“…Also, correlations and regressions showed that positive RC was a stronger predictor of change in PTG than social support-although the role in undermining the increase of PTG by negative RC was even lower. The direct relationship and influence of positive RC with positive change in PTG corroborates the result of other studies [8] and implies that positive RC would help to find a sense in life, providing a framework of meaning that helps to understand and accept the nature of stressing events and their consequences [1]. This has led to RC being considered as a healthy psychological adaptation to stress [46], providing additional benefits to other non-religious means of coping [10].…”

“…Additionally, Rivera and Montero obtained adequate reliability for Latin American populations for both dimensions, apart from convergence validity with other scales of religiosity. In a study performed by the authors [8] with Chilean population, an α = 0.95 was obtained for positive RC, 0.90 for negative RC, and 0.90 for negative RC.…”

“…For example, a positive between the experience of childhood abuse and PTS [31], it dampened the relationship between direct traumatic events and PTG [32], and it strengthened the relationship between stress and depression [33]. Positive RC also acts as a mediator or an explanatory process, but in an opposite way, because it partially mediated the relationship between gender and PTG [16], or it totally mediated the relationship between subject severity and PTG [8].…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of positive and negative religious coping with posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) and growth (PTG). Their moderating role was also examined among predictors such as social support and the subjective severity of event with PTS and PTG. Two hundred and eleven Chilean adults (58.3% women) of 18 years and older who had been exposed to highly stressful were surveyed. The Brief-RCOPE, the Brief-COPE subscale of social support, the Subjective Severity of Event Scale, and a socio-demographic questionnaire were used as measurements at time one. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-short form (PTGI-SF) and Short Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Rating Interview (SPRINT-E) was used to collect baseline scores and six months after. The results show that negative religious coping predicts the increase in PTS, positive religious coping predicts the increase in PTG and plays a moderation role: at low levels of positive religious coping it was found a strong association between coping by seeking social support and PTG, while at high level the association is weak. These results are discussed in the framework of the functionality of positive and negative religious coping and its role in adjusting to potentially traumatic events.

“…This may be explained as negative religious coping probably evokes a persistent psychological discomfort under stress conditions and, in the specific case of health problems, it would be related to shame and guilt feelings associated with risk behaviors (Lee et al, 2014). In the Chilean population as an example, religious coping has shown a strong influence on the emotional state after a stressful event, even when perceived social support is controlled (Garc ıa, P aez, Cartes, Neira & Reyes, 2014;Garc ıa, P aez, Reyes & Alvarez, 2017).…”

This study analyzes the relationship between having experienced a work accident and developing depressive symptoms six months later, considering the subjective severity of accidents, the use of both positive and negative religious coping strategies, and brooding as predictors variables. Fifty seven women and 187 men were evaluated during the month following their accident (T1) and six months later (T2). The results show that after controlling for initial depressive symptoms, all predictors showed a statistically significant relationship with depression at six months, including the interaction between brooding and subjective severity of accident. Forty nine percent of resilient participants exhibited low symptoms at T1 and T2, 22% of recovered individuals showed high symptoms at T1 and low symptoms afterwards, 20% of depressive individuals had high symptoms at T1 and T2, and 8% exhibited high symptoms only at T2. High severity, brooding and religious coping at T1 differentiated those who exhibited stable symptoms from those who were resilient. Resilience was specifically predicted with a negative coefficient by the interaction of brooding with subjective severity of accident. We conclude that brooding is a variable that moderates the relationship between subjective severity of accident and the development and maintenance of depressive symptoms. Subjective severity of accident, brooding and negative religious coping are risk factors, while positive religious coping is not a sufficient protection factor.

“…Nevertheless, an increasing number of individual researchers have introduced the notion of religion in disaster, mainly because religion influences how people sense or manage disasters. Similarly, some international journals have begun to publish articles on the relationship between religion and disaster (or its management), such as "Religions," "Religion," "Public Health Ethics," "Disaster Prevention and Management," and others [18][19][20][21].…”

The Role of Religious Beliefs and Institutions in Disaster Management: A Case Study

Religions

Religion in Korea has been shaped by its followers to a degree, but the role of religion in Korea has been largely unexamined. This study examines the role of religion and the incorporation of religious beliefs and institutions in the field of disaster management. In doing so, the study examines how three religions-Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism-operate in Korea, in particular in terms of both care-oriented management and mitigation-oriented management approaches. While utilizing descriptive research as a methodology, policy measures have been suggested with the support of theological perspectives. Despite some difficulties in making a generalization, the major finding is that religion has a role to play in supplementing care-oriented management, with mitigation-oriented management approaches, by better grasping the nature of a disaster and its effective management while responding to regional culture. In addition, the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, local governments, and other government institutions must play new roles in incorporating religion in disaster management.
