The purpose of this study was to determine whether distinct latent profiles of religiousness/spirituality exist for ALWH, and if so, are latent profile memberships associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Latent profile analysis of religiosity identified four profiles/groups. Compared to the other three groups, higher levels of emotional well-being were found among young perinatally infected adolescents who attended religious services, but who did not pray privately, feel God's presence or identify as religious or spiritual. Social HRQoL was significantly higher among the highest overall religious/spiritual group. Understanding adolescent profiles of religiousness/spirituality on HRQoL could inform faith-based interventions. Trial registration NCT01289444.
本研究的目的是确定感染艾滋病病毒的青少年(ALWH)是否存在不同的宗教信仰/精神性潜在概况,若存在,潜在概况成员身份是否与健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)相关。对宗教信仰的潜在概况分析确定了四种概况/群体。与其他三组相比,在参加宗教仪式但不私下祈祷、感受不到上帝存在或不认同自己有宗教信仰或精神性的围产期感染的年轻青少年中,发现了更高水平的情绪幸福感。在总体宗教/精神性程度最高的群体中,社会HRQoL显著更高。了解青少年宗教信仰/精神性概况对HRQoL的影响可为基于信仰的干预措施提供参考。试验注册号:NCT01289444。
