Religious beliefs and practices may aid in coping with bereavement and grief after pregnancy loss. Data from 103 women enrolled in the original Lehigh Valley Perinatal Loss Project, and who were followed-up for at least 1 year, were evaluated for the impact of initial religious practices and beliefs on the course and severity of grief. Religious practices corresponding to standard scales of religiosity and agreement with specific beliefs were rated by the women on a Likert scale of 1-5. Neither agreement with statements corresponding to extrinsic and intrinsic religiosity or to positive religious coping, nor frequency of religious service attendance was predictive of follow-up scores on the Perinatal Grief Scale. Religious struggle, agreement with statements classified as negative religious coping, and continued attachment to the baby were all associated with more severe grief.
宗教信仰和实践可能有助于应对妊娠丢失后的丧亲之痛和悲伤。本研究对最初参加利哈伊河谷围产儿丢失项目的 103 名女性进行了随访，随访时间至少 1 年，评估了初始宗教实践和信仰对悲伤过程和严重程度的影响。女性对与宗教虔诚度标准量表相对应的宗教实践和对特定信仰的认同进行了 1-5 级的李克特量表评分。与外在和内在宗教性以及积极的宗教应对相对应的陈述的一致性，以及参加宗教仪式的频率均不能预测围产期悲伤量表的随访评分。宗教斗争、与被归类为消极宗教应对的陈述的一致性，以及对婴儿的持续依恋都与更严重的悲伤有关。
