“…When dealing with healthy religious development, the proportion of internalized religious beliefs increases along with the development of an authentic personality. This leads to the integration of religion in the person's life and vice versa [16]. The likelihood of a positive transmission of the parents´ religion to their children increases when the parents are actively religious [17,18] and when parents agree on the subject of religion.…”

“…At the same time, however, the role and identity of pastoral caregivers differ from one healthcare context to another. In some contexts, like those in the USA and Europe, creating a space for pastoral care in the hospital context is currently an urgent debate (De Vries-Schot et al 2008). Such debates centre on issues that pertain to the inclusion of pastoral caregivers in the interdisciplinary medical team for the purpose of collaboration and consultation (McClung et al 2006;VandeCreek 2010).…”

Development is concerned with the transformation of people to foster their health, wholeness and growth. The link between health and development points to religion as potential social capital for development. There is an ongoing debate about the role of pastoral care as a religious resource in global healthcare contexts. This is unfortunately not the case in Africa, as pastoral care has not received sufficient attention for its role in healthcare and development in development discourses. The limited research on pastoral care in healthcare contexts in Africa has implications for African healthcare systems, pastoral care and the delivery of an effective, holistic and quality healthcare service. Taking as its point of departure a thesis about the potential of religion as a social capital resource for development, the article argues for pastoral care as a viable religious resource for healthcare and development. Osmer’s theological task of good practice is employed as an interdisciplinary engagement in dialogue with selective perspectives in the disciplines of development and health and social sciences for appropriate analysis.

This inventory was based on a review of scientific literature, both from a psychiatric/psychological perspective and a theological perspective.…”

In order to validate a new questionnaire, the Mature Religiosity Scale (MRS), it was presented to a sample of 336 persons, of which 171 were parishioners and 165 outpatients of Christian mental health clinics. A first version of this questionnaire was designed by studying both psychiatric/psychological and theological literature. Validity and reliability were studied by including other questionnaires, among them the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), the Duke Religion Index, the Religious/Spiritual Coping (RCoPE) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The results indicate that 16 items of the 19-item questionnaire make up one factor with good internal consistency, which is measured by Cronbach's alpha. This factor was used as the Mature Religiosity Scale in this study. out of correlations with other validated scales and correlations with characteristics of known groups this scale proved to have good validity. The Mature Religiosity Scale is suitable for use in both mental healthcare and pastoral care. It is designed and validated for these two groups, giving direction to professional communication about faith and meaning of life.Keywords: Mature Religiosity Scale, mature religiosity, spiritual well-being, construction of a questionnaire, validity, reliability, healthcare, pastoral care
