Religiosity, Mental Health and Quality of Life of Brazilian Medical Students: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study.
Although studies have examined the relationship between mental health and quality of life in medical students, few have explored the influence of religiosity and its effect on a long-term period. This study aims to investigate the longitudinal relationship between religiosity, mental health and quality of life among Brazilian medical students. This is a two-year follow-up study, assessing sociodemographics, religiosity (Duke Religion Index), mental health (DASS-21) and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF). A total of 277 students were included. There were significant changes in the religious beliefs of students over time, and students exhibited low levels of religious attendance and private religious practices, but high levels of intrinsic religiosity. The results have also revealed that an increase in organizational religiosity was significantly associated with a decrease in depressive symptoms (Beta = -0.121, p = 0.044) and an increase in physical quality of life (Beta = 0.135, p = 0.031), even after adjustments.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Religion and Health is an international publication concerned with the creative partnership of psychology and religion/sprituality and the relationship between religion/spirituality and both mental and physical health. This multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal publishes peer-reviewed original contributions from scholars and professionals of all religious faiths. Articles may be clinical, statistical, theoretical, impressionistic, or anecdotal. Founded in 1961 by the Blanton-Peale Institute, which joins the perspectives of psychology and religion, Journal of Religion and Health explores the most contemporary modes of religious thought with particular emphasis on their relevance to current medical and psychological research.
