“…McSherry, Cash, and Ross (2004) argue that nurses understanding about spirituality will have an impact for practice. Persaud (2007) also assert that spirituality found to correlate with disease progression by some studies. Further study is required to understand the social experience of people taking care of their loved ones when they have disclosed the HIV disease to the community.…”

The family and relatives taking care of HIV-infected patients have accepted the patients' conditions although they still feel anxious about possible transmission of HIV disease. Moreover, respondents stated that they had to be very careful not to disclose the patients' status about having infected with HIV due to high level of stigma and discrimination towards HIV patients so that patients could maintain a comfortable social interaction with other family members, relatives and neighbors.

Extending Religion-Health Research to Secular Minorities: Issues and Concerns

2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Claims about religion's beneficial effects on physical and psychological health have received substantial attention in popular media, but empirical support for these claims is mixed. Many of these claims are tenuous because they fail to address basic methodological issues relating to construct validity, sampling methods or analytical problems. A more conceptual problem has to do with the near universal lack of atheist control samples. While many studies include samples of individuals classified as "low spirituality" or religious "nones", these groups are heterogeneous and contain only a fraction of members who would be considered truly secular. We illustrate the importance of including an atheist control group whenever possible in the religiosity/spirituality and health research and discuss areas for further investigation.
