Researchers in psychology have studied the influence of forgiveness on the both the psychological and physical health of individuals. In addition, parish nursing is also looking at forgiveness as a potential benefit for self-care and health promotion. Forgiveness was measured using Enright's Forgiveness Inventory. Health was measured using Spielberg's State/Trait Anger measure, Beck's II Depression measure, SPF-15 Health Survey. Body Mass Index was also calculated. Mixed Methods was also used to describe the qualitative findings using content analysis on the types of unjust violations Christian women experienced. Women expressed very severe unjust violations involving sexual, physical, emotional, financial and spiritual abuse. Statistical correlations suggested important relationships among forgiveness and overall health measures warranting further investigation. The relationship between Church type and forgiveness raised questions about women's role in the Church as well as, the importance of acknowledging personal feelings, which are excluded in many orthodox denomination's doctrines.
心理学领域的研究人员探讨了宽恕对个体心理和身体健康的影响。此外，教区护理也将宽恕视为自我护理和健康促进的潜在益处。宽恕程度通过恩赖特宽恕量表进行衡量。健康状况则使用斯皮尔伯格状态/特质愤怒量表、贝克抑郁量表第二版、SPF - 15健康调查问卷进行评估。同时还计算了体重指数。研究采用混合方法，通过对基督教女性所经历的不公正侵犯类型进行内容分析来描述定性研究结果。女性表示遭受了极其严重的不公正侵犯，包括性虐待、身体虐待、情感虐待、经济虐待和精神虐待。统计相关性表明宽恕与整体健康指标之间存在重要关联，值得进一步研究。教会类型与宽恕之间的关系引发了关于女性在教会中的角色以及承认个人情感的重要性的问题，而在许多正统教派的教义中，个人情感是被排除在外的。
