Religiosity is associated with improved treatment outcomes among adults with alcohol dependence; however, it is unknown whether religious coping predicts drinking outcomes above and beyond the effects of coping in general, and whether gender differences exist.
We assessed 116 alcohol-dependent adults (53% women; mean age = 37, SD = 8.6) for use of religious coping, general coping, and alcohol use within 2 weeks of entering outpatient treatment, and again 6 months after treatment.
Religious coping at 6 months predicted fewer heavy alcohol use days and fewer drinks per day. This relationship was no longer significant after controlling for general coping at 6 months.
The relationship between the use of religious coping strategies and drinking outcomes is not independent of general coping. Coping skills training that includes religious coping skills, as one of several coping methods, may be useful for a subset of adults early in recovery.
This novel, prospective study assessed the relationship between religious coping strategies, general coping, and treatment outcomes for alcohol-dependent adults in treatment with results suggesting that the use of religious coping as one of several coping methods may be useful for a subset of adults early in recovery.
宗教虔诚与成年酒精依赖者改善的治疗效果相关；然而，宗教应对是否能在一般应对效果之外预测饮酒结果，以及是否存在性别差异尚不清楚。
我们评估了116名酒精依赖成年人（53%为女性；平均年龄=37岁，标准差=8.6）在进入门诊治疗后2周内以及治疗后6个月的宗教应对、一般应对和酒精使用情况。
6个月时的宗教应对预测重度饮酒天数减少且每日饮酒量减少。在控制了6个月时的一般应对后，这种关系不再显著。
宗教应对策略的使用与饮酒结果之间的关系并非独立于一般应对。将宗教应对技能作为几种应对方法之一纳入的应对技能培训，可能对康复早期的一部分成年人有用。
这项新颖的前瞻性研究评估了宗教应对策略、一般应对与酒精依赖成年人治疗结果之间的关系，结果表明将宗教应对作为几种应对方法之一使用，可能对康复早期的一部分成年人有用。
