In Phase 1, items were extracted using an adapted Delphi method; in Phase 2, validity and reliability were tested in a nationwide survey. In Phase 1, twenty experts representing Buddhism, Christianity, Shinto, Islam, and new religions extracted 16 items; in Phase 2 using a pilot scale, 1093 respondents' beliefs were analyzed. After one item was excluded, confirmatory factor analysis evaluating the 15-item-5-factor model indicated acceptable goodness of fit. In hypothesis testing, 78% were accepted. Cronbach's alpha ranged 0.79-0.93 and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged 0.50-0.65. The Scale of Motives for Faith may serve to compare motives for religious faith worldwide and to identify motives for faith in relation to social, psychological, and health impacts across countries, religions, and cultures.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between fetal health anxiety, spiritual well-being, and perceived social support levels in hospitalized pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies. This descriptive study was carried out between March and August 2024 with 175 pregnant women diagnosed with high-risk pregnancies in the obstetrics department of a medical faculty hospital in Türkiye. Data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, the fetal health anxiety inventory (FHAI), the three-factor spiritual well-being scale (SWBS), and the multidimensional perceived social support scale (MSPSS). Hospitalized women with high-risk pregnancies reported low levels of fetal health anxiety and high levels of perceived social support. It was found that pregnant women with higher educational levels and those using medication regularly had higher perceived social support levels. It was determined that the anomie subdimension of the SWBS significantly differed based on pregnancy status, while the transcendence and harmony with nature subdimensions showed significant differences based on income level. An increase in the harmony with nature score resulted in a 0.282-unit increase in the perceived social support score (β = 0.282; p = 0.005). Similarly, an increase in the anomie subdimension score led to a 0.211-unit increase in the fetal health anxiety score (β = 0.211; p = 0.005). Health professionals, in addition to providing medical interventions in high-risk pregnancies, can offer holistic care by strengthening spiritual care and social support networks.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143587722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals undergoing amputation often experience psychological and social challenges in adapting to their new circumstances. Establishing a close connection with and placing trust in a higher power, such as God, can serve as an effective coping mechanism for alleviating these difficulties. This study is a thematic analysis. The study participants included 16 patients with lower limb amputation due to traumatic accident or injury. Purposive sampling was used, which was continued until data saturation. Unstructured interviews were used as the main method of data collection. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis and constant comparison methods. The main theme emerging from the data was religious orientation, which was classified into \"fatalism,\" \"Epiphany and Reversal,\" \"faith and trust in God,\" and \"attachment to an intimate relationship with God.\" The study suggests that a strong bond with God can act as a protective factor against challenges and distress, leading to a reduction in mental health issues and overall improvement in psychological well-being.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143587719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have explored the influence of R/S on autoimmune/non-autoimmune rheumatic diseases. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on the impact of religiosity and spirituality (R/S) on the health of patients with (autoimmune and non-autoimmune) rheumatic diseases. Systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA protocol. Articles published between January 1912 and September 2024 in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PsychInfo databases were included. Few studies have explored the influence of R/S on non-autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Most studies have evaluated the impact of R/S on central sensitization pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia, and degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis. Only two studies have been conducted in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Among the 1614 articles found, 17 met the eligibility criteria. In the quality analysis of the studies, 76.5% were classified as \"good.\" The findings were then divided into \"psychological and physical impacts of R/S in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases\" and \"psychological and physical impacts of R/S in patients with non-autoimmune rheumatic diseases\". The literature demonstrates the impact of R/S on improving quality of life, especially on lower pain scores, reducing stress, and improving mood and life satisfaction. This evidence is the most robust for non-autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The effects of R/S on non-psychological aspects are uncertain. Additionally, studies have small samples, and most are not longitudinal. Therefore, longitudinal studies that consider differences such as the type of religion, standardization of R/S level mapping methods, and larger samples are necessary.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Brief Religious Coping Scale (BCOPE) and coronavirus anxiety Scale (CAS) were used to measure religious coping and coronavirus anxiety, respectively. Pearson' correlation coefficient revealed a moderate, positive correlation between coronavirus anxiety and religious (positive and negative) coping, which was statistically significant (r = .463, p < .001; r = .569, p < .001). The regression analysis for predicting coronavirus anxiety found that both age (β = .386, p = < .001) and gender (β = .172, p = < .001 were statistically significant toward explaining the variance in coronavirus anxiety. Results also showed that age (β = -.456, p = < .001); β = -.326, p = < .001) has a statistically significant, negative association with both positive and negative religious coping. The importance of providing positive religious coping strategies for congregants and instrumental and emotional support, especially for females, is discussed.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, psychological challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, and difficulty dealing with uncertainty can negatively affect life satisfaction. This study examined these dynamics using a hypothetical model, incorporating mediation and moderation analyses to explore the connections between intolerance of uncertainty, life satisfaction, religiosity, and psychological symptoms in a group of 565 participants (286 of whom were female). The findings revealed notable positive and negative relationships among these variables. Specifically, the study found that (i) religiosity and psychological symptoms both play a mediating role in the link between intolerance of uncertainty and life satisfaction, and (ii) religiosity serves as a moderator in this relationship. The moderation analysis showed that when religiosity levels are low, the negative effect of intolerance of uncertainty on life satisfaction is significantly stronger. In contrast, high levels of religiosity significantly weaken this negative relationship, indicating that religiosity acts as a buffer against the adverse impact of uncertainty on life satisfaction. These results underscore the potential value of religiosity in helping individuals cope with the harmful effects of uncertainty on their sense of life satisfaction. Additionally, lower levels of psychological symptoms and reduced intolerance of uncertainty were associated with higher life satisfaction, suggesting that religiosity may play a protective role in promoting overall well-being.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143524817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
