摘要

这篇文章详细介绍了在埃塞俄比亚的亚的斯亚贝巴,家庭照顾者与慢性病患者一起生活和照顾的宗教经历。这项现象学研究对从提库尔安贝萨专科医院招募的20名家庭照顾者进行了深入访谈,这些家庭照顾者在医疗预约或住院期间陪伴着他们的亲人。采用专题分析法对收集到的数据进行分析。调查结果显示,宗教活动和服务是家庭应对的关键资源,他们经常承担照顾慢性病患者的负担。人们普遍认为,健康、疾病和康复与精神实践或邪恶行为有着错综复杂的联系。这种观点经常导致患有慢性疾病的家庭照顾者从宗教机构寻求精神支持,而不是仅仅依靠药物。他们通常会参加一些仪式,比如祈祷、禁食、用圣水洗澡或喝圣水(tsebel),寻求身体疼痛的治疗,情感创伤的安慰,以及陪伴和其他关系资源的社会支持。无论宗教背景如何,亚的斯亚贝巴都提供宗教服务,确保没有宗教障碍。家庭通常优先考虑他们所爱的人的健康,在不同的地方寻求治疗服务。这种包容性使他们能够获得支持,而不会因为信仰而感到被排斥,为所有宗教创造了欢迎的环境。这种照顾方法使家庭在不确定的情况下感到控制感和希望。文章强调,将宗教实践纳入护理可以提高幸福感,改善健康结果,并增强社会和情感支持。

Religion as a Functional Equivalent of Medicine: Religious Experiences of Family Caregivers of People with Chronic Illnesses in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This article details the religious experiences of family caregivers in living with and caring for people with chronic illnesses in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This phenomenological study conducted in-depth interviews with 20 family caregivers recruited from Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, who accompanied their loved ones during medical appointments or hospital stays. It used a thematic analysis to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed that religious practices and services serve as a crucial coping resource for families who often take the caregiving burden for people with chronic illnesses. The widely held belief is that health, illness, and healing are intricately linked to spiritual practices or wicked deeds. This perspective often leads family caregivers with chronic illnesses to seek spiritual support from religious institutions as a functional equivalent rather than relying solely on medicine. They usually participate in rituals, like prayer, fasting, bathing with or drinking holy water (tsebel), seeking healing for physical pain, comfort for emotional tolls, and social support for companionship and other relational resources. Religious services are available in Addis Ababa regardless of religious background, ensuring the absence of religious barriers. Families often prioritize their loved one's health by seeking healing services in various places. This inclusivity allows accessing support without feeling excluded for their beliefs, creating welcoming environments for all religions. This approach to caregiving enables families to feel a sense of control and hope during uncertainty. The article highlights that incorporating religious practices into caregiving enhances well-being, improves health outcomes, and boosts social and emotional support.
