In this article, we consider the intersection of religious coping and the experience of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in a lifespan sample of adults living in South Louisiana during the 2005 storms. Participants were young, middle-age, older, and oldest-old adults who were interviewed during the post-disaster recovery period. Qualitative analyses confirmed that three dimensions of religion were represented across participants' responses. These dimensions included: 1) faith community, in relation to the significant relief effort and involvement of area churches; 2) religious practices, in the sense of participants' behavioral responses to the storms, such as prayer; and c) spiritual beliefs, referring to faith as a mechanism underlying individual and family-level adjustment, acceptance and personal growth in the post-disaster period. Implications for future disaster preparedness are considered.
在本文中，我们考察了宗教应对方式与2005年风暴期间居住在路易斯安那州南部的成年人寿命样本中卡特里娜飓风和丽塔飓风经历的交集。参与者包括年轻、中年、老年和高龄老年人，他们在灾后恢复期接受了访谈。定性分析证实，宗教的三个维度体现在参与者的回答中。这些维度包括：1）信仰社区，与当地教会的重大救援努力和参与有关；2）宗教实践，指参与者对风暴的行为反应，如祈祷；以及3）精神信仰，将信仰视为灾后个人和家庭层面调整、接受和个人成长的潜在机制。本文还考虑了对未来灾难准备工作的启示。
