“…The high prevalence and losses related to stress and anxiety often oppose an ineffective mental health assistance, which promotes a collective search for non-medical care (Gomide & Moreira-Almeida, 2022). Spirituality and the healthy religious practice were mentioned as promoting mental wellbeing in numerous investigations, since the oldest (Gordon W. Allport, 1950; G. W. Allport & Ross, 1967;Larson et al, 1998;Pargament, Koenig, & Perez, 2000), to the most recent (Bazley et al, 2019;Lace, Evans, Merz, & Handal, 2020;Paul Victor & Treschuk, 2020). Likewise, religious and spiritual practices are sought and used by societies worldwide as a health resource (Flores et al, 2020), because of faith, community support, the given self-care or due to private matters (Peres et al, 2018;Vitorino et al, 2018).…”

Prevalence of stress and anxiety in people with some Level of Spiritist Engagement (LSE) before and during the pandemic. A cross-sectional study with 848 people with LSE in Ceará/Brazil. Findings were significant on the severe stress and anxiety of young adults (15,0% and 15,9%, respectively), in marital crisis (17,1% and 15,9%), who were affected very/completely by social confinement (14,8% and 16,7%), who suffered violence (15,5% and 16,9%), who self-inflicted violence (29,4% and 35,3%), whose self-perception of the emotional health was bad/awful (35,7% and 33,9%), and that used 3 or more psychiatric drugs a day before (22,9% and 28,6%) and during the pandemic (31,6% for stress and anxiety). Severe stress and anxiety were more associated to low and very low LES before and during COVID-19. Spiritism reinforces itself as a religion of psychological quest and a higher LES seems to be connected to less severe anxiety and stress levels.
