“…45 Studies reported that people resort to religious coping in pandemics, lifethreatening illnesses and to deal with post-traumatic stress. [46][47][48][49] Health system resilience can be defined as the capacity of health actors, institutions and populations to effectively respond to crises, maintain core functions when a crisis hits and informed by lessons learnt during the crisis, reorganise if conditions require it. 50 In this study, we have elaborated Open access on health workforce resilience, which is an integral part of health system resilience.…”

ObjectivesTo describe the initial dilemmas, mental stress, adaptive measures implemented and how the healthcare team collectively coped while providing healthcare services in a large slum in India, during the COVID-19 pandemic.SettingCommunity Health Division, Bangalore Baptist Hospital, Bangalore.Study designWe used mixed methods research with a quantitative (QUAN) paradigm nested in the primary qualitative (QUAL) design. QUAL methods included ethnography research methods, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.ParticipantsA healthcare team of doctors, nurses, paramedical and support staff. Out of 87 staff, 42 participated in the QUAL methods and 64 participated in the QUAN survey.ResultsBeing cognizant of the extreme vulnerability of the slums, the health team struggled with conflicting thoughts of self-preservation and their moral obligation to the marginalised section of society. Majority (75%) of the staff experienced fear at some point in time. Distracting themselves with hobbies (20.3%) and spending more time with family (39.1%) were cited as a means of emotional regulation by the participants in the QUAN survey. In the QUAL interviews, fear of death, the guilt of disease transmission to their loved ones, anxiety about probable violence and stigma in the slums and exhaustion emerged as the major themes causing stress among healthcare professionals. With positive cognitive reappraisal, the health team collectively designed and implemented adaptive interventions to ensure continuity of care. They dealt with the new demands by positive reframing, peer support, distancing, information seeking, response efficacy, self-efficacy, existential goal pursuit, value adherence and religious coping.ConclusionThe novel threat of the COVID-19 pandemic threw insurmountable challenges potentiating disastrous consequences; slums becoming a threat to themselves, threat to the health providers and a threat for all. Perhaps, a lesson we could learn from this pandemic is to incorporate ‘slum health’ within universal healthcare.

“…Psychology Professor Kenneth I. Pargament's methods, theories and studies have been championing of and providing inspiration for numerous other studies. Religious coping, according to Pargament (1997) is; the efforts to comprehend and deal with life stressors in ways related to the notions of God, divinity, higher powers and also other aspects of life that are associated with the divine (as cited in Fadilpašić et al, 2017). On the other hand, Harold G. Koening (1994) defines religious coping as "the dependence on religious belief or activity to help manage emotional stress or physical discomfort" (as cited in Lager, 2006, p. 33).…”

This research paper focuses on the evaluation of historical connections and interactions between psychology, psychiatry, psychologists, beliefs and religions. The argument of this research is; for developing future perspectives on psychology, religion can possibly provide historical and modern tools, as well as various other contributions. Within the scope of this research paper, the main idea and some other relevant arguments have been developed by evaluating historical facts and scientific analysis presented under the sub-sections of this essay, namely; psychology, beliefs and interdisciplinary connections, nonmaterial beliefs in cultural psychology, science and religion: a synergetic approach is possible, studying psychology and religion, psychology of religion, psychological benefits of religion, interpreting and utilizing new brain sciences of neurotheology and cognitive science. The conclusion briefly summarizes diverse understandings formed through the evaluation of these sub-sections. This research illustrates the coexistence of religious and scientific knowledge using the emergence of modern psychology. On the other hand, some arguments regarding the commercialization of research targets, the transformation of science into neoliberal market discourses leading to some kind of social Darwinism, or regarding some of the influences of some of the sponsors; some of the leaders; some of the foundations; some of the scientism ideologies; and various global agendas are shared to illustrate the necessity to be cautious.

“…Religion can be seen as offering a toolkit-whether effective or not-for individuals to cope with external events and, in some cases, attempt to mitigate or alter those events (Ahrens et al 2010;Chow et al 2021;Fadilpasic, Malec, and Dzubur-Kulenovic 2017;Feder et al 2013;Frei-Landau 2020;Hasan, Mitschke, and Ravi 2018;Henslee et al 2015;Krysinska and Corveleyn 2013;Palgi, Shrira, and Ben-Ezra 2011;Uysal 2019;Zukerman and Korn 2014). While a number of recent studies have examined how different dimensions of religion are associated with variations in individuals' adherence to medically recommended responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, research has not considered the extent to which individuals are using religion itself as a way to respond to the pandemic or the correlates of utilizing such religious responses.…”

Many individuals have engaged in behaviors to cope with and mitigate the COVID‐19 pandemic, including mask wearing and physical distancing. This study considers the extent to which individuals have also engaged in religious behaviors in response to the pandemic and how those responses are associated with behaviors like mask wearing. Using data from a probability survey of U.S. adults, our analysis finds that over half of the respondents have engaged in pandemic‐related prayer and about one‐fifth have taken other religious steps in response to the pandemic, such as reading religious texts or carrying religious items for protection. All else being equal, Republicans are significantly less likely to have undertaken religious steps in response to the pandemic relative to Democrats, suggesting that the politicized nature of the pandemic influences religious responses as well. The analysis also finds that religious responses to the pandemic—especially prayer—are positively associated with mask wearing and physical distancing. These findings suggest that religious responses to the pandemic are not inherently opposed to undertaking responses recommended by scientific and medical authorities.
