Coping strategies are essential for the outcome of chronic pain. This study evaluated religiosity in a cohort of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), its effect on pain and other symptoms, on coping and FMS-related disability. A total of 102 FMS patients were recruited who filled in questionnaires, a subgroup of 42 patients participated in a face-to-face interview, and data were evaluated by correlation and regression analyses. Few patients were traditionally religious, but the majority believed in a higher existence and described their spirituality as "transcendence conviction". The coping strategy "praying-hoping" and the ASP dimension "religious orientation" (r = 0.5, P < 0.05) showed a significant relationship independent of the grade of religiosity (P < 0.05). A high grade of belief in a higher existence was negatively associated with the choice of ignoring as coping strategy (r = - 0.4, P < 0.05). Mood and affect-related variables had the highest impact on disability (b = 0.5, P < 0.05). In this cohort, the grade of religiosity played a role in the choice of coping strategies, but had no effects on health and mood outcome.
应对策略对慢性疼痛的结果至关重要。本研究评估了纤维肌痛综合征 (FMS) 患者队列中的宗教信仰，其对疼痛和其他症状、应对方式以及与 FMS 相关的残疾的影响。共招募了 102 名 FMS 患者填写问卷，其中 42 名患者参加了面对面访谈，通过相关性和回归分析评估数据。很少有患者有传统的宗教信仰，但大多数人相信更高的存在，并将他们的灵性描述为“超越信念”。应对策略“祈祷-希望”和 ASP 维度“宗教取向”（r=0.5，P<0.05）与宗教信仰程度独立相关（P<0.05）。对更高存在的高度信仰与选择忽视作为应对策略呈负相关（r=-0.4，P<0.05）。情绪和情感相关变量对残疾的影响最大（b=0.5，P<0.05）。在该队列中，宗教信仰程度在应对策略的选择中起作用，但对健康和情绪结果没有影响。
