“…The central significance of Allah in life and upon confrontation with illness, is also confirmed by situational qualitative empirical studies among female Muslims who experienced critical illness and suffering (Harandy et al, 2010;Zeilani & Seymour, 2010;Ahmad, Muhammad, & Abdullah, 2011). Zeilani & Seymour (2010) demonstrate that spirituality helped critically ill Jordanian Muslim women to cope with their suffering. Illness was interpreted to be part of God's will and as a test sent by Allah.…”

Muslims arriving as first generation immigrants in Western countries gradually grow old and increasingly appeal to Western healthcare. This study presents and discusses the perspectives of elderly (age ≥55) Muslim women on medicine, illness and suffering. We found that theological considerations, centring around God's almightiness, are central for these Muslim women dealing with illness and suffering in a meaningful way. This study concludes that spirituality is an important dimension of their patient care: it not only makes an impact on these patients' ritual needs (e.g. prayer), but also on the ways they deal with illness, suffering, and concrete medical decision-making. The findings are of particular importance for both Muslim and multi-faith hospital chaplains who might act as spiritual care references in medical teams, by informing physicians and nurses about potential specific sensibilities and perspectives of Muslim patients.

Religious-spiritual coping can be very helpful when dealing with chronic diseases (14). Several studies argued that people under stress often converted their general religious beliefs to specific coping strategies or problem-solving behaviors (22).…”

“…Different pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical methods are applied as pain relief methods. Given that pharmaceutical methods of relieving pain have many side effects and since several studies showed that suffering in patients with chronic pain may disrupt their daily functioning (14), safer methods with less complication should be sought in order to help patients to endure lower levels of pain. In this regard, the present study aimed to answer the following question: Do non-pharmaceutical methods, like the positive and negative religious copings, affect the level of pain in patients with kidney diseases?…”

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a threatening condition for the health, economic and social status of the affected person, his/her family and society. Objective: With regard to the mental and health issues that patients undergoing dialysis encounter, the current study aimed to examine the role of religious coping in perception of suffering among these patients. Methods: The current correlational study had a statistical population including all patients undergoing dialysis referred to Aliibn-Abi-Talib (AS) hospital in Zahedan, Iran, in 2015. The sample included 50 individuals selected using the convenience sampling method. To collect data, the perception of suffering scale and the religious coping scale were used and the obtained data was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis via SPSS. Results:The correlation results showed that religious activities (a dimension of religious coping) and psychological suffering (a dimension of perception of suffering) were significantly and inversely correlated (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results indicated that religious activities (a dimension of religious coping) could predict 0.09 of the variance in psychological pain (a dimension of perception of suffering). Conclusions:The increase in religious and spiritual activities can lead to a decrease in psychological pain among patients undergoing dialysis.
