Religious coping can be seen as a method which applies religious resources, including prayer, and trust and appeals to God, in order to deal with stressful situations.
To gain insight into the associations between religious coping styles and mental health and to investigate whether the use of the coping styles differs between mental health care clients and non-mental health care clients with a Christian background.
The sample consisted of 655 Dutch participants with a Christian worldview, aged 18 to 79 years (M = 42.6, SD = 14.2). 60.9% were female and 49.5% higher educated. Intra- and extramural clients in mental health care were involved. A cross-sectional, online survey was used, combined with an available client database.
More use of the collaborative coping style was associated with less psychological complaints. More use of the (passive-)deferring and selfdirecting coping styles was associated with more psychological complaints. Christian mental health care clients used the collaborative and the deferring coping styles less often compared to Christian non-clients.
The collaborative religious coping style is positively associated with mental health. Mental health care clients amongst them use this style less often compared to non-clients. Awareness of religious coping styles and appropriate support are indicated.
宗教应对可被视为一种运用宗教资源（包括祈祷、对上帝的信任和诉求）来应对压力情境的方法。
深入了解宗教应对方式与心理健康之间的关联，并调查心理健康护理服务对象与有基督教背景的非心理健康护理服务对象在应对方式的使用上是否存在差异。
样本包括655名具有基督教世界观的荷兰参与者，年龄在18至79岁之间（均值 = 42.6，标准差 = 14.2）。60.9%为女性，49.5%受过高等教育。涉及心理健康护理的机构内和机构外服务对象。采用横断面在线调查，并结合现有的服务对象数据库。
更多地使用协作应对方式与较少的心理困扰相关。更多地使用（被动 - ）顺服和自我导向应对方式与更多的心理困扰相关。与基督教非服务对象相比，基督教心理健康护理服务对象较少使用协作和顺服应对方式。
协作性宗教应对方式与心理健康呈正相关。其中，心理健康护理服务对象与非服务对象相比，较少使用这种方式。需要关注宗教应对方式并给予适当支持。
