Aspects of religiosity/spirituality are important to health and quality of life of cancer patients. The three components of religiosity of the Duke Religiosity Scale: organizational (religious affiliation and attendance); non-organizational (prayer, meditation, and private study); and intrinsic religiosity (identification with a higher power and integration of spiritual belief into daily life) are used to determine whether religiosity was associated with physical and/or mental functioning among older cancer survivors of the UAB Study of Aging. Church attendance was independently associated with lower ADL and IADL difficulty and fewer depressive symptoms, while intrinsic religiosity was independently associated with lower depression scores.
宗教信仰/精神层面的因素对癌症患者的健康和生活质量很重要。杜克宗教信仰量表的宗教信仰三个组成部分：组织性（宗教归属和参加宗教活动）；非组织性（祈祷、冥想和个人学习）；以及内在宗教信仰（认同更高力量并将精神信仰融入日常生活），被用于确定在UAB衰老研究中的老年癌症幸存者中，宗教信仰是否与身体和/或心理功能相关。参加教会活动与较低的日常生活活动能力（ADL）和工具性日常生活活动能力（IADL）困难以及较少的抑郁症状独立相关，而内在宗教信仰与较低的抑郁评分独立相关。
