The most common type of violence against women is domestic violence so that it is considered as a general health crisis. Resilience is a self-healing method featured with positive emotional outcomes. Religious attitudes are of the probable grounds of development of resilience techniques among women who have been victim of domestic violence. The present study is aimed at determining correlation between religious attitudes and resilience among women with domestic violence. The present study is a descriptive correlative research. Selected Health centers in east and north districts of Tehran affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Data gathering tools were a demographic information questionnaire, Connor-Davidson's Resilience scale, and Serajzadeh's "Muslim Religiosity questionnaire".We used Pearson correlation test to indicate the presence of correlation between resiliency and religious attitudes. Data analyses were performed in SPSS 16. Mean and standard deviation of religious attitudes and resilience among the women with domestic violence were 76.41±9.96, 68.46±15.68 respectively. The results showed that there was correlation between religious attitude and resilience among women who have been subject to domestic violence. (P<0.001, r=0.24). Women under domestic violence had stronger religions attitudes and higher resilience strength. It appears that resilience among women subject to domestic violence and the effective factors on resilience and religious attitudes in particular (given the role of religion in Iranians' lives) deserve special attention.

“…The positive associations between religiosity and coping styles imply that religious beliefs and behaviour help individuals cope more effectively with problematic and challenging situations [18,19,21]. Broadening the existing ambiguous findings on the relationship between religiousness and coping [32], this study suggests that for adults religion may facilitate specific coping styles that use emotional reactions, aim at avoiding stressful situations, and apply religious resources. The strongest relationships were found between the centrality of religiosity and emotion-oriented coping and positive religious coping.…”

“…Examining the psychological effects of religiousness on managing stress, Bryant-Davis & Wong revealed that negative religious and spiritual coping was also associated with increased psychological distress and decreased coping abilities [32]. This ambiguity suggests that the nature of relations between religiousness and coping can depend on the way in which religiousness is conceptualized and measured.…”

SummaryAim. The aim of this study was to investigate whether values and religiosity could be good predictors of non-religious and religious coping styles in early adulthood. Although previous research suggests that values and religiosity might be related to coping styles, the nature of this relationship remains unexplored. Material and method. The study included 209 participants (111 women and 98 men) randomly recruited in southern Poland. Their ages ranged from 20 to 40 years, with a mean age of 28.4 years (SD = 6.44). All participants were asked to fill in four questionnaires: Scheler Values Scale, Centrality of Religiosity Scale, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations and Brief RCOPE Scale. Results. Aesthetic, truth and moral values were positively associated with task-oriented coping, while hedonic and vital values were positively linked to emotion-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping styles. As regards religious coping styles, vital, aesthetic, truth and moral values were positively associated with positive coping. Negative coping was positively related to hedonic values, but negatively related to sacred values. The centrality of religiosity dimensions was positively related to emotion-oriented coping, avoidance-oriented coping, social diversion and positive religious coping. Discussion. Values and religiosity appeared to be predictors of participants' coping styles. The interpretations made on the basis of an individual's religious beliefs and values they hold important help them to better understand the situation and find means of overcoming its negative consequences. Conclusions. Values and religiousness serve as a meaning system that enables individuals to interpret difficult events and effectively cope with distress.

“…To cope with the infant's hospitalization, faith and trust in God seem essential for helping these women to bear the suffering they experience as a result of having an infant at the NICU, a positive religious coping form (Bryant-Davis & Wong, 2013). Among the mothers' coping, the Self-Reliance mediated by religious beliefs stands out.…”

“…In health contexts, religiosity appears as a central aspect of coping and can be related to it in positive or negative ways (Bryant-Davis & Wong, 2013;Pargament, 2011), especially when the child is at risk of death. Religious or spiritual coping strategies are associated with lesser symptoms of grief in mothers whose child died at NICU (Hawthorne, Youngblut, & Brooten, 2016).…”

Abstract:Coping is defined by actions of self-regulation of emotions, cognitions, behaviors, and motivational orientation under stress. This study analyzed the maternal coping with hospitalization of premature and low birth weight infants at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), using the Motivational Theory of Coping. A questionnaire, a scale and an interview were applied to 25 mothers three times between birth and hospital discharge. The results showed that the mothers' first visit to the NICU had strong emotional impact; longer hospitalization periods were linked to the decrease in Delegation coping strategies. There was more Support Seeking after the hospital discharge. Multiparous mothers and those who had a job appeared to be more vulnerable to stress. Predominantly adaptive coping responses were identified, even among two mothers whose babies had died, including Self-Reliance strategies, which were mediated by religious beliefs. Keywords Enfrentamiento Materno de la Hospitalización del Bebé en Unidad de Terapia Intensiva NeonatalResumen: Enfrentamiento son las acciones de autorregulación de la emoción, de la cognición, del comportamiento y de la orientación motivacional en condiciones de estrés. Este estudio analizó el proceso de enfrentamiento materno de la hospitalización de bebés prematuros y con bajo peso internados en Unidad de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). Fueron aplicados un cuestionario, una escala y una entrevista a 25 madres en tres momentos, del nacimiento hasta después del alta hospitalaria. Los resultados mostraron que la primera visita materna a la UTIN tuvo gran impacto emocional. Un mayor número de días de internación se correlacionó con la disminución en la Delegación. Y tras el alta, aumentó la Búsqueda de Soporte. Madres multíparas y que trabajaban fuera de casa presentaron mayor vulnerabilidad al estrés. Predominaron respuestas adaptativas de enfrentamiento, incluso entre las dos madres cuyos bebés fallecieron, con la presencia de estrategias de Autoconfianza, mediadas por creencias religiosas.
