This study explored the participants' perceptions of using prayer and scripture in a Christian-based stress-coping support group (CSCSG). Twenty-eight church attendances were recruited from a Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. Based on the finding from qualitative analyses using a modified grounded theory approach, four themes related to the participants' learning experiences emerged. The four themes identified were stressful life events, stress-coping experiences, integration of Christian faith with life, and spiritual connection. A follow-up survey indicated that the participants perceived the experiences gained from the CSCSG as appropriate, important, functional, and constructive in coping with stress. Research questions and implications for church professionals are discussed.
本研究探讨了参与者对在一个基于基督教的压力应对支持小组（CSCSG）中使用祈祷和经文的看法。从台湾的一个长老会教堂招募了28名教堂礼拜者。基于使用改良扎根理论方法进行的定性分析结果，出现了与参与者学习经历相关的四个主题。确定的四个主题是压力性生活事件、压力应对经历、基督教信仰与生活的融合以及精神联系。一项后续调查表明，参与者认为从CSCSG获得的经历在应对压力方面是合适的、重要的、有用的和有建设性的。文中讨论了研究问题以及对教会专业人员的启示。
