This study examines religious/spiritual (R/S) care needs and their possible determinants among mental health patients in the Netherlands. Patients in a Christian (CC, n = 100) and a secular (SC, n = 101) mental health clinic completed a questionnaire. Analysis revealed three factors on the R/S care needs measure: (1) "R/S conversations," (2) "R/S program and recovery," and (3) "R/S similar outlook on life." The presence of R/S care needs was predicted by the following: site (CC versus SC), R/S involvement, and religious strain. Most commonly, unmet R/S care needs were explanation about R/S and illness by the practitioner, prayer with a nurse, conversations about religious distress with a nurse, conversation when R/S conflicts with treatment, help in finding a congregation, and contact between chaplain and practitioner. "R/S similar outlook on life" was equally important to patients with and without R/S involvement. Patients appreciate a match in worldview with health professionals, either religious or secular.
本研究考察了荷兰心理健康患者的宗教/精神（R/S）关怀需求及其可能的决定因素。基督教（CC，n=100）和世俗（SC，n=101）心理健康诊所的患者完成了一份问卷。分析显示，R/S 关怀需求量表有三个因素：（1）“R/S 对话”，（2）“R/S 计划和康复”，（3）“R/S 相似的人生观”。R/S 关怀需求的存在由以下因素预测：地点（CC 与 SC）、R/S 参与度和宗教紧张度。最常见的是，从业者对 R/S 和疾病的解释、与护士一起祈祷、与护士谈论宗教困扰、当 R/S 与治疗冲突时的对话、帮助寻找会众以及牧师和从业者之间的联系，这些 R/S 关怀需求都未得到满足。“R/S 相似的人生观”对有和没有 R/S 参与的患者同样重要。患者希望与健康专业人士在世界观上保持一致，无论是宗教人士还是世俗人士。
