“…It could also be that the international student-athletes have come to a realization that other athletes from different geographical locations also have some degree of dependence on an object of worship. These athletes are more likely to also cope with competition related-stressors with positive religious activities such as listening to religious songs, praying, reading sacred scriptures (i.e., Bible and Quran), reciting scriptures, and making a sign of the cross, among others [54]. Given that religiosity or spirituality in sport is pervasive in Africa [8,14,55], it is not surprising that international student-athletes employed more positive religious coping strategies to counter their stressors before forthcoming competitive events.…”

In recent times, religiosity and spirituality have been embraced by most athletes as alternative coping mechanism around the world. Although extensive scholarly works on different dimensions of coping exist in sport, only few studies have explored the use of other coping strategies like religious coping. The current study investigated elite student-athletes' religious coping strategies as a function of gender, age and competitive level in the week leading up to competition. This cross-sectional study conveniently recruited a sample of 300 student-athletes competing at the 2018 West Africa University Games (WAUG) in Nigeria. Sociodemographic data (i.e., gender, age category and competitive level) and religious coping using the Brief RCOPE Scale were assessed. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to evaluate the possible effect of gender, age and competitive level on religious coping. Results indicate that no significant interaction effects were realized across all between-subject factors: gender-age-competitive level on religious coping. However, a significant main effect was noted for only participants' competitive level on religious coping, with international students employing more religious coping strategies (both positive and negative) compared to their national and regional counterparts. Sport psychologists, coaches and managers working closely with these athletes could integrate positive religious coping strategies for athletes of different competitive levels as part of an adaptation framework that may independently influence important outcomes such as emotion and cognitive regulation, including their psychological wellbeing.

“…In order for young people to begin to form a system of values, it is necessary to familiarize them with the understanding of physical culture as an integral part of the general culture and develop the idea of a comprehensively and harmoniously formed person [22][23]. In this context, the direction of spiritual growth within the framework of sports began to develop, because sports teachers most often use physical culture and sports only to satisfy and develop the physical activity of schoolchildren and much less often as a means for spiritual education, self-education and development, since they do not always have the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities [24].…”

The analysis of physical education and sport, its social influence upon the society and spiritual development of the individual, is under consideration. Sport is a specific form of activities, and it develops not only the physical condition of the individual but also it contributes to the spiritual development of the personality. The phenomenon of sport spirituality as a process of imbuing of moral and ethical values during sport performing is investigated. The research hypothesis is that during the sport performance schoolchildren can develop their spirituality and sport is can serve as a useful educational tool to develop ethical and moral values. To verify the research hypothesis, the influence of we surveyed to investigate and describe how sport spirituality arises and function in the particular surrounding. The empirical materials are dedicated to the study of the best practices of implementing spiritual development into the sports during school lessons of physical education. The results showed that sport spirituality serves as a useful educational tool to imbue schoolchildren with moral and ethical values and contribute to the spiritual development of the youth.

“…Religion is defined as an organized set of beliefs, practices, and rituals while religiosity is the strength of religious faith. 14 In general, most studies indicate that a higher religiosity is related to a higher ethical reasoning. 15 – 17…”

The relationship amongst ethical position, religiosity and self-identified culture in student nurses

2018

Background/purpose: Research from other disciplines demonstrates that ethical position, idealism, or relativism predicts ethical decision-making. Individuals from diverse cultures ascribe to various religious beliefs and studies have found that religiosity and culture affect ethical decision-making. Moreover, little literature exists regarding undergraduate nursing students’ ethical position; no studies have been conducted in the United States on students’ ethical position, their self-identified culture, and intrinsic religiosity despite an increase in the diversity of nursing students across the United States. Participants and Research Context Objectives: The study’s two aims were to determine the relationship of self-identified culture, religiosity, and ethics position of undergraduate nursing student and whether students’ level of education and past ethics courses taken related to idealism. Two hundred and twelve volunteer undergraduate students participated. Research design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed for participants who completed the Ethical Position Questionnaire, The intrinsic subscale of the Religious Orientation Scale, and a Demographic, Cultural, Ethnicity Form. To test the five hypotheses, analyses included t-tests, correlations, and ANOVA. Ethical Considerations: The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Adelphi University. Results: Idealism and intrinsic religiosity were significantly related. Differences were observed for intrinsic religiosity and idealism for cultural identity and cultural dimensions such as parents’ place of birth, and if participants were US born. Students’ level of education or participation in past courses on ethics did not influence idealism. Conclusions: The study’s findings were similar to most of the research from other disciplines on culture, ethics position, and religiosity. Generic courses on ethics taken prior to clinical work may not assist nursing students in integrating principles into complex ethical dilemmas. Self-identified culture, religion, and intrinsic religiosity related to ethics position; completing ethics courses and level of education, juniors compared with seniors, did not influence idealism. Faculty should consider integrating students’ culture, religious orientation, and ethics position into teaching ethics for all levels of nursing education.
