Background: Religion is a powerful coping strategy. Diabetes and depression are common conditions in our environment that induce psychological distress, thus requiring coping for better outcome. Studies indicate that increased religiosity is associated with better outcome in clinical and general populations. Therefore, studies of the distribution of religiosity and religious coping among these populations are essential to improve outcome. Objectives: To assess the association between religiosity, religious coping in depression and diabetes mellitus, and selected sociodemographic variables (age, gender and occupational status). Methods: Using simple random sampling we recruited 112 participants with diabetes and an equal number with depression consecutively, matching for gender. Religiosity was determined using religious orientation scale (revised), religious coping with brief religious coping scale and socio-demographic variables with a socio-demographic questionnaire. Results: Intrinsic religiosity was greater among older people with depression than among older people with diabetes(t=5.02,p<0.001); no significant difference among young people with depression and diabetes(t=1.47,p=0.15).Positive religious coping was greater among older people with depression than among older people with diabetes(t=2.31,p=0.02); no difference among young people with depression and diabetes(t=0.80,p=0.43). Females with depression had higher intrinsic religiosity scores than males with depression(t=3.85,p<0.001); no difference in intrinsic religiosity between females and males with diabetes(t=0.99,p=0.32).Positive religious coping was greater among participants with diabetes in the low occupational status(t=2.96,p<0.001) than those in the high occupational status. Conclusion: Religion is indeed a reliable coping method, most commonly used by the elderly and females with depression. Positive religious coping is more common among diabetic patients who are in the low occupational status.

“…Whereas some show positive associations between the spiritual/religious dimension and the social and psychological dimensions of QoL (well-being, satisfaction in life, marital stability, pro-social values), others show negative associations (anxiety, depression, suicide and risky behaviors). 10,12,13 Spirituality and religiosity are frequently mentioned as protective factors for health, 3,11,13 and they represent adaptive characteristics of life according to Positive Psychology. 17 However, the majority of instruments that evaluate QoL do not include them as one of their domains, or only include them in other domains, such as the psychological and social ones.…”

OBJETIVO: Analisar propriedades psicométricas do Instrumento de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial da Saúde - Módulo Espiritualidade, Religiosidade e Crenças Pessoais (WHOQOL-SRPB). MÉTODOS: O WHOQOL-SRPB, a Escala de Coping Religioso/Espiritual Abreviada (CRE-Breve), o WHOQOL-Breve e o BDI foram consecutivamente aplicados em amostra de conveniência de 404 pacientes e funcionários de hospital universitário e funcionários de universidade, em Porto Alegre, RS, entre 2006 e 2009. A amostra foi estratificada por sexo, idade, estado de saúde e religião/crença. O reteste dos dois primeiros instrumentos foi realizado com 54 participantes. Análises fatoriais exploratórias do WHOQOL-SRPB pelo método dos componentes principais foram realizadas sem delimitar o número de fatores, solicitando oito fatores e em conjunto com os itens do WHOQOL-Breve. RESULTADOS: O WHOQOL-SRPB em português brasileiro (Domínio SRPB-Geral) apresentou validade de construto, com validade discriminativa entre crentes de não-crentes (t = 7,40; p = 0,0001); validade relacionada ao critério concorrente, discriminando deprimidos de não-deprimidos (t = 5,03; p = 0,0001); validade convergente com o WHOQOL-Breve (com físico r = 0,18; psicológico r = 0,46; social r = 0,35; ambiental r = 0,29; global r = 0,23; p = 0,0001) e com o Domínio SRPB do WHOQOL-100 (r = 0,78; p = 0,0001); e validade convergente/discriminante com a Escala CRE-Breve (com CREpositivo r = 0,64; p = 0,0001/CREnegativo r = -0,03; p = 0,554). Observou-se excelente fidedignidade teste-reteste (t = 0,74; p = 0,463) e consistência interna (α = 0,96; correlação intrafatorial 0,87 > r > 0,60, p = 0,0001). As análises fatoriais exploratórias realizadas corroboraram a estrutura de oito fatores do estudo multicêntrico do WHOQOL-SRPB. CONCLUSÕES: O WHOQOL-SRPB em português brasileiro apresentou boas qualidades psicométricas e uso válido e fidedigno para uso no Brasil. Sugerem-se novos estudos com populações específicas, como diferentes religiões, grupos culturais e/ou doenças.
