Abstract

Research on the pathways through which positive/negative religious coping (PRC/NRC) styles work, is sparse. This cross-sectional study examined hope as a mediating pathway in the association between PRC/NRC and depressive symptoms in 155 hospital inpatients in Belgium that self-reported to be religious (mostly Catholic, Christian or religious without affiliation to a religious institute). Patients relying more on NRC tend to have more depressive symptoms through the mechanism of hope. Interestingly, the direct relationship found between NRC and depressive symptoms points to the likelihood of an omitted mediator requiring further research. Patients more often using PRC tend to have fewer depressive symptoms through the mechanism of hope. No direct relationship between PRC and depressive symptoms was found.
比利时宗教住院患者的宗教应对与抑郁症状:希望的中介作用
关于积极/消极宗教应对(PRC/NRC)方式的作用途径的研究很少。本横断面研究考察了希望作为PRC/NRC与比利时155名自我报告为宗教(主要是天主教、基督教或不隶属于宗教机构的宗教)住院患者的抑郁症状之间关联的中介途径。更依赖NRC的患者往往通过希望机制产生更多的抑郁症状。有趣的是,NRC与抑郁症状之间的直接关系表明,可能存在一种被忽略的中介,需要进一步研究。使用PRC的患者往往通过希望机制减少抑郁症状。未发现PRC与抑郁症状有直接关系。
