本研究探讨了传统宗教信仰以及在宗教和世俗（例如自然主义、道德主义）背景下体验敬畏对接受心脏直视手术的中老年患者术后住院时间的影响。尊敬被广泛地定义为“对神圣事物表示深深的尊重、爱和敬畏的感觉或态度”。在手术前 2 周左右，通过个人访谈从 400 多名患者（年龄 62 ± 12 岁）收集了有关人口统计、信仰因素、心理健康和医疗合并症的信息。标准化医疗指数是从胸外科医师协会的国家数据库中检索的。分层多元回归表明，在控制了关键人口统计数据、医疗指标、抑郁症和心理社会保护因素后，世俗背景下的崇敬预示着住院时间的缩短。其他住院时间预测因素包括女性、年龄较大、合并症较多、左心室射血分数低、灌注时间长和冠状动脉搭桥手术。世俗的崇敬对身体健康有保护作用。
This study explored the role of both traditional religiousness and of experiencing reverence in religious and secular (e.g., naturalistic, moralistic) contexts in postoperative hospital length of stay among middle-aged and older patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Reverence was broadly defined as “feeling or attitude of deep respect, love, and awe, as for something sacred.” Information on demographics, faith factors, mental health, and medical comorbidities was collected from 400 + patients (age 62 ± 12) around 2 weeks before surgery via personal interview. Standardized medical indices were retrieved from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ national database. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that reverence in secular contexts predicted shorter hospitalization, after controlling for key demographics, medical indices, depression, and psychosocial protectors. Other hospital length of stay predictors included female gender, older age, more medical comorbidities, low left ventricular ejection fraction, long perfusion time, and coronary bypass graft surgery. Secular reverence exerts a protective impact on physical health.
