This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of religious coping and explore the association between religious coping, religiosity, and distress symptoms amongst 364 outpatients diagnosed with psychosis in Singapore. Positive and Negative Religious Coping (PRC and NRC), religiosity (measuring the constructs of Organised Religious Activity (ORA), Non-Organised Religious Activity (NORA), and Intrinsic Religiosity (IR)) and severity of distress symptoms (depression, anxiety and stress) were self-reported by the participants. The majority of participants (68.9%) reported religion to be important in coping with their illness. Additionally, multiple linear regression analyses found that NRC was significantly associated with higher symptoms of distress. In contrast, ORA was significantly associated with lower anxiety symptom scores. Overall, the study indicates the importance of religion in coping with psychosis and the potential value in incorporating religious interventions in mental health care.
本研究旨在调查宗教应对的流行情况，并探讨宗教应对、宗教信仰与新加坡 364 名精神病门诊患者的困扰症状之间的关联。积极和消极宗教应对（PRC 和 NRC）、宗教信仰（衡量有组织宗教活动（ORA）、无组织宗教活动（NORA）和内在宗教信仰（IR）的结构）以及困扰症状的严重程度（抑郁、焦虑和压力）由参与者自我报告。大多数参与者（68.9%）报告宗教在应对疾病方面很重要。此外，多元线性回归分析发现，NRC 与较高的困扰症状显著相关。相比之下，ORA 与较低的焦虑症状评分显著相关。总的来说，该研究表明宗教在应对精神疾病方面的重要性，以及在精神卫生保健中纳入宗教干预措施的潜在价值。
