Religion is one of the strategies used to cope with life stressful events, particularly in cancer patients. This study aimed to translate, adapt and validate the 5-item Duke University Religion Index (DUREL) into European Portuguese. This is a cross-sectional study in a sample of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Data were collected in July-October 2018, and the study was approved by the ethics committee of the institution. A sample of 150 participants was included (64.7% female and 35.3% male), aged 35-83 years, and mainly Catholic (86.7%). Participants who were females, older, had lower education and from evangelical religious traditions scored higher on the total score. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.89. Factor analysis revealed a one-factor solution. Convergent validity was achieved between DUREL and BIAC (r = 0.78; p < 0.01). The DUREL European Portuguese version is a valid and reliable tool for measuring religious commitment in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
宗教是应对生活压力事件的策略之一，特别是在癌症患者中。本研究旨在将 5 项杜克大学宗教指数（DUREL）翻译成欧洲葡萄牙语并进行适应性和验证。这是一项针对接受化疗的癌症患者的横断面研究。数据于 2018 年 7 月至 10 月收集，该研究得到了机构伦理委员会的批准。共纳入 150 名参与者（64.7%为女性，35.3%为男性），年龄在 35-83 岁之间，主要为天主教徒（86.7%）。女性、年龄较大、受教育程度较低以及来自福音派宗教传统的参与者，在总分上的得分更高。克朗巴赫 α系数为 0.89。因子分析显示存在单因素解决方案。DUREL 与 BIAC 之间存在相关性（r=0.78;p<0.01）。欧洲葡萄牙语版 DUREL 是一种用于测量接受化疗的癌症患者宗教信仰的有效且可靠的工具。
