To assess the prevalence of religion and spirituality as a component of ophthalmology patients' value systems.
A brief questionnaire distributed to 124 consecutive patients was self-administered by the patient and was collected without identifier so that participants could be assured that answers would not affect their care. The main outcome measure was the prevalence of religious and spiritual beliefs and behaviors in ophthalmology patients.
The sample was predominantly Christian (76.6%). Of the participants, 82.3% reported that prayer was important (69.4% "very important" and 12.9% "moderately important") to their sense of well-being, and 45.2% reported weekly attendance at religious services. The prevalence of positive religious and spiritual interpretations of God's role in illness was higher than that of negative religious appraisals of God's role in illness.
The prevalence and importance of religious and spiritual beliefs in this sample of ophthalmology patients suggests that, like other medical patient populations, religion and spirituality are significant, and often positive, components of patients' value systems. Attention to religion and spirituality is one aspect of acknowledging and respecting a patient's value system and of establishing a relationship that promotes trust for making joint therapeutic decisions.
评估宗教和精神信仰作为眼科患者价值体系一部分的流行程度。
向124名连续就诊的患者发放一份简短问卷，由患者自行填写，收集时不记录身份信息，以便参与者确信其回答不会影响对他们的治疗。主要观察指标是眼科患者宗教和精神信仰及行为的流行程度。
样本中主要为基督教徒（76.6%）。在参与者中，82.3%的人报告称祈祷对他们的幸福感很重要（69.4%“非常重要”，12.9%“中等重要”），45.2%的人报告每周参加宗教仪式。对上帝在疾病中作用的积极宗教和精神解读的流行程度高于对上帝在疾病中作用的消极宗教评价。
在这个眼科患者样本中，宗教和精神信仰的流行程度及重要性表明，与其他医学患者群体一样，宗教和精神信仰是患者价值体系中重要且往往具有积极意义的组成部分。关注宗教和精神信仰是承认和尊重患者价值体系以及建立促进共同治疗决策信任关系的一个方面。
