目前的研究评估了中风患者的精神信仰、宗教实践、身体健康和心理健康之间的关系。对63名门诊受试者进行横断面分析，包括32名中风患者和31名健康对照，使用简明的宗教/灵性多维度量表(BMMRS)和医疗结果量表-简表(SF-36)。对于中风患者，SF-36一般精神健康量表仅与BMMRS的宗教和精神应对量表显著相关(r=0.43；p<；0.05)。没有其他BMMRS因素与SF-36心理或身体健康量表显著相关。不显著的趋势表明，精神因素主要与心理健康和身体健康有关。这项研究表明，认为更高的力量将有助于应对疾病/残疾的精神信仰与中风后更好的心理健康有关，但宗教或精神因素都与身体健康结果无关。这一结果与一项研究一致，该研究表明，精神信仰可能会保护中风患者免受情绪困扰。
The current study evaluated the relationships among spiritual beliefs, religious practices, physical health, and mental health for individuals with stroke. A cross-sectional analysis of 63 individuals evaluated in outpatient settings, including 32 individuals with stroke and 31 healthy controls was conducted through administration of the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) and the Medical Outcomes Scale-Short Form 36 (SF-36). For individuals with stroke, the SF-36 General Mental Health scale was significantly correlated with only the BMMRS Religious and Spiritual Coping scale (r = .43; p < .05). No other BMMRS factors were significantly correlated with SF-36 mental or physical health scales. Non-significant trends indicated spiritual factors were primarily related to mental versus physical health. This study suggests spiritual belief that a higher power will assist in coping with illness/disability is associated with better mental health following stroke, but neither religious nor spiritual factors are associated with physical health outcomes. The results are consistent with research that suggests that spiritual beliefs may protect individuals with stroke from experiencing emotional distress.
