“…Nelas, os indivíduos estão passando por período de internação e o fundamento do tratamento para recuperação é de cunho espiritual em todos os âmbitos de CTs incluídas neste estudo (religiosas ou não). Nesse sentido, um grande número de trabalhos científicos vem apontando que o estímulo ao exercício da dimensão espiritual tem potencial para facilitar o processo de reabilitação para o abuso e a dependência de álcool e outras drogas, apesar de mecanismos ainda pouco conhecidos 12 , e isso pode estar relacionado ao novo estilo de vida em que vínculos, práticas cotidianas e até mesmo a adesão a uma determinada religião são incentivados, visando que os indivíduos consigam esquivar-se de situações que propiciem o uso de substâncias psicoativas 10,12,19,[20][21][22] . Como parecem ser evidentes os benefícios que desse tipo de intervenção podem resultar, não há motivos para não aprimorar técnicas de estímulo a fatores que estão ligados à espiritualidade nos contextos dos tratamentos para abuso e dependência de substâncias psicoativas e isso pode ser mais bem explorado com a produção de novos estudos numa perspectiva científica e interdisciplinar.…”

“…Também foi encontrado aumento no número de trabalhos que relacionam espiritualidade a assuntos correlatos ao uso de substâncias psicoativas 4 . Obser va-se atualmente um grande número de estudos que relacionam espiritualidade e saúde em diversos contextos, ressaltando os aspectos positivos dessa associação [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . Nesse sentido, para fins acadêmicos, é interessante que se criem formas padronizadas de análise do construto "espiritualidade".…”

Aplicou-se a SSRS para estudar sua consistência interna em uma amostra constituída de 138 (69%) homens usuários de substâncias psicoativas vinculados a diferentes serviços para reabilitação ou participando de grupo de mútua ajuda. Resultados: A consistência interna, analisada pelo coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, apresentou valor global de 0,8355, variando de 0,7028 a 0,8878. Conclusões: A versão brasileira da SSRS apresentou valores de consistência interna semelhantes aos da versão original em inglês e podem ser considerados bons.

“…My focus was then turned to explore spirituality in the lives of patients with ESRD and how it may influence their health outcomes and, in particular, their QOL and general well- Tanyi and Werner, 2003). Many researchers have examined the meaning of spirituality and its influence on the health outcomes of patients with chronic illnesses, including substance abuse (Wright, 2005;Leigh et al, 2005), disability (Do-Rozario, 1997), breast cancer (Henderson et al, 2003, Meraviglia, 2006, rheumatoid arthritis (Bartlett et al, 2003;Iaquinta and Larrabee, 2004), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (Cotton et al, 2006;Vance et al, 2011). In the majority of these studies, spirituality was found to be associated with more positive illness adjustment, is an important source of comfort in people living with life-threatening illness, and has been reported as a moderating factor for stress and disease outcomes Tanyi and Werner, 2003).…”

End-stage renal disease is a complex, progressive and debilitating illness that affects patients' quality of life, physical and mental health, well-being, social functioning and emotional health. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in renal dialysis centres in Scotland to assess patients' health status and the impact of haemodialysis treatment on quality of life and well-being. A sample of 72 participants was recruited. Participants scored considerably lower than the UK general population in all domains of health-related quality of life, although mental health components were nearer to general population norms than physical health components. However, 34 (47%) participants achieved a score on a general well-being questionnaire that was indicative of stress and anxiety. Increasing age was associated with better overall mental health, but worse physical functioning. Increasing levels of hope and support were associated with improved general well-being

“…Tuck, Alleyne 11) also found a negative correlation between perceived stress and spiritual wellbeing among healthy adults. In addition, spirituality was found to moderate the relationship between stressors and life satisfaction 12) and was negatively correlated with anxiety, depression, and other behavioral outcomes such as substance abuse 13) and alco- 14) . Despite the proven association between spirituality and mental health, the underlying mechanism has yet to be explored.…”

Underlying spirituality and mental health: the role of burnout: Rainbow Tin Hung Ho, et al. Centre on Behavioral Health, The University of Hong Kong, P.R.China Objective This study investigated the effects of burnout on the relationship between spirituality and mental health among healthcare workers in Hong Kong. Methods Using a cross‐sectional design, 312 healthcare workers (mean age=38.6, SD=9.9; 77.7% females) in a mental rehabilitation institution completed a self‐administered questionnaire on anxiety, depression, burnout, and daily spiritual experiences. Multivariate regressions were used to test the effects of burnout on the relationships between daily spiritual experiences and anxiety and depression. Results After adjusting for age, education level, marital status, and staff ranking, higher levels of daily spiritual experience were associated with lower levels of burnout (β =−0.22, p<0.01), depression (β =−0.68, p<0.01), and anxiety (β=−0.05, p<0.01). Burnout was found to have a significant partial mediating effect on the relationship between daily spiritual experiences and depression (z=−2.99, p<0.01), accounting for 37.8% of the variation in depression. Burnout also completely mediated the relationship between daily spiritual experiences and anxiety (z=−3.06, p<0.01), accounting for 73.9% of the variation in anxiety. Conclusions The results suggested that the association between spirituality and mental health is influenced by the level of burnout, thereby supporting the role of burnout as a potential mediator. Moreover, day‐to‐day spiritual practice was found to be potentially protective against burnout and mental health problems. Future interventions could incorporate spirituality training to reduce burnout so as to improve the well‐being of healthcare workers.
