“…Similar to the results obtained in the current study, Piccinini et al found that negative religious/spiritual coping was associated with higher levels of depressive, anxious, and stress symptoms and worse physical and psychological quality of life (Piccinini et al, 2021). It has been stated in the literature that individuals with low religiosity and spirituality are depressed, have higher level of anxiety, and experience worse quality of life and psychiatric consequences (Bonelli, 2013;Koenig, 2007Koenig, , 2009Lucchetti et al, 2012;Piccinini et al, 2021). The studies conducted on the subject indicate that some stressors such as fetus' health, pregnancy-related disorders, mother's anxiety, social problems, insomnia, low family, and social support can negatively affect the mental health of pregnant women.…”

“…Although evidence exists in the literature that there is no risk of transmission to the fetus (Chen et al, 2020), women's concerns about their own and the fetus' health may negatively affect their health. Similar to the results obtained in the current study, Piccinini et al found that negative religious/spiritual coping was associated with higher levels of depressive, anxious, and stress symptoms and worse physical and psychological quality of life (Piccinini et al, 2021). It has been stated in the literature that individuals with low religiosity and spirituality are depressed, have higher level of anxiety, and experience worse quality of life and psychiatric consequences (Bonelli, 2013;Koenig, 2007Koenig, , 2009Lucchetti et al, 2012;Piccinini et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the depression, anxiety, stress levels, and religious coping strategies of Turkish pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the pregnant women involved in this study (N = 327), 74.6% were concerned about their health, whereas 85.9% had concerns about the health of the fetus during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that 19.9% had extremely severe depression, 97.9% had extremely severe anxiety, and 52.3% had severe stress symptoms. Religious coping scores of the pregnant women included in the study were found to be high. There was a weak positive correlation between positive religious coping and depression and a very weak negative correlation between negative religious coping and depression.

“…As an aside, it is important to mention that this vast literature on religion, spirituality, and health is mainly composed of cross-sectional studies [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The difficulty of making causal inferences, the susceptibility to bias or the difficulty in interpreting the associations identified are some of the limitations that are typical of cross-sectional studies [ 21 ].…”

What Aspects of Religion and Spirituality Affect the Physical Health of Cancer Patients? A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the literature on the relationship between religion and spirituality (R/S) and the health of cancer patients has been flourishing. Although most studies focus on mental health, many study the physical health of these individuals. In order to summarize the findings of these studies, we reviewed the most recent research on this subject using the PubMed and PsycInfo databases. The objective of this systematic review was to recognize the primary R/S variables studied in research on physical health in cancer contexts. We found that spiritual well-being was the most-researched variable in studies of these characteristics, followed by R/S struggles and other variables such as religious coping; religious commitment or practice; or self-rated R/S. In general, R/S seems to have a positive association with the physical health of cancer patients, although the results are quite heterogeneous, and occasionally there are no relationships or the association is negative. Our results may assist in improving interventions that include spirituality in clinical settings as well as the development of holistic approaches, which may have a positive impact on the quality of life and well-being of cancer patients.
