After screening of 7235 documents, 13 articles including 5620 participants met inclusion criteria in this meta-analysis. Correlation coefficient was -0.08 (95% CI= -0.19, -0.03) which indicated with increasing religious orientation, anxiety and depression reduced (<0.001). Characteristics such as sex, geographic region, and type of religions were potential sources of heterogeneity. Based on fill-and-trim method the adjusted pooled r was obtained, -0.06 (95% CI= -0.16, -0.04).
There was a weakness relationship between religious orientation and mental anxiety and depression. Therefore, it needs to improve knowledge of student about advantages of religious orientation.
宗教义务通过促使人们内心认同特定规则来帮助其增进心理健康。本荟萃分析旨在确定宗教取向与大学生焦虑之间的关系。
检索了包括PubMed、科学网、Science Direct、EBSCO、ProQuest和PsycINFO在内的主要科学数据库，以查找1987年至2016年发表的原创研究文章。采用随机效应模型合并相关系数。所有分析均使用Stata MP软件进行。
在筛选的7235篇文献中，本荟萃分析纳入了13篇文章，共5620名参与者符合纳入标准。相关系数为-0.08（95%置信区间=-0.19，-0.03），表明随着宗教取向增强，焦虑和抑郁程度降低（<0.001）。性别、地理区域和宗教类型等特征是异质性的潜在来源。基于填补和修剪法得出调整后的合并r值为-0.06（95%置信区间=-0.16，-0.04）。
宗教取向与心理焦虑和抑郁之间存在微弱关联。因此，需要提高学生对宗教取向优势的认识。
