“…This view was also reported by Ahern and Norris 30 . However, a more comprehensive study by Ahlers, Mezulis and Hudson found that religion was only a buffer to stress in individuals with high religious commitment, which may perhaps only be relevant to the participants attended religious activities very frequently 56 .…”

At the University of the Witwatersrand, occupational therapy undergraduate students perceived their programme to be more stressful than similar health science education programmes, resulting in students experiencing mental health issues. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of resilience and stress and health behaviours of students registered in the undergraduate Occupational Therapy programme. A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional on-line survey design was used, replicating an American study of nursing students by Ahern. Permission was obtained from Ahern to use the same battery of data collection tools: demographic questionnaire, the resiliency scale; the perceived stress visual analogue scale and the health behaviours questionnaire. Once ethical clearance was obtained, the data collection battery plus an information sheet was mailed electronically to 205 students. The three questionnaires were scored as prescribed and all other data were analysed descriptively. The Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA was used to test the significant difference between the variables and Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient to determine associations between the questionnaires as well as the subtests. One hundred and seventeen questionnaires were analysed. Results indicated high stress levels within this cohort, with the major stressor being academic. Most students reported a medium level of resilience and the health behaviour questionnaire revealed a low risk. There was no significant difference between the different years and the only variables found to have a significant association was stress over the year increasing risk-taking behaviours. It was concluded that all students could benefit from some resilience training. Those who lived away from home and had poor social support were the most vulnerable.

“…However, the nature of the religious coping utilized appears to influence response to trauma. In a longitudinal examination of Chilean adults who experienced a recent stressful event, including but not limited to natural disasters, positive religious coping was related to posttraumatic symptoms whereas negative religious coping was related to posttraumatic growth (García et al, 2017). Baral and Bhagawati (2019) discovered that individuals who developed PTSD after an earthquake in Nepal were more likely to utilize passive coping, religious coping, and substance use coping; whereas, those who did not develop PTSD engaged in more active and self-distraction coping.…”

Much research related to individual coping following human-made and natural disasters suggests religious and spiritual coping is associated with positive outcomes (Aten et al., 2019). The presentation of this positive relationship may erroneously infer that nonreligious individuals' outcomes are negatively impacted by the absence of religious coping. Rather, studies of psychological well-being suggest a curvilinear relationship between (non)religiosity and well-being, such that low, as compared to high, levels of identification with a religious or nonreligious identity are associated with lower well-being (Galen & Kloet, 2011). Studies of the relationship between religiosity and mental health, including in the context of disaster, often exclude participation of nonreligious individuals through omission (Hwang et al., 2011) or utilize measures of religiousness that fail to capture nonreligious people (e.g., atheists, agnostics, religious nones; Cragun et al., 2015). Thus, studies of coping with natural disasters that are inclusive of a wide range of (non)religious orientations and examine differences, if any, among people of varying levels of reli-giousness and spirituality, are needed, a problem the current investigation sought to address. Of note, the terms (non)religious and (non)spiritual are used throughout the manuscript to refer to the full spectrum of systems of belief and nonbelief, ranging from atheism to high religiosity, whereas nonreligious/nonspiritual are used to refer to people without a religious and/or spiritual orientation. Natural Disasters and Trauma Natural disasters are sudden, potentially traumatic, often weather-related events (e.g. tornados, hurricanes) that generally occur locally but require national or international assistance due to the far-reaching impact of the resulting destruction (Kilmer et al., 2019). Much scholarship has focused on the psychological impact of natural disasters and the established link between exposure to disasters and the development of mental health problems, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Goldmann & Galea, 2014). However, a wide range in the prevalence of PTSD rates (i.e., 3% to 60%) after a natural disaster suggests that factors other than mere exposure to the traumatic aspects of a disaster determine whether mental health problems develop (Neria et al., 2008). Many such factors have been identified, including peri-traumatic distress, disruption distress, social support, and coping strategies (Baral & Bhagawati, 2019; McGuire et al., 2018).

Religijne sposoby radzenia sobie a stres i wypalenie zawodowe u nauczycieli religii

Zawód nauczyciela jest w dużym stopniu narażony na stres i wypalenie. Według modelu wymagania–zasoby narażeni na wypalenie są szczególnie ci pracownicy, którzy dysponując niskimi zasobami, znajdują się w sytuacji wysokich wymagań. Przedmiotem badań był związek między trzema zmiennymi: religijnymi sposobami radzenia sobie (Brief RCOPE), traktowanymi jako zasoby osobowe, stresem (SSN), wyrażającym wymagania w pracy, i wypaleniem zawodowym (MBI). Badaniami objęto 419 nauczycieli religii. Stwierdzono, że negatywne strategie zaradcze korelują dodatnio z każdym wymiarem wypalenia, pozytywne strategie zaradcze natomiast korelują z wypaleniem ujemnie. Ponadto pozytywne religijne radzenie sobie moderuje relację między stresem a wypaleniem zawodowym w taki sposób, że dodatnia relacja między stresem a wypaleniem jest słabsza, przy większym nasileniu pozytywnych strategii zaradczych.
