Abstract

Objectives: Religiosity may serve as a personal source of support when people face a life-threatening illness, but it can also elicit stress. The main aim of this study is to show how various religious dimensions interplay in predicting death anxiety in patients diagnosed as having cancer.

Material and methods: In the cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical research, 141 Polish patients who were hospitalized due to cancer were selected using sequential convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Centrality of Religiosity Scale, Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, and the Death Anxiety and Dying Distress Scale.

Results: The authors' results show that the effect of the centrality of religiosity on death anxiety is non-linear. We can also confirm the mediating role of religious comfort and struggles in the relationship between the centrality of religiosity and death anxiety.

Conclusions: Thus, religious struggles appear to weaken the effect of religion on death anxiety, whereas religious comfort (contrary to expectation) does not enhance it. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2023;36(4):450-64.

癌症患者的宗教信仰与死亡焦虑:宗教安慰与挣扎的中介作用。

目的:当人们面临威胁生命的疾病时，宗教信仰可能是一种个人支持来源，但它也可能引发压力。这项研究的主要目的是显示不同的宗教维度在预测癌症患者的死亡焦虑方面是如何相互作用的。材料和方法:在横断面描述性分析研究中，采用顺序方便抽样方法选择141例因癌症住院的波兰患者。采用宗教虔诚度中心性量表、宗教舒适与压力量表和死亡焦虑与临终痛苦量表收集数据。结果:宗教信仰中心性对死亡焦虑的影响呈非线性关系。我们也可以证实宗教安慰和挣扎在宗教虔诚中心性与死亡焦虑关系中的中介作用。结论:因此，宗教斗争似乎削弱了宗教对死亡焦虑的影响，而宗教安慰(与预期相反)并没有增强它。中华临床医学杂志，2013;33(4):444 - 444。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
