Background: The present study aims at investigating the relationship between religious coping behaviors and depression in Iranian patients with cancer. Methods: In this cross sectional study (October to December, 2015), 380 patients with cancer, admitted to the associated university's medical sciences hospitals (Sari, Iran), were entered to the present study, using non-random sampling (accessible sampling). Data were collected by demographic questionnaire, center for epidemiological studies depression scale (CES-D), and religious coping questionnaire (RCOPE). The statistical package for social sciences, version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for data analysis by descriptive and infernal statistic tests (Spearman's correlation and generalized linear models).

“…The second factor is represented by spiritual and religious well-being: in a recent study the QOL spiritual domain of patients with residual schizophrenia explained more than 64% of the variance of overall QOL score (Shah et al, 2011). Current evidence suggests that positive religious coping is predictive of better psychological domain score of QOL (Nolan et al, 2012) and is related to better treatment outcomes (Rosmarin et al, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tQuality of life (QOL) has been considered an important outcome measure in psychiatric research and determinants of QOL have been widely investigated. We aimed at detecting predictors of QOL at baseline and at testing the longitudinal interrelations of the baseline predictors with QOL scores at a 1-year follow-up in a sample of patients living in Residential Facilities (RFs). Logistic regression models were adopted to evaluate the association between WHOQoL-Bref scores and potential determinants of QOL. In addition, all variables significantly associated with QOL domains in the final logistic regression model were included by using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). We included 139 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum. In the final logistic regression model level of activity, social support, age, service satisfaction, spiritual well-being and symptoms' severity were identified as predictors of QOL scores at baseline. Longitudinal analyses carried out by SEM showed that 40% of QOL follow-up variability was explained by QOL at baseline, and significant indirect effects toward QOL at follow-up were found for satisfaction with services and for social support. Rehabilitation plans for people with schizophrenia living in RFs should also consider mediators of change in subjective QOL such as satisfaction with mental health services.

“…Furthermore, a myriad of cross-sectional research suggests that experiences of R/S struggles relate to negative life outcomes (e.g., Abu-Raiya et al 2015;Wilt et al 2017; for reviews, see Exline 2013;Exline and Rose 2005;Wilt et al 2018a). R/S struggles have been linked to greater depression (for a review, see Ano and Vasconcelles 2005), anxiety (e.g., McConnell et al 2006), and suicidal ideation (e.g., Exline et al 2000;Rosmarin et al 2013). Longitudinal studies have also linked R/S struggles to increased depressive symptoms (Park et al 2009;Pirutinsky et al 2011), poorer physical health (Fitchett et al 1999;Trevino et al 2010), and even increased mortality rates among elderly patients (Pargament et al 2001).…”

Religious and spiritual struggles (R/S struggles)-tension or conflicts regarding religious or spiritual matters-have been robustly linked to greater psychological distress and lower well-being. Most research in this area has relied on samples consisting predominantly of participants who believe in god(s). Limited research has examined R/S struggles among atheists, generally conflating them with agnostics and other nontheists. This study investigated the prevalence of R/S struggles among atheists and compared atheists to theists in two samples (3978 undergraduates, 1048 Internet workers).Results of a multilevel model showed that atheists experience less demonic, doubt, divine, moral, and overall R/S struggles than theists, but similar levels of interpersonal and ultimate meaning struggles. Correlation and regression analyses among atheists demonstrated links between moral, ultimate meaning, and overall R/S struggles and greater distress (depression and anxiety symptoms) as well as lower well-being (life satisfaction and meaning in life). Even after controlling neuroticism, ultimate meaning struggles continued to predict lower well-being and higher distress across samples; moral struggles also predicted distress independently. This study demonstrates the relevance of R/S struggles to atheists and reinforces the applicability of previous results to atheist samples, but also highlights substantial differences between atheists and theists in certain R/S struggles.
