In clinical care settings, religiosity may serve as an important source of support for coping with the prenatal diagnosis of fetal abnormalities. This study evaluated the influence of religiosity on the situational coping of 28 pregnant women with fetal abnormalities. The study was approved by the institutional research ethics committee, and the informed consent document was obtained from all participants included in this study. Validated measures of religiosity and situational coping were used to evaluate data collected. Practical religiosity but not intrinsic religiosity correlated positively and significantly with coping scores. However, the severity of the fetal malformations did not correlate significantly with the scores of maternal coping. The results showed that religious practices were associated with improved coping in women diagnosed with fetal abnormalities and should be encouraged in care settings.
在临床护理环境中,宗教信仰可能是应对产前胎儿异常诊断的重要支持来源。本研究评估了宗教信仰对 28 名患有胎儿异常的孕妇情境应对能力的影响。该研究得到了机构研究伦理委员会的批准,并从所有参与本研究的参与者那里获得了知情同意书。使用经过验证的宗教信仰和情境应对测量方法来评估收集的数据。实用的宗教信仰而不是内在的宗教信仰与应对评分呈正相关且显著相关。然而,胎儿畸形的严重程度与母亲应对评分无显著相关性。结果表明,宗教实践与诊断为胎儿异常的女性的应对能力提高有关,应该在护理环境中加以鼓励。
