摘要

目的：探讨宗教习俗在海洋路癌症研究所姑息治疗中的作用及其对住院患者生活质量的影响。方法：采用定量横断面研究，采用结构化调查收集150例姑息治疗住院患者的数据。世卫组织生活质量指数（WHOQOL-BREF）工具用于衡量生活质量，以及宗教活动使用情况的数据。结果：调查结果显示，大多数参与者（90%）表示需要宗教活动，主要是祈祷。值得注意的是，尽管相当一部分患者报告生活质量较差（84.7%），但获得这些做法与改善幸福感呈正相关。结论：该研究的发现强调了将宗教习俗纳入姑息治疗的重要性，特别是在坦桑尼亚等资源匮乏的环境中，为癌症患者提供具有文化敏感性的整体支持。

Religious practices and quality of life in palliative care: insights from Tanzania.

Objective: To explore the role of religious practices in palliative care and their impact on the quality of life among inpatients at Ocean Road Cancer Institute.

Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted, using structured surveys to gather data from 150 inpatients receiving palliative care. The WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) tool was used to measure quality of life, alongside data on the usage of religious practices.

Results: The findings reveal that most of the participants (90%) expressed a need for religious practices, predominantly prayer. Notably, access to these practices positively correlated with improved perceptions of well-being, despite a considerable portion of patients reporting a poor quality of life (84.7%).

Conclusion: The study's findings highlight the importance of incorporating religious practices into palliative care, particularly in low-resource settings like Tanzania, to provide culturally sensitive, holistic support for patients with cancer.

期刊介绍： Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance. We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication. In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
