The relationship between abuse in childhood and religiosity/spirituality status in adulthood has been previously studied, but not in a medical sample or with the current study measure. Using a cross-sectional consecutive sample of 317 internal medicine outpatients, we asked participants, "As a child, were you the victim of either physical or sexual abuse?," and assessed religiosity/spirituality status with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12). We found that among the cohort with abuse in childhood, seven of twelve scales as well as the overall FACIT-Sp-12 score demonstrated statistically significant differences, with abused participants consistently evidencing lower religiosity/spirituality scores.
先前已经有研究探讨过儿童期虐待与成年后宗教信仰/灵性状态之间的关系，但这些研究并未针对医疗样本，也未采用当前研究中的测量方法。本研究采用横断面连续样本，纳入了 317 名内科门诊患者，询问参与者“在儿童时期，您是否遭受过身体或性虐待？”，并使用慢性疾病治疗功能评估-精神健康量表（FACIT-Sp-12）评估其宗教信仰/灵性状态。我们发现，在有儿童期虐待经历的队列中，12 个量表中的 7 个以及 FACIT-Sp-12 总分均存在统计学显著差异，受虐待的参与者表现出的宗教信仰/灵性评分始终较低。
