“…NRC was significantly positively correlated with anxiety (r = 0.32), depression (0.43), and hostility (0.34), but not with intrinsic, extrinsic-social, or extrinsicpersonal religious orientations. Another study focused on the relationship between depression and a ten-item version of the Brief RCOPE among native Dutch, Moroccans, Turks, and Surinamese immigrants living in Amsterdam [54]. The results supported the validity of the PRC subscale, but not the NRC because the alpha for the NRC was so low.…”

The Brief RCOPE: Current Psychometric Status of a Short Measure of Religious Coping

2011

Abstract:The Brief RCOPE is a 14-item measure of religious coping with major life stressors. As the most commonly used measure of religious coping in the literature, it has helped contribute to the growth of knowledge about the roles religion serves in the process of dealing with crisis, trauma, and transition. This paper reports on the development of the Brief RCOPE and its psychometric status. The scale developed out of Pargament's (1997) program of theory and research on religious coping. The items themselves were generated through interviews with people experiencing major life stressors. Two overarching forms of religious coping, positive and negative, were articulated through factor analysis of the full RCOPE. Positive religious coping methods reflect a secure relationship with a transcendent force, a sense of spiritual connectedness with others, and a benevolent world view. Negative religious coping methods reflect underlying spiritual tensions and struggles within oneself, with others, and with the divine. Empirical studies document the internal consistency of the positive and negative subscales of the Brief RCOPE. Moreover, empirical studies provide support for the construct validity, predictive validity, and incremental validity of the subscales. The Negative Religious Coping subscale, in particular, has emerged as a robust predictor of health-related outcomes. Initial evidence suggests that the Brief RCOPE may be useful as an evaluative tool that is sensitive to the effects of psychological interventions. In short, the Brief RCOPE has demonstrated its utility as an instrument for research and practice in the psychology of religion and spirituality.

“…The vast majority examined a representative population-based sample focusing on the prevalence of depression. With regard to the relationship between R/S and depression, five studies reported mixed results [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], whereas the other 13 papers found a positive relationship between R/S and depression (i.e., less depression among those who were more R/S). All 18 studies reported at least one positive finding, none found no association or only a negative association.…”

“…Research of the relationship between R/S and depression is the most developed. Eleven of the 19 studies examined a geriatric sample [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], four papers focused on adolescents [45][46][47][48], and four studies examined adults [49][50][51][52]. Four focused on depression in the medically ill [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], two on religious coping [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52], two had only female participants [34][35][36]…”

“…The last two studies focus on the depression in an adult population. Braam et al [52] found that daily prayer and weekly religious attendance were negatively associated with depressive symptoms. Maselko et al [50] reported that religious service attendance was associated with 30% lower odds of depression in the New England Family Study cohort (mean age=39 years).…”

Objective: The impact of religious/spiritual activities on clinical outcomes in patients with serious mental illnesses remains controversial, which was addressed in this international cross-sectional study. Method:The literature was searched using the electronic database of Pubmed. To identify the highest quality papers, we selected publications in psychiatric journals ranked in the top 25% by the ISI citation index 2010, i.e. the top 32 journals out of 126 listed, all with an impact factor of 3.6 or higher. The published original studies were then discussed and rated for the quality of their design, measures, and statistical methods. Results:1% if the studies find a positive relationship between R/S and better mental health, 18.6% find mixed (positive and negative) results, and 4.7% reported a negative association. All studies on dementia, suicide and stressrelated disorders found a positive association, as well as 79% and 67% of the papers on depression and substance abuse, respectively Conclusion: There is growing evidence today that R/S is correlated with better mental health in the areas of depression, substance abuse, and suicide; insufficient evidence in neurosis and dementia; poor evidence in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and no evidence in many other mental disorders.

Objective: Religiosity and/or spirituality (R/S) has a deep impact on human psyche. This review describes the evidence on R/S on mental health. 72.1% if the studies find a positive relationship between R/S and better mental health, 18.6% find mixed (positive and negative) results, and 4.7% reported a negative association. All studies on dementia, suicide and stress-related disorders found a positive association, as well as 79% and 67% of the papers on depression and substance abuse, respectively. There is growing evidence today that R/S is correlated with better mental health in the areas of depression, substance abuse, and suicide; insufficient evidence in neurosis and dementia; poor evidence in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and no evidence in many other mental disorders.
