最近，精神卫生专业人员开始研究宗教信仰和精神在患有各种急性和慢性疾病的个人生活中的潜在价值。本研究探讨了236名从药物滥用中恢复过来的人的宗教信仰，灵性和心理健康结果之间的关系。我们发现，康复中的人倾向于报告高水平的宗教信仰和宗教归属，但选择将自己评为精神上的而不是宗教上的。研究结果还表明，在恢复中的个人，更高水平的宗教信仰和精神与更乐观的生活取向，更大的社会支持，更高的抗压能力，以及更低的焦虑水平。这是迄今为止规模最大的自我报告研究，研究了从药物滥用中恢复的个人之间的宗教信仰，灵性和心理健康结果之间的关系。(C)2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

Recently mental health professionals have begun examining the potential value of religious faith and spirituality in the lives of individuals suffering from a variety of acute and chronic illnesses. This study explored the relation between religious faith, spirituality, and mental health outcomes in 236 individuals recovering from substance abuse. We found that recovering individuals tend to report high levels of religious faith and religious affiliation, but choose to rate themselves as being more spiritual than religious. Results also indicate that among recovering individuals, higher levels of religious faith and spirituality were associated with a more optimistic life orientation, greater perceived social support, higher resilience to stress, and lower levels of anxiety. This represents the largest self-report study to date examining the relation between religious faith, spirituality, and mental health outcomes among individuals recovering from substance abuse.
