“…Studies indicate that RS may protect an individual against several adverse mental health outcomes (Lucchetti et al, 2021;Mosqueiro et al, 2021;Vitorino et al, 2018Vitorino et al, , 2023. Regarding substance use and abuse, RS are associated with a lower prevalence of alcohol, smoking, and other drug use in the general population (Giordano et al, 2015;Panati et al, 2020;Rezende-Pinto & Moreira-Almeida, 2023). Similarly, research indicates that RS positively help individuals diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder to achieve and maintain drug use abstinence, reduction, and/or withdrawal (Hai et al, 2019;Medlock et al, 2017).…”

Background: Alcohol and illicit drug use are prevalent among homeless people. Religiosity and spirituality (RS) have been widely associated with lower consumption of substances. However, evidence of this relationship among homeless people is still scarce. Aims: To evaluate the associations between RS and alcohol and illicit drug consumption among homeless people in a large Brazilian urban center. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in São Paulo city, Brazil. Aspects such as spirituality (FACIT-Sp12), religiosity (DUREL), spiritual-religious coping (Brief-RCOPE), and self-report questions concerning the current substance use (alcohol and illicit substances) were evaluated. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the impact of RS beliefs on alcohol and illicit drug consumption. Results: A total of 456 homeless people were included, of an average age of 44.5 ( SD = 12.6) years. More than half of the participants consumed alcohol (55.7%) weekly and 34.2% used illicit drugs weekly. Adjusted logistic regression models identified that aspects of RS were associated with lower likelihood factors for alcohol and illicit drug use; conversely, negative spiritual religious coping (SRC) strategies were associated with a higher likelihood to use both. Conclusion: The prevalence of alcohol and illicit drug use among participants was high. RS and positive SRC were important protective factors for lower consumption of these substances. Conversely, negative SRC strategies were associated with risk factors.

Nurses working in rural acute and community-based settings are often asked for substance use treatment guidance and education in a health care system with minimal treatment services available. Nursing science provides an alternative answer for nurses to lean on in their clinical practice when working with rural-dwelling youth in the midst of substance misuse. Practical strategies are offered, which nurses may integrate into their routine clinical care to strengthen the nurse–patient relationship and enhance positive attributes among youth. Connective caring practice is essential to support rural youth well-being and recovery in the midst of substance misuse. [ Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 62 (6), 7–11.]
