The effects of religious coping, the potential moderation of such effects by religious affiliation (i.e., Catholic, Protestant), and the potential mediation of such effects by various factors (i.e., cognitive restructuring, social support, perceived control) were investigated in patients and significant others coping with the stress of kidney transplant surgery. At 3 and 12 months after transplantation, results showed that the use of religious coping was generally associated with better adjustment both concurrently and over time in both patients and significant others. These effects were moderated by religious affiliation, such that religious coping was more effective in promoting adjustment for Protestants than for Catholics. Religious coping was related to adjustment beyond the effects of the proposed mediators. Implications of these results for future research and practice are discussed.
研究了宗教应对方式的影响、宗教归属（即天主教、新教）对此类影响的潜在调节作用，以及各种因素（即认知重构、社会支持、感知控制）对此类影响的潜在中介作用，研究对象为应对肾移植手术压力的患者及其重要他人。在移植后3个月和12个月时，结果显示，宗教应对方式的使用通常与患者及其重要他人在当下和随时间推移的更好适应相关。这些影响受到宗教归属的调节，即宗教应对方式在促进新教徒的适应方面比天主教徒更有效。宗教应对方式与调整之间的关系超出了所提出的中介因素的影响。讨论了这些结果对未来研究和实践的启示。
