“…A Tabela 4 sintetiza os resultados do presente estudo, comparando-os aos encontrados por Taunay et al 6 , Lucchetti et al 30 e Martinez et al 31 . Observa-se que, assim como nesses estudos de validação disponíveis na literatura, o presente estudo também exibe satisfatória capacidade psicométrica para o P-DUREL, quando aplicado a uma população de usuários de serviços de atenção primária.…”

“…Explicações para a associação negativa entre escolaridade e RI podem ser bastante complexas, envolvendo a hipótese de que pessoas com maior nível educacional são mais resistentes a dogmas religiosos e tendem a possuir um pensamento mais analítico e menos intuitivo, como sustentado por Zuckerman et al 51 , ou que o uso de práticas religiosas para o enfrentamento de problemas e conflitos é mais frequente em pessoas de menor escolaridade, conforme sugerido por Seidl et al 52 . A ausência de efeitos chão e teto substanciais para as dimensões RO e RNO e a presença de um efeito teto substancial para a dimensão RI é também evidenciada no estudo de Lucchetti 31 . O efeito chão substancial observado para as três dimensões do P-DUREL, quando considerados os indivíduos ateus, e para as dimensões RO e RNO, quando considerados os indivíduos que acreditam em Deus sem possuir afiliação religiosa, é esperado, assim como o efeito teto observado para evangélicos e Testemunhas de Jeová, também considerando todas as dimensões.…”

“…Alguns subsequentes estudos mostraram que o instrumento possui satisfatórias propriedades psicométricas quando aplicado a pacientes oncoló-gicos 27 e estudantes universitários 28 . O DUREL foi traduzido em língua portuguesa por Moreira-Almeida et al 29 , sendo essa versão chamada P-DUREL, e suas propriedades psicométricas foram então estudadas por Taunay et al 6 , Lucchetti et al 30 e Martinez et al 31 Na versão em português, o primeiro item do instrumento pergunta: "Com que frequência você vai a uma igreja, templo ou outro encontro religioso? ", sendo as possíveis respostas oferecidas em uma escala de seis pontos, de "Mais do que uma vez por semana" a "Nunca".…”

Cad. Saúde Colet., 2014, Rio de Janeiro, 22 (4): 419-27 Resumo A religiosidade é uma variável importante para a pesquisa em saúde, considerando suas conhecidas associações com o processo saúde-doença e questões importantes sobre o bem-estar, atitudes, práticas e satisfação em relação a cuidados e serviços. No entanto, na pesquisa em Saúde Coletiva, é frequentemente usada a afiliação religiosa como única dimensão da religiosidade. O presente estudo objetivou investigar a adequação do uso do instrumento Duke Religious Index (DUREL) no âmbito da pesquisa em Saúde Coletiva, ao avaliar as capacidades psicométricas do instrumento quando aplicado a uma população representativa de usuários dos serviços de atenção primária à saúde de um município de porte médio do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Foi encontrada uma adequada consistência interna para o instrumento e validade convergente-discriminante. Os resultados sugerem que o uso do DUREL não é restrito à pesquisa em saúde mental e que sua utilização pode trazer novas perspectivas para o entendimento de eventos de interesse na área da Saúde Coletiva.Palavras-chave: religião e medicina; questionários; estudos de validação. AbstractReligiosity is an important variable in health research, given its known association with the health-disease process and important questions about the well-being, attitudes, practices and satisfaction with care and services. However, in the research in Public Health, it is often used religious affiliation as the only dimension of religiosity. This study aims to investigate the appropriateness of using the Duke Religious Index scale (DUREL) in the context of the Public Health research, evaluating the psychometric capabilities of the instrument when applied to a representative sample of users of primary care services to health in a medium-sized city of the interior of São Paulo State, Southeast Brazil. It was found an adequate internal consistency for the instrument and satisfactory convergent-discriminant validity. The results suggest that the use of DUREL is not restricted to research in mental health, and that its use can bring new perspectives for the understanding of events of interest in the field of Public Health.

“…In turn, the Duke Religiosity Scale (DUREL) has been adapted and validated [8]and has good reliability measures with Cronbach's alpha of 0.88; and Spearman correlation coefficients between the domains of organizational (OR) and non-organizational (NOR) religiosity [9].…”

Objective: Describe the level of hope and religiosity of patients with chronic renal disease through the Herth Hope Scale and Duke Religiosity Scale and analyze how they correlate.Method: Exploratory, cross-sectional study conducted with 62 patients. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between the scales.Results: Hope obtained a mean score of 39 points and intrinsic religiosity, 13.14. Among the scales, statistically significant correlation was found between the items "optimism" with attendance to the religious temple (p = 0.016), beliefs and my way of living (p = 0.008) and effort to live up to the religion (p =0.008); "strength" with effort to live up to the religion (p = 0.043); "ability to give and receive affection" with attendance to the religious temple (0.050), my religious beliefs are what really lie behind my whole approach to life (p = 0.014) and I try hard to carry my religion over into my life (p = 0.032).

Carvalho AF, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2012;39(6):208 Brazil is a country of continental dimensions and its plural cultural matrix reflects on diverse religious practices. In fact, a population survey indicates that more than 80% of Brazilian people attribute an important meaning for religion 2 . Most studies clearly indicate that religiousness has an independent protector effect for physical and mental health 3 . The last two decades mark an explosion in studies addressing the relationships between religiousness and mental health 4 . Nevertheless, there is a predominance of investigations derived from North American samples (mainly Protestant) 5 . In Brazil, the study of the influence of religiousness on mental health is still in its infancy.Noteworthy, advances in this research field had been challenged by criticisms toward the scientific rigor and the actual validity of measuring religiousness 3 . Critics have argued that there is an extrapolation in the conclusion of many studies, where the protector effect of an aspect of religiousness are sometimes interpreted to mean the religion "in general" is positive 3 . The measurement of religiousness in health is a relatively recent scientific achievement which dates to pioneering investigations in the post-war 5,6 . King and Hunt early found that religiousness in a multidimensional construct 6 . Currently, there are over 100 instruments available to tap different religiousness dimension 3 . However, few instruments are validated for use in Brazilian samples. Lucchetti et al. developed the Duke Religiousness Index (DUREL), which is a brief instrument which measures three religiousness facets, namely: organizational religiousness (OR), non-organizational religiousness (NOR) and intrinsic religiousness (IR) 7 . The Brazilian Portuguese version of the DUREL (P-DUREL) was initially validated by Lucchetti et al. in a low-income community sample 7 . In this study, the P-DUREL had adequate internal consistency as well as convergent-discriminant validity. Posteriorly, our research group extended these observations and found adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability and convergent-discriminant validity in a two different samples (i.e., university students and psychiatric outpatients) 8 . The study by Martinez et al. 1 . validated the P-DUREL in a sample of postgraduate students. These authors found psychometric properties similar to the study by Taunay et al. Altogether, these three validation studies provide support for the use of the P-DUREL for the study of religiousness in our milieu.Despite these initial efforts, there is a need for new advances in this research field. There is just another validated instrument for the study of religiousness in Brazilian sample, namely the Intrinsic Religiousness Inventory (IRI) 9 . There are other validated instruments which measure related constructs, such as the Spiritual Well-Being Scale 10 and the Religious-Spiritual Coping scale 11 . Future studies should determine the psychometric properties of the P-DUREL in disti...
