“…Non-significant associations were found in a variety of populations: adults undergoing cardiac surgery [28], African American women reporting a history of partner violence [29], Jewish and Christian clergy [39], older adults in residential care [33], students attending private Catholic middle schools [36], and undergraduates at a private Catholic university [40]. A significant positive association between PRC and NRC was found in only a handful of studies using the following populations: Christian undergraduates at an urban university (r = 0.25) [41], a community sample of U.K. adults (r = 0.60) [27], caregivers of terminally ill cancer patients (r = 0.20) [32], and advanced cancer patients (for high PRC predicting use of NRC: OR = 3.61) [22].…”

“…The Brief RCOPE has demonstrated good internal consistency in a number of studies across widely differing samples that included patients undergoing cardiac surgery [28], African American women with a history of partner violence [29], cancer patients [30,31], caregivers for cancer patients [32], a community sample of U.K. adults [27], older adults in residential care [33], outpatients with alcohol use disorders [34], HIV patients [35], Catholic middle school students [36], and a sample of residents in Massachusetts and New York City following 9/11 [37]. The median alpha for the PRC scale was 0.92.…”

“…NRC at baseline was unrelated to improvement or deterioration in quality of life from baseline to follow-up. In the second study, Ai, Seymour, Tice, Kronfol, and Bolling [28] measured PRC and NRC in a sample of 235 adults about to undergo cardiac surgery. They found that PRC prior to surgery did not significantly predict hostility and IL-6 (a biomedical indicator of poor post-surgical adjustment) 1 month post-surgery, but NRC prior to surgery was significantly positively correlated with hostility (r = 0.33) and IL-6 (0.21) one month post-surgery.…”

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.

“…Finally, the 7-item negative religious coping (NRC) subscale of the brief RCOPE [32] was administered (score range 0 -21) to assess religious struggles that caregivers might experience. This measure predicts an increased risk of mortality [33] and has been associated with higher pro-inflammatory cytokine levels [34].…”

“…Such studies included patients undergoing cardiac surgery (Ai et al 2009), cancer patients (Cole 2005;Sherman et al 2005); caregivers for cancer patients (Pearce et al 2006), outpatients with alcohol use disorders (Piderman et al 2007), HIV patients (Tsevat et al 2009). These promising results and the relevance to have a shorter scale to measure spiritual religious coping encouraged us to validate the Brief RCOPE to be used in the Brazilian context.…”

Brazilian Validation of the Brief Scale for Spiritual/Religious Coping—SRCOPE-14

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The concept of spiritual-religious coping gained attention in Brazil with the adaptation and validation of the RCOPE Scale (Panzini 2004; long version: 87 items and brief version: 49 items). The Brief RCOPE still contains a large number of items, so attempts to further reduce the size of the measure are relevant. This study presents the validation process of the Brief SRCOPE scale (14 items) for use in the Brazilian context. Data were collected from the general population (N = 525) and subjected to exploratory factor analysis (EFA; n = 249) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 276). The EFA resulted in a two-factor solution: Positive Religious Coping (PRC) and Negative Religious Coping (NRC). All 14 items of the original scale were retained and correlated with the same factor as the original scale (KMO = 0.852; 58.15% of total variance explained; PRC Cronbach's alpha = 0.884 and NRC Cronbach's alpha = 0.845). The model tested through CFA showed adequate adjustment indices (χ 2 = 146.809, DF = 70, χ 2 /DF = 2.097, NFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.962, GFI = 0.930, AGFI = 0.895, RMSEA = 0.063, PCLOSE = 0.065 and SRMR = 0.0735). The Brief SRCOPE Scale-14 has shown reliability for the studied sample and might be applicable to other contexts. It may ultimately prove useful to professionals and researchers interested in better knowing how people make use of religious coping to face stress and suffering.
