Religiosity and spirituality predict lower alcohol and other substance use in community samples of adolescents and adults. However, the roles of religiosity and spirituality in substance use have not been examined in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Adults with CF (n = 123) completed measures of spirituality, religiosity, and substance use. Clinical measures of illness severity (e.g., BMI and %FEV) were obtained from participants' medical records. Substance use rates for alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana were lower in this sample than those seen in the general population. Of the measured BMMRS subscales, spiritual experiences and religious commitment were significant predictors of lower alcohol use. These results suggest that personal factors of religiosity and spirituality are more important for substance use in adults with CF than participation in religious service and events or adoption of religious practices.
宗教信仰和精神信仰可预测青少年和成年人社区样本中的较低的酒精和其他物质使用。然而，在囊性纤维化 (CF) 个体中，尚未研究宗教信仰和精神信仰在物质使用中的作用。123 名 CF 成年人完成了精神信仰、宗教信仰和物质使用的测量。疾病严重程度的临床测量指标（例如 BMI 和 FEV%）是从参与者的病历中获得的。与一般人群相比，该样本的酒精、烟草和大麻使用率较低。在所测量的 BMMRS 子量表中，精神体验和宗教承诺是较低的酒精使用的显著预测因素。这些结果表明，在 CF 成年人中，与参加宗教服务和活动或采用宗教实践相比，个人的宗教信仰和精神信仰因素对物质使用更为重要。
