目的宗教/灵性（R/S）可能通过多种途径影响癌症幸存者的健康。我们旨在研究一个很少被研究的潜在关键途径：幸存者的 R/S 与其健康行为之间的关系。方法本研究调查了 172 名乳腺癌幸存者的 R/S 的四个核心维度（信念、行为、身份和应对）与三种健康行为（水果/蔬菜消费、体力活动和维持健康体重）之间的联系。 宗教应对与水果和蔬菜摄入量呈正相关，而私人祈祷则呈微弱正相关。礼拜出席率和宗教认同（轻微）都与较少的体力活动有关，而私人祈祷则呈正相关。来世信仰和私人祈祷与 BMI 呈正相关。结论 R/S 与乳腺癌幸存者的健康行为具有复杂但有意义的关联。需要更多的研究来理解这些关系，并确定 R/S 的不同维度是否可以在生活方式改变干预中发挥有用的作用。
ObjectiveReligiousness/spirituality (R/S) may influence cancer survivors' health through multiple pathways. We aimed to examine one potentially key pathway that has seldom been examined: relationships between survivors' R/S and their health behaviors.MethodsThe present study investigated links between four core dimensions of R/S (beliefs, behaviors, identity, and coping) and three health behaviors (fruit/vegetable consumption, physical activity, and maintenance of a healthy weight) in 172 breast cancer survivors.ResultsBoth spiritual identity and use of religious coping were positively related to fruit and vegetable intake, while private prayer was marginally positively related. Both service attendance and religious identity (marginally) were related to engaging in less physical activity, while private prayer was positively related. Afterlife beliefs and private prayer were positively associated with BMI.ConclusionsR/S has complex but meaningful associations with health behaviors in breast cancer survivors. More research is needed to understand these relationships and to determine whether different dimensions of R/S may play useful roles in lifestyle change interventions.
