“…In addition, frequency of attending formal religious activities and intrinsic spirituality (the involvement of religion in all of one's dealings in life) was assessed using the Duke Religious Index 28 . The Duke Religious Index is a fiveitem measure of religious involvement 29 and contains three statements regarding intrinsic religiosity: "My religious beliefs are what really lie behind my whole approach to life," "In my life I experience the presence of the Divine," and "I try hard to carry my religion over into all other dealings in life."…”

“…The first emphasizes cognitivepsychological mechanisms, e.g. that people use religion as an aid in the cognitive structuring of their life (Dull & Skokan, 1995), or as a copingstrategy (Koenig et al 1995 ;Pargament, 1997). The second theory is sociological, i.e.…”

Religion as a cross-cultural determinant of depression in elderly Europeans: results from the EURODEP collaboration

et al. 2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background. The protective effects of religion against late life depression may depend on the broader sociocultural environment. This paper examines whether the prevailing religious climate is related to cross-cultural differences of depression in elderly Europeans. Methods. Two approaches were employed, using data from the EURODEP collaboration. First, associations were studied between church-attendance, religious denomination and depression at the syndrome level for six EURODEP study centres (five countries, N l 8398). Secondly, ecological associations were computed by multi-level analysis between national estimates of religious climate, derived from the European Value Survey and depressive symptoms, for the pooled dataset of 13 EURODEP study centres (11 countries, N l 17 739). Results. In the first study, depression rates were lower among regular church-attenders, most prominently among Roman Catholics. In the second study, fewer depressive symptoms were found among the female elderly in countries, generally Roman Catholic, with high rates of regular churchattendance. Higher levels of depressive symptoms were found among the male elderly in Protestant countries. Conclusions. Religious practice is associated with less depression in elderly Europeans, both on the individual and the national level. Religious practice, especially when it is embedded within a traditional value-orientation, may facilitate coping with adversity in later life.

“…Evidências apontam um uso consideravelmente maior de estratégias de CRE positivo que negativo, para diferentes amostras em diferentes situações estressantes (Pargament et al, 1998a) e que as pessoas utilizam o CRE especialmente em situações de crise (Carver et al, 1989), principalmente diante de problemas relacionados a saúde/doença, envelhecimento e morte (Koenig et al, 1995;Siegel et al, 2001;Tix e Frazier, 1998), à perda de entes queridos (McIntosh et al, 1993) e a guerras (Pargament et al, 1994). A prevalência de uso de CRE, em diferentes estudos, foi de 79% em pacientes hospitalizados e 61,2% em psicóticos internados, em amostras do Reino Unido, e 73,4% em hospitalizados, 86% em hospitalizados e pacientes de cuidado contínuo, 59,1% em pacientes de cuidado contínuo (Harrison et al, 2001) e 80% em pacientes com doença mental crônica (Tepper et al, 2001), em amostras norte-americanas.…”

ResumoContexto: O coping religioso/espiritual (CRE), pouco estudado no Brasil, está associado à saúde e à qualidade de vida (QV). Objetivo: Apresentar revisão de literatura sobre CRE, enfocando sua base teórica, avaliação e aplicação na prática clínica. Método: Pesquisa nas bases de dados Medline, PsycINFO, Scielo e Bireme/BVS entre 1979 e 2006. Resultados: O CRE é o uso da religião, espiritualidade ou fé para lidar com o estresse. Estratégias de CRE, conforme conseqüências que trazem para quem as utiliza, podem ser classificadas como positivas ou negativas, estando geralmente associadas, respectivamente, a melhores ou piores resultados de saúde física/mental e QV. Evidências apontam que as pessoas utilizam CRE especialmente em situações de crise e, também, mais CRE positivo que negativo. Existem cinco estilos de CRE: autodireção, colaboração, delegação, súplica e renúncia. Conclusões: Instrumentos como RCOPE e Escala CRE podem ajudar na avaliação espiritual do paciente, na pesquisa e no planejamento de intervenções psicoespirituais enfocando o processo de CRE. Estas podem ser efetivas, ajudando os pacientes a mais bem utilizar um importante recurso disponível, com significativo impacto na saúde e na QV populacional, e reduzindos custos de intervenção em termos de saúde pública. Assim, o estudo do CRE mereceria ser incluído na formação dos profissionais da saúde. Bandeira, D.R. / Rev. Psiq. Clín. 34, supl 1; 126-135, 2007 Palavras-chave: Coping religioso espiritual, enfrentamento, saúde, qualidade de vida, prática clínica. Panzini AbstractBackground: Spiritual/religious coping (SRC), little studied in Brazil, is associated to health and quality of life (QoL). Objectives: To present a literature review about spiritual/religious coping, focusing its theoretical background, assessment and clinical applications. Methods: Research on Medline, PsycINFO, Scielo and Bireme/BVS databases between 1979-2006. Results: The SRC is the use of religion, spirituality or faith to cope with stress. SRC methods, depending on the consequences that bring to those who use them, can be classified into positive or negative, generally associated to better or worse physical/mental health and QoL outcomes, respectively. Evidences show that people use SRC especially in crisis situations, and also, they use more positive than negative SRC. There are five SRC styles: self-directing, collaborative, deferring, pleading and surrender. Conclusions: Instruments as RCOPE and SRCOPE Scale can be helpful to patient's spiritual evaluation, to researches and for planning psychospiritual interventions focused on the SRC process. Those can be effective in helping patients to better use an important available resource, with high impact on population's health and QoL, and potential to reduce public health costs. So, SRC studies would deserve to be included in health professionals graduate courses.
