BACKGROUND
This paper is to examine the associations between religion, bereavement and depression among nursing professionals using a cross-sectional survey design. There is little empirical evidence in Asia suggesting that religion may either increase or lower the likelihood of nursing professionals being depressed.
METHODS
We analyzed the results of a Mental Health Survey soliciting data from 850 Hong Kong nurses (aged 21-59, 178 males) regarding their mental well-being and associated factors, including participants' socio-economic profile and recent life-events. Multiple linear regression analyses examined associations between religion, bereavement and depression.
RESULTS
Religious faith is weakly associated with lower self-reported depression in bereavement.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings confirm those studies suggesting that religion positively affects mental health and yet healthcare providers have yet to assimilate this insight.
背景
本文采用横断面调查设计，研究护理专业人员的宗教信仰、丧亲之痛与抑郁之间的关联。在亚洲，几乎没有实证证据表明宗教信仰会增加或降低护理专业人员患抑郁症的可能性。
方法
我们分析了一项心理健康调查的结果，该调查收集了850名香港护士（年龄在21至59岁之间，男性178名）的心理健康状况及相关因素的数据，包括参与者的社会经济状况和近期生活事件。多元线性回归分析检验了宗教信仰、丧亲之痛与抑郁之间的关联。
结果
宗教信仰与丧亲者自我报告的较低抑郁水平之间存在弱关联。
结论
我们的研究结果证实了那些表明宗教信仰对心理健康有积极影响的研究，但医疗保健提供者尚未领会这一见解。
