Religion and spirituality are resources regularly used by patients with cancer coping with diagnosis and treatment, yet there is little research that examines these factors separately. This study investigated the relationships between religious practice and spirituality and quality of life (QoL) and stress in survivors of breast cancer. The sample included 130 women assessed 2 years following diagnosis. Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the authors found that spiritual well-being was significantly associated with QoL and traumatic stress, whereas religious practice was not significantly associated with these variables. The results suggest that it may be helpful for clinicians to address spirituality, in particular with survivors of breast cancer.
宗教和精神信仰是癌症患者在应对诊断和治疗时经常使用的资源,但很少有研究将这些因素分开进行考察。本研究调查了宗教活动与精神信仰、生活质量(QoL)以及乳腺癌幸存者压力之间的关系。样本包括130名在诊断后2年接受评估的女性。通过分层多元回归分析,作者发现精神幸福感与生活质量和创伤性压力显著相关,而宗教活动与这些变量无显著关联。结果表明,临床医生关注精神信仰,尤其是对乳腺癌幸存者,可能会有所帮助。
