“…De vragen van het vragenschema van de diepte-interviews zijn gebaseerd op theorieën en onderzoek over stress en coping van Lazarus & Folkman (1984) en Lazarus (2000); onderzoek naar religieuze coping door Pargament (1997), Pargament, Koenig & Perez (2000) en Van Uden, Pieper, Van Eersel, Smeets & Van Laarhoven (2009) en onderzoek naar bidden door Janssen, De Hart, & Den Draak (1990), Bänziger (2007), Levine (2008) en Spilka & Ladd (2013). De thema's die bij deze interviews centraal stonden zijn: sociale kenmerken, waaronder de migratiegeschiedenis van de familie; identiteitskenmerken, waaronder doelen, zelfbeeld en belangrijke anderen; de kenmerken van religiositeit, waaronder socialisatie en godsbeeld; de kenmerken van het bidgedrag; de kenmerken van de probleemvelden en de kenmerken van religieuze en niet-religieuze coping en het effect hiervan.…”

This paper is about religious coping of young Dutch highly educated Muslim women from Moroccan families in their adaptation to Dutch highly secular society. We found in our qualitative research that these young women are confronted with all kinds of problems at home and in Dutch society. They adapt to Dutch values, norms and behaviour. Many of them are very successful in their careers. These young Dutch Muslim women are better able to cope with tensions that are triggered by cultural contradictions, social control, discrimination and racism in Dutch society when they use religious coping strategies. They find peace in positive religious reframing, seeking comfort from Allah, praying, listening to recitation of Koran, and the support of fellow believers. By using religious coping they transform their negative stigma and protect their self-esteem. So the effect of religious coping is that they feel personally better. This gives them strength but also confronts them with social control of fellow believers. This makes it less easy for them to express a deviant religious opinion and to follow their own personal religious choices.

This article is an empirical study of the attitudes of spiritual caregivers in health care institutions in the Netherlands towards identity and the goals of their profession. Identity can be classifĳied into a personal aspect (defĳinition of oneself in general) and a worldview aspect (attitudes towards life). A distinction is made between an immediate professional goal (communication on worldviews) and an ultimate goal (contribution to spiritual health). We examine the efffects of beliefs about identity on professional goals while controlling for relevant population and institutional characteristics. Orientation to the immediate and ultimate goals of spiritual care is influenced mainly by personal identity attitudes and attitudes towards sufffering. The relation between identity and its relevance to patients' health (the ultimate goal of spiritual care) needs further research.

Religious Coping and Depressive Symptoms among Religious Belgian Hospitalized Patients: The Mediating Role of Hope

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research on the pathways through which positive/negative religious coping (PRC/NRC) styles work, is sparse. This cross-sectional study examined hope as a mediating pathway in the association between PRC/NRC and depressive symptoms in 155 hospital inpatients in Belgium that self-reported to be religious (mostly Catholic, Christian or religious without affiliation to a religious institute). Patients relying more on NRC tend to have more depressive symptoms through the mechanism of hope. Interestingly, the direct relationship found between NRC and depressive symptoms points to the likelihood of an omitted mediator requiring further research. Patients more often using PRC tend to have fewer depressive symptoms through the mechanism of hope. No direct relationship between PRC and depressive symptoms was found.
