To examine the association between religious fatalism and health care utilization, health behaviors, and chronic illness.
As part of Nashville's REACH 2010 project, residents (n=1273) participated in a random telephone survey that included health variables and the helpless inevitability subscale of the Religious Health Fatalism Questionnaire.
Religious health fatalism was higher among African Americans and older participants. Some hypotheses about the association between fatalism and health outcomes were confirmed.
Religious fatalism is only partially predictive of health behaviors and outcomes and may be a response to chronic illness rather than a contributor to unhealthy behaviors.
探讨宗教宿命论与医疗保健利用、健康行为及慢性病之间的关联。
作为纳什维尔2010年“拓展”项目的一部分,1273名居民参与了一项随机电话调查,该调查涵盖健康变量以及宗教健康宿命论问卷中的无助必然性分量表。
非裔美国人和老年参与者的宗教健康宿命论程度更高。关于宿命论与健康结果之间关联的一些假设得到了证实。
宗教宿命论仅部分预示健康行为和结果,可能是对慢性病的一种反应,而非不健康行为的促成因素。
