Abstract

Introduction: The recognition of religion's significance in mental health has led to several scientific advances in diagnosis or treatment. In contrast, Vietnam is a multi-religious Southeast Asian country with a large number of believers, but there is almost no research addressing the impact of religiosity among Vietnamese believers on mental health concerns such as depression, happiness, and gratitude.

Participants and methods: Our cross-sectional study was focused on Vietnamese believers (N = 374), surveyed directly at different religious facilities in Vietnam. The present study was evaluated utilizing the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology.

Results: The primary findings of the study indicate that (i) age was found to positively moderate the association between intrinsic religiosity and gratitude (β = 0.191, 95% CI [0.116, 0.277], p < 0.001); (ii) Intrinsic religiosity has a positive influence on depression-happiness scale (β = 0.276, 95% CI [0.168, 0.373], p < 0.001) and gratitude (β = 0.337, 95% CI [0.205, 0.466], p < 0.001); Moreover, (iii) gratitude has a positive influence on depression-happiness scale (β = 0.381, 95% CI [0.280, 0.491], p < 0.001); Finally, (iv) the study revealed that gratitude mediates the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and depression-happiness scale (β = 0.128, 95% CI [0.071, 0.197], p < 0.001).

Discussion: The findings of this study suggest that gratitude could potentially play a significant role in comprehending the association between religiosity and the levels of depression and happiness experienced by religious individuals in Vietnam.

我们对信徒的宗教信仰对幸福和感恩的影响了解多少?- 临床实践视角。
导言:人们认识到宗教对心理健康的重要性,从而在诊断或治疗方面取得了一些科学进步。相比之下,越南是一个多宗教的东南亚国家,拥有大量信徒,但几乎没有研究涉及越南信徒的宗教信仰对抑郁、快乐和感恩等心理健康问题的影响:我们的横断面研究主要针对越南信徒(N = 374),直接在越南不同的宗教设施进行调查。本研究采用偏最小二乘法-结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)方法进行评估:研究的主要结果表明:(i) 年龄对内在宗教性与感恩之间的关系有积极的调节作用(β = 0.191,95% CI [0.116,0.277],p <0.001);(ii) 内在宗教性对抑郁-幸福量表(β = 0.276,95% CI [0.168,0.373],p <0.001)和感恩(β = 0.337,95% CI [0.205,0.466],P<0.001);此外,③感恩对抑郁-幸福量表有积极影响(β = 0.381,95% CI [0.280,0.491],P<0.001);最后,(iv)研究发现,感恩介导了内在宗教性与抑郁幸福感量表之间的关系(β = 0.128,95% CI [0.071,0.197],P < 0.001):本研究的结果表明,在理解宗教信仰与越南信教者所经历的抑郁和幸福水平之间的关系时,感恩可能会发挥重要作用。
