This study explored the relationships between faith factors and internal health locus of control (IHLC) beliefs. Based on a review of different relationships of perceived control, spiritual surrender and faith factors in the liberation, we assumed a multivariate association among them. Using data from two sequential interviews and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' Adult Cardiac Database, we tested these associations in a final sample of 202 middle-aged and older patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Primary findings from two-step multiple regression analyses supported hierarchical multi-faceted hypotheses. Greater internal control was positively associated with private prayer for coping, an event-specific, 'vicarious' control strategy, but negatively related to subjective religiosity, general faith measure controlling for other confounders, especially cardiac-significant ones.
本研究探讨了信仰因素与内在健康控制源（IHLC）信念之间的关系。基于对解放过程中感知控制、精神屈服和信仰因素不同关系的综述，我们假设它们之间存在多元关联。利用来自两次连续访谈的数据以及胸外科医师协会的成人心脏数据库，我们在202例接受心脏直视手术的中老年患者的最终样本中检验了这些关联。两步多元回归分析的主要结果支持了分层多方面假设。更强的内部控制与用于应对的私人祈祷呈正相关，私人祈祷是一种针对特定事件的“替代”控制策略，但与主观宗教信仰呈负相关，在控制了其他混杂因素（尤其是与心脏相关的显著因素）的情况下，与一般信仰测量指标也呈负相关。
