背景资料：人们如何使用宗教和精神应对，以及应对模式如何在种族之间存在差异，这是一个越来越多的证据基础。Aims：To描述什么构成了宗教应对和比较宗教应对跨种族的模式。受试者描述了他们如何科普精神困扰，他们的帐户被记录，转录和“框架”的方法进行定性dataanalysis.Results：正式的宗教并不总是必要的个人利用宗教应对。宗教应对最常见的是孟加拉国穆斯林和非洲加勒比基督徒。应对包括祈祷，听宗教广播，使用护身符，与上帝交谈，与上帝建立关系和信任上帝。穆斯林的文化或精神应对做法与宗教应对做法难以区分。基督徒在与上帝的关系中表现出较少的恭敬和更多的对话品质，他们对改变有更大程度的选择和个人责任。宗教和精神的应对措施经常使用，并导致情绪states.Conclusions的变化：人们使用宗教应对，这对促进恢复力和恢复的影响。
Background: There is a growing evidence base for how people use religious and spiritual coping, and how coping patterns differ between ethnic groups.Aims: To describe what constitutes religious coping and compare patterns of religious coping across ethnic groups.Methods: In-depth inter-views were completed by 116 people recruited from six ethnic groups. Subjects described how they cope with mental distress; their accounts were recorded, transcribed and subjected to the "Framework" approach to qualitative data analysis.Results: Formalized religion was not always necessary for individuals to make use of religious coping. Religious coping was most commonly practiced by Bangladeshi Muslims and African Caribbean Christians. Coping included prayer, listening to religious radio, using amulets, talking to God, having a relationship with God and having trust in God. Cultural or spiritual coping practices were indistinguishable from religious coping among Muslims. There was a greater degree of choice and personal responsibility for change among Christians who showed a less deferential and more conversational quality to their relationship with God. Religious and spiritual coping practices were frequently used, and led to a change in emotional states.Conclusions: People use religious coping, and this has implications for promoting resilience and recovery.
