“…It should be added that this means strengthening the potential of healthy people during the spread of an infectious disease, and not alleviating symptoms or disorders among infected people or health care workers. Moreover, what is measured as satisfaction with life may differ from what individuals generally consider to be genuine happiness or lasting personal fulfilment, and from what may constitute elements of personal well-being [ 113 , 114 ].…”

Recent data have indicated that people may have experienced fear during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between religious coping and life satisfaction by analysing the indirect effects of fear of COVID-19. Methods: This study included 365 people (75% women) aged 18–78 years. The procedure consisted of completing questionnaires to measure religious coping, COVID-19 anxiety, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with social support. Results: Structural equation modelling showed that positive religious coping was related to greater life satisfaction and greater satisfaction with social support during the pandemic. Moreover, fear of COVID-19 mediated the relationship between negative religious coping and life satisfaction and social support satisfaction. Conclusions: The data suggest a need for practitioners to focus on interventions that enhance positive religious coping to improve life satisfaction during the spread of infectious diseases.

“…Poland, with at least three-quarters of adults (87%) identifying themselves as Catholics (Pew Research Center; PRC Pew Research Center), is one of the European countries where Catholics are still the largest religious group. However, different studies (Büssing et al 2014) report that the situation in Poland has lately begun to change, and religion is gradually becoming a private matter for some believers, beyond institutionalized participation. In fact, the religious profile of Poland, presented by a recent PRC (Pew Research Center) report and based on an overall combined index, shows that 23% of Polish young adults under 40 are significantly less likely to consider religion as very important in their lives, compared with 40% of older ones.…”

An extensive review of the psychological literature shows that interactions between religious/spiritual (R/S) struggles and other aspects of human functioning are complex and affected by “third” factors. Still, we have only a few studies that confirm R/S struggles as a source of well-being and indicate the ways in which it happens. In the present study, we aimed to verify whether the relationship between R/S struggles and life satisfaction was mediated by dispositional gratitude that seems to offer protection in times of adversity and turmoil. The sample consisted of 440 Roman Catholics (331 women) from Poland aged between 18 and 40. We applied the Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Gratitude Questionnaire. In line with our hypotheses, it was confirmed that respondents with higher life satisfaction were more likely to display a higher sense of trust in God. They also declared a lower fear/guilt and perception of God as abandoning people. Gratitude correlated positively and significantly with religious comfort, and negatively with emotions towards God and social interactions surrounding religion. Moreover, it can be affirmed that dispositional gratitude mediated the relationship between three of four dimensions of religious strain and life satisfaction: religious comfort, negative emotions towards God, and negative social interactions surrounding religion.

“…In secular Germany, the indicator of spirituality (particularly religious trust) is only marginally related to life satisfaction as measured with the BMLSS (45). Also in highly religious patients from Poland, life satisfaction is not generally elated to indicators of spirituality: Religious practices were not at all related, while the perception of awe/gratitude an indicator of perceptive spirituality was weakly associated (46). Further, in Catholic Polish person's religious trust in God was weakly only related to their life satisfaction (47).…”

Background: Due to the growing prevalence of cancer globally, the disease is considered one of the most important sources of stress, disability, and reduced life satisfaction. Although life satisfaction is supposed to be a relatively stable psychological construct, it may change in response to life events. Life-satisfaction is the assessment of the quality of life according to one’s chosen criteria. Objectives: The purpose of this research is the psychometric evaluation of the Persian version of “Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale” (BMLSS) in Iranian patients with cancer. Methods: The present study was a methodological research, during which the BMLSS was translated and the Farsi version was validated for patients with cancer. Results: The fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the dual dimension of the BMLSS. Regarding the convergent validity of the BMLSS, the total score of the instrument had a positive and significant relationship with age and the sense of religiosity. Cronbach's alpha and Intraclass Correlation were calculated. Conclusions: The findings indicated that this Persian version has good validity and reliability and can be used as a comprehensive instrument in Iran.
