Positive and negative religious coping strategies and their relation with posttraumatic stress (PTS), psychological distress, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) were examined in the context of Hurricane Katrina. Positive religious coping was hypothesized to be associated with PTG, whereas negative religious coping was hypothesized to be associated with PTS and psychological distress. Low-income mothers (N = 386, mean age = 25.4 years, SD = 4.43) were surveyed before, and 1 and 4 years after the storm. Results from structural regression modeling indicated that negative religious coping was associated with psychological distress, but not PTS. Positive religious coping was associated with PTG. Further analysis indicated significant indirect effects of pre- and postdisaster religiousness on postdisaster PTG through positive religious coping. Findings underscore the positive and negative effect of religious variables in the context of a natural disaster.
积极和消极的宗教应对策略及其与创伤后应激（PTS）、心理困扰和创伤后成长（PTG）的关系，在卡特里娜飓风的背景下进行了研究。假设积极的宗教应对与 PTG 相关，而消极的宗教应对与 PTS 和心理困扰相关。对 386 名低收入母亲（平均年龄 25.4 岁，标准差 4.43）进行了调查，调查时间分别为风暴前、风暴后 1 年和 4 年。结构回归模型的结果表明，消极的宗教应对与心理困扰有关，而与 PTS 无关。积极的宗教应对与 PTG 有关。进一步的分析表明，宗教信仰在灾难前后对灾难后 PTG 的影响通过积极的宗教应对具有显著的间接效应。研究结果强调了在自然灾害背景下宗教变量的积极和消极影响。
