We explored the significance of religious faith/coping and spirituality and existential considerations reported during hospitalisation on depressive symptoms at 6-month follow-up and addressed patients' perceived influence of their faith among 97 consecutive acute coronary syndrome patients (72.2% male patients; mean age, 60.6 years) in a secular society. All faith variables were found unrelated to depressive symptoms. Having unambiguous religious or spiritual faith at follow-up was associated with a perceived positive influence of this faith on quality of life and the disease itself compared to patients with ambiguous faith. These findings underscore the importance of examining degrees of faith in secular settings.
我们探讨了宗教信仰/应对方式、精神性以及住院期间报告的存在主义考量对6个月随访时抑郁症状的影响，并探讨了在一个世俗社会中，97例连续急性冠状动脉综合征患者（男性患者占72.2%；平均年龄60.6岁）对其信仰的感知影响。所有信仰变量均与抑郁症状无关。与信仰不明确的患者相比，随访时拥有明确宗教或精神信仰的患者认为这种信仰对生活质量和疾病本身有积极影响。这些发现强调了在世俗环境中考察信仰程度的重要性。
