“…Indeed, religiosity and spirituality are considered to be central issues in the process of coping with stressors, especially in patients dealing with chronic illness. 15,16 However, religious coping is an active process that includes organized and institutionalized religious activities. [17][18][19] Islam is the religion of the majority of Iranian population.…”

Objectives:We evaluate the level of anxiety and depression among patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) in relation with their religious coping and spiritual health. Setting: Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Repair Research Center, Neuroscience Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Methods: A sample of patients with SCI participated in this cross-sectional study. They completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Brief Religious Coping Questionnaire and the Spiritual Well-being Scale. Then, the association between anxiety, depression and independent variables was examined. Results: In all, 213 patients with SCI were studied. Of these, 64 (30%) have had anxiety and 32 (15%) have had depression. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that gender (odds ratio (OR) for female = 3.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.31-8.51, P = 0.011), employment (OR for unemployed = 5.71, 95% CI = 1.17-27.78, P = 0.031), negative religious coping (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.04-1.28, P = 0.006) and existential spiritual well-being (OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.89-0.97, P = 0.003) were significant contributing factors to anxiety (Table 3), whereas negative religious coping (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.06-1.37, P = 0.004) and existential spiritual well-being (OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.84-0.96, P = 0.001) were significant contributing factors to depression. Conclusion: The findings indicated that depression and anxiety are two psychologically important side effects after SCI. The findings also indicated that religion and spiritual well-being have a moderating role on occurrence of depression and anxiety.

“…Followers with adapted sexual decision making likely recognize the role of both faith and personal/secular value influences on their sexual health practices. If member followers experienced decisional tension from competing religion and personal value dissonance, they might act to adaptively reduce the tension by framing personal-secular influences from the viewpoint of religion [7,[22][23][24] or recognizing the significance of both religion or personal value aligned influences [13,19,25]. Follower-centric measures would map both the components and salience of sexual decision influences among faith community teenagers true to them.…”

This study utilized participatory action research approaches to construct a follower-centric framework for measuring influences on sexual decision making by youth members of a church organization. Participants were Batswana Pentecostal church members self-reporting on their engagement in pre-marital sex (n = 68, females = 62%; age range 15-23 years; median age = 20.3 years) from eight of 26 randomly selected congregations. They completed a multi-stage concept mapping process that included free listing of statements of potential influences on their sexual decisions. They then sorted the statements into groupings similar in meaning to them, and rated the same statements for relative importance to their sexual decisions. Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis of the data yielded a five cluster solution in which church teachings emerged as most salient to the teenagers' sexual decision making followed by future orientation, community norms, knowledge about HIV/AIDS and prevention education. While the youth believed to be influenced by religion teachings on primary sexual abstinence, they self-reported with pre-marital sex. This suggests a need for secondary abstinence education with them to reduce their risk for STIs/HIV and unwanted pregnancies. Concept mapping is serviceable to construct frameworks and to identify content of follower-centric influences on sexual decision making by church youth members.
