The ways in which religious beliefs influence beliefs about health have important implications for motivation to engage in positive health behaviors and comply with medical treatment. This study examines the prevalence of two health-related religious beliefs: belief in healing miracles and deferral of responsibility for health outcomes to God. Data came from a representative nationwide US survey of religion and health (N = 3010). Full-factorial ANOVA indicated that there were significant differences in both dimensions of belief by race, by religious background, and by the interaction between the two. Black people believed religion played the largest role in health regardless of religious background. Among White and Hispanic groups, Evangelical Protestants placed more responsibility for their health on God in comparison with other religious groups. ANCOVA controlling for background factors socioeconomic status, health, and religious involvement partially explained these group differences.
宗教信仰影响健康观念的方式，对于人们参与积极健康行为和遵守医学治疗的动机具有重要意义。本研究考察了两种与健康相关的宗教信仰的流行程度：对治愈奇迹的信仰，以及将健康结果的责任归于上帝。数据来自美国一项具有全国代表性的宗教与健康调查（N = 3010）。全因子方差分析表明，在信仰的两个维度上，种族、宗教背景以及两者之间的相互作用均存在显著差异。无论宗教背景如何，黑人都认为宗教在健康方面发挥的作用最大。在白人和西班牙裔群体中，与其他宗教群体相比，福音派新教徒将更多的健康责任归于上帝。控制背景因素（社会经济地位、健康状况和宗教参与度）的协方差分析部分解释了这些群体差异。
