 1-7) and negative SRC (NSRC; items [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. PSRC has items related to spirituality/religiosity as a source of love, care, strength, help, purification and positive reframing of the stressor.…”

Background Although mental distress and quality of life (QoL) impairments because of the pandemic have increased worldwide, the way that each community has been affected has varied. Aims This study evaluated the impact of social distancing imposed by coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on Brazilians’ mental health and QoL. Method In this cross-sectional community-based online survey, data from 1156 community-dwelling adults were gathered between 11 May and 3 June 2020. We examined independent correlates of depression, anxiety and QoL, including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, optimism/pessimism and spiritual/religious coping. Dependent variables were assessed using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire for depressive symptoms, the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale for anxiety symptoms, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF for QoL. Correlates of depressive and anxiety disorder were estimated using logistic regression. Results There were high levels of depressive symptoms (41.9%) and anxiety symptoms (29.0%) in participants. Negative spiritual/religious coping was positively correlated with depressive disorder (odds ratio (OR) = 2.14 95% CI 1.63–2.80; P < 0.001) and with anxiety disorder (OR = 2.46 95% CI 1.90–3.18; P < 0.001), and associated with worse social and environmental QoL (P < 0.001). Healthcare professionals were less likely to have depressive symptoms (OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.55–0.93; P < 0.001). Participants with friend/family with COVID-19 scored lower on psychological and environmental QoL (P < 0.05). Participants with a longer duration of social isolation were less likely to experience anxiety disorder (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.98–0.99; P = 0.004). Conclusions We found high levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and low levels of QoL in Brazil, which has become a pandemic epicentre. Several characteristics were associated with negative mental health symptoms in this study. This information may contribute to local health policies in dealing with the mental health consequences of COVID-19.

“…Accordingly, there is still little evidence of the involvement of religious and spiritual phenomena, such as spiritual distress, and of possible strategies to minimize them, which justifies the conduct of research on such aspects, since the results will contribute significantly to practical and accurate assessment of these phenomena (18) . Moreover, shedding light on aspects related to the spiritual needs of patients enables health professionals to develop a plan of care aimed at those dimensions, and to conduct evidence-based practices and broaden the perspective of their theoretical knowledge, since the implementation of spiritual care integrates all aspects of individuals and provides them with psychological adaptation to the experience underway (19)(20) .…”

Objective: To investigate the relation between the presence of spiritual distress and use of RSC and sociodemographic, clinical and religious/spiritual variables in people with cancer. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted in an association for support to people with cancer. The data obtained with the tools were analyzed using the Spearman‘s correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney Test. Results: 129 volunteers participated in the study, of which 57% showed moderate spiritual distress, 96% used medium and high positive religious/spiritual coping. Spiritual distress showed positive correlation with negative religious/spiritual coping (P<0.001) and inverse correlation with age (p 0.002). The use of positive religious coping was statistically significant in people who have religious practices (p 0.001). Conclusão: Spiritual distress is a phenomenon that is present in the lives of people with cancer and has significant relation with the use, in a negative manner, of religion/spirituality as a way of coping with the disease.

De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde, a provisão do cuidado espiritual é parte intrínseca das boas práticas em cuidados paliativos. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender de que modo a espiritualidade/religiosidade (E/R) se relaciona com a saúde/doença no contexto dos cuidados paliativos. Foi utilizada metodologia mista, com aplicação de instrumentos de medida (Escala de Coping Espiritual Religioso e da Escala da Centralidade da Religiosidade) e entrevista fenomenológica. Participaram deste estudo 13 pacientes. A média de centralidade da religiosidade foi de 4.3 e equivale a categoria “altamente religioso/a”. Estratégias de Coping Espiritual Religioso Positivo foram altamente utilizadas (média = 4.23; DP= 1.40). A análise das narrativas sugere que a espiritualidade é utilizada como fonte de sentido, conexão com o Sagrado e recurso de enfrentamento do sofrimento. Tais resultados comprovam a relevância da integração da E/R nas práticas de cuidado e indicam a necessidade de uma adequada abordagem curricular dessa temática em cursos de Teologia e da área da Saúde. Futuros estudos devem investigar a efetividade dessa integração na prática dos cuidados em saúde.
