For many patients, religion plays a predominant role in their lives and may help them cope with their symptoms (Saad & de Medeiros, 2012). By now, several thousand studies have been conducted demonstrating positive associations between both variables (Koenig et al, 2001).…”

A high spirituality level will lead to peace of mind and calmness in facing a life full of challenges. Thus, spirituality level determined how well someone's quality of life and resilience are. This library research aims to seek the relationship between spirituality, quality of life, and resilience. We reviewed journals that provide evidence that spirituality has a significant relationship with quality of life and resilience. Twenty quantitative research journals with correlational analysis in their hypotheses testing and published in 2013 to 2018 were reviewed. The result showed that all of the studies have proven that spirituality has a significant positive relationship with quality of life, as well as resilience in various sexes, ages, occupations, and illnesses. The higher a person's spiritual level, the better his quality of life and his resilience in facing life's problems.

“…2 Often, therefore, the term religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is used to refer to transcendent elements of meaning, purpose, and connectivity. 3 A growing body of scientific studies has demonstrated a consistent positive association between religious involvement and beneficial effects on physical health. 4 A more frequent participation in religious activities is associated with many biological markers indicative of good health in old age, including lower pulse frequencies and overall allostatic load, lower body mass, diastolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein, and Epstein-Barr virus.…”

ImplIcatIons for publIc health of the relIgIosIty-longevIty relatIon rev assoC med bras 2017; 63(10):837-841 837 POINT OF VIEWImplications for public health of the religiosity-longevity relation A growing body of scientific studies has demonstrated a consistently positive association between religious-spiritual (R/S) involvement and beneficial effects on physical health, culminating with increased longevity. This protective effect on the mortality risk is not only statistically significant but also clinically relevant. The mechanisms involved in this association include psycho-neuro-endocrineimmune pathways, greater adherence to healthy behaviors and diverse social factors. Public health strategies could better explore this association. This can be done on an individual (health professionals adopting simple measures) or institutional scale (health institutions joining religious organizations). Some evidence suggests that the benefits of R/S to health and longevity would be more present in populations from more religious regions. In this sense, the Americas (Latin and North) are privileged places for the exploration of this association, compared to regions where there is certain indifference about R/S practices. Exploring this interface can improve the supply and usage of health care, especially for marginalized populations. To achieve this, health professionals, religious leaders and policy makers need to work together.
