The influence of psychiatric symptoms, religious attendance, social network size, and sense of control on spiritual well-being were investigated in a cross-sectional study using the Spirituality Index of Well-being. Forty-seven participants with psychiatric disabilities from six consumer-run organizations participated. A factor analysis result revealed two domains of spiritual well-being for people with psychiatric disabilities: self-perceptions regarding making sense of life (developing life purpose) and self-efficacy in obtaining life goals. Based on our regression analyses, religious attendance, expanding social network size, and having a sense of control over important areas of life may enhance spiritual well-being in spite of severity of psychiatric symptoms. Supporting mental health consumers who hope to be fully integrated into social and spiritual communities is important. Given the increased attention to consumers' internal spiritual experiences in a recovery process, this study adds to knowledge about spirituality in the mental health field.
本研究采用幸福感精神量表，调查了精神症状、宗教参与、社交网络规模和控制感对精神幸福感的影响。共有来自六个消费者运营组织的 47 名精神障碍患者参与了这项横断面研究。一项因子分析结果显示，精神障碍患者的精神幸福感有两个领域：对生活意义的自我认知（发展人生目标）和实现人生目标的自我效能。基于我们的回归分析，尽管存在严重的精神症状，但宗教参与、扩大社交网络规模和对生活重要领域的掌控感可能会增强精神幸福感。支持希望充分融入社会和精神社区的心理健康消费者非常重要。鉴于在康复过程中越来越关注消费者的内在精神体验，本研究增加了精神健康领域关于精神信仰的知识。
