Religiousness and spirituality are recognised as important factors to consider in both health services research and clinical practice. A large and growing number of studies have examined the relationship between, for example, religiousness and spirituality and physical and mental health, and many of these point to a positive relationship between them. Increased psychological well-being, lower prevalence of depression, substance misuse and suicidal ideation, as well as better physical health, are reported in those who are religious when compared with control groups (Koenig , 2001).
宗教信仰和精神信仰被视为健康服务研究和临床实践中需要考虑的重要因素。大量且数量不断增加的研究探讨了宗教信仰和精神信仰与身心健康之间的关系，其中许多研究表明它们之间存在积极关系。与对照组相比，有宗教信仰的人报告称心理健康状况有所改善、抑郁症、药物滥用和自杀意念的患病率较低，以及身体健康状况更好（凯尼格，2001年）。
