“…Some interventions focus specifically on the religious [16] or spiritual [3] beliefs and practices that boost coping, but it is likely that the benefits cause a cascade of effects that are manifested both directly and indirectly as indicated in a series of studies conducted by our team that have included demographic, clinical, and self-report data [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

et al. 2010

The purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Duke Religion Index (PDUREL) in a community setting. PDUREL was translated and adapted for administration to 383 individuals from a population-based study of low-income community-dwelling adults. The PDUREL intrinsic subscale and total scores demonstrated high internal consistency (alphas ranging from 0.733 for the total scale score to 0.758 for the intrinsic subscale). Correlations among the DUREL subscales were also examined for evidence of discriminant validity. Correlations were ranging from 0.36 to 0.46, indicating significant overlap between the scales without marked redundancy. PDUREL is a reliable and valid scale. The availability of a comprehensive, but brief measure of religiousness can help to study the role of religiousness in health by researchers from countries that speak the Portuguese language.

However, other studies have found no difference in levels of SWB in cancer and HIV populations [69,70].…”
