In order to assess the religious beliefs and practices of psychiatric patients, a self-report questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire was administered to 73 psychiatric patients and 25 non-psychiatric controls. Older age, membership of an ethnic minority and the presence of psychiatric disorder were all significantly associated with higher scores on the questionnaire. Psychotic subjects obtained the highest scores whilst those of depressed and parasuicide subjects were intermediate between those of the control and the psychotic groups. These results emphasise the importance of religion for many patients with common psychiatric problems. Specialist religious help may be of value in the management of such problems.
为了评估精神病患者的宗教信仰和宗教活动，设计了一份自我报告问卷。该问卷被用于73名精神病患者和25名非精神病对照者。年龄较大、属于少数族裔以及患有精神疾病均与问卷得分较高显著相关。精神病患者得分最高，而抑郁患者和准自杀患者的得分介于对照组和精神病组之间。这些结果强调了宗教对许多患有常见精神疾病的患者的重要性。专业的宗教帮助可能对这类问题的处理有价值。
