“…Giaquinto et al reported that the strength of religious beliefs was a protective factor against emotional distress after stroke [38]. Researchers are increasingly interested in the role of religion on patient well-being [39][40][41][42]; for PSD specifically, further studies on a larger scale are needed to assess the impact of religion on patient evolution [41]. Nearly 80% of patients reported using alcohol.…”

The World Health Organization has highlighted the emergence of non-communicable chronic diseases, including stroke, in developing countries. As a cause of death, stroke ranks first in Africa. Stroke is the foremost cause of neuropsychiatric disease, including post-stroke depression (PSD) which is a very common disease. Surveys of this condition in Congolese patients are virtually non-existent. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of PSD in Congolese patients and identify associated sociodemographic factors. Age, sex, address, province of origin, social and professional status, education, religion and consumption habits were chosen as indicators or parameters of interest to be examined in this study. The results of descriptive analyses are presented as frequencies for categorical variables and as mean ± standard deviation for quantitative variables. The association between different variables was assessed using tables of comparisons of proportions and the Chi-square test. Logistic regression was performed to predict the occurrence of PSD. There were more male than female patients. The mean age was 54.67 ± 12.51 years. Nearly 3 fourths of the patients were aged less than 65. The family was the primary source of social support. The majority was satisfied by the social support received from the family. Just over half the study patients (53.6%) had mild to severe depression as assessed by the PHQ9. Univariate analysis and logistic regression indicated a statistically significant association between low educational level and the occurrence of PSD. However, there was no relationship between age, sex or drinking habits and the onset of PSD. The majority of the subjects were satisfied by the social support from their families. Depression was common after stroke with the occurrence of 53.6%. These results highlight the need to investigate, diagnose and treat PSD, which is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality after stroke.

“…[15, 16, 32] A possible explanation for the limited interest in this topic in the cardiology literature is that spirituality is an elusive concept, encompassing both subjective dimensions that are difficult to define and operationalize, and more easily measurable, objective dimensions such as frequency of spiritual activities or spiritual/religious affiliation.

Psychological distress is common in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and has been associated with a worse prognosis. The authors examined whether spiritual wellbeing is associated with reduced psychological distress in patients with ICDs. The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Wellbeing (FACIT-SWB) questionnare and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to measure spiritual wellbeing and overall psychological distress. Multivariate linear regression was used to explore the relationship between these variables. The study sample included 46 ICD outpatients (32 M, 14 F; age range 43–83). An inverse association between HADS and FACIT-SWB scores was found, persisting after adjustment for demographics, anxiety/depression, medications, therapist support, and functional status (F = 0.001; β= −0.31, CI: −0.44, −0.19). In conclusion, spiritual wellbeing was independently associated with lower psychological distress in ICD outpatients. Spiritual wellbeing could act as a protective factor against psychological distress in these high-risk patients.

“…Embora os alcances religiosos e espirituais sejam condições pouco exploradas na área da saúde, estudos despontam por tal temática, todavia, no que é de conhecimento dos autores, trabalhos com agrupamentos em hemiparéticos em centros de reabilitação ainda são escassos 22,23 .…”

The research field between spirituality and disease is increasingly evident, however, the relationship between spirituality/religiosity coping in post-stroke individuals has not been found in the literature. To correlate spiritual/religious coping and functional capacity in hemiparetics submitted to Group Physiotherapy in Circuit Format (GPCF). Cross-sectional study with 8 chronic hemiparetic patients in GPCF. At first, the initial evaluation was applied and after 8-weeks intervention, following CRE-brief and Timed Up and Go (TUG). There was no correlation between the CRE-brief questionnaire with TUG (r=-0.618 and p=0.102), but the effect size showed a large clinical effect (0.94). The GPCF did not promote improvement in functional capacity at the end of 8-weeks intervention and no significant correlation between CRE-brief and TUG. However, it was demonstrated positive effect in fighting of the disease and a great clinical effect among the applied evaluations.
