There is a growing interest in addressing spirituality in health care with evidence emerging that personal spiritual and religious practices, and support of these, can influence mental health in a positive way. However, there can be distinct challenges to spiritual expression and mental health issues for youth who identify as LGBT+. The goal of this paper was to undertake a systematic review of the available evidence to investigate the relationship between mental health, spirituality and religion as experienced by LGBT+ youth. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using medical and psychological databases that focused on spirituality, mental health and LGBT+ youth. The search yielded a total of ten articles published in English between May 2008 and June 2018. The key findings highlighted issues around discriminatory attitudes, shame related to disclosure, spirituality as a supportive resource, internalised conflict and external factors around sexual orientation concerns. The psychological, social and health implications are presented and discussed.
人们越来越关注在医疗保健中关注灵性，有证据表明，个人的精神和宗教实践以及对这些实践的支持，可以以积极的方式影响心理健康。然而，对于认同 LGBT+的年轻人来说，表达灵性和解决心理健康问题可能会面临明显的挑战。本文的目的是对现有证据进行系统综述，以调查 LGBT+青年所经历的心理健康、灵性和宗教之间的关系。使用专注于灵性、心理健康和 LGBT+青年的医学和心理学数据库进行了全面的文献检索。搜索共产生了 10 篇于 2008 年 5 月至 2018 年 6 月期间以英文发表的文章。主要研究结果强调了与歧视性态度、与披露相关的羞耻感、作为支持资源的灵性、内在冲突以及与性取向相关的外部因素等问题。本文呈现并讨论了这些问题所带来的心理、社会和健康影响。
