前列腺癌是一种可以降低身体功能状态的重要障碍。流动性是生活质量和教会出席与改善身体功能相关联的基础。很少有研究探讨宗教参与如何影响一般男性，特别是前列腺癌幸存者的流动性限制。本研究的目的是评估黑人和白色前列腺癌患者和幸存者参加教堂活动和行动受限之间的关系。本研究的数据来自前列腺癌治疗结果的诊断和决策研究，该研究包括804名黑人和白色男性，主要结果和预测变量的完整信息。活动受限是主要的结果变量，教堂出勤率是主要的自变量。分析样本在黑人（N = 382）和白色男性（N = 422）之间几乎平均分配。报告行动能力受限的黑人男子比例（30.09%）是白色男子相应比例（14.7%）的两倍多。黑人男性每周去教堂的比例更高（49.2%对45.0%）。完全调整后的改良泊松回归模型的结果表明，每周参加教会的受访者比从不参加教会的人有更低的活动受限患病率（PR = 0.56，95%CI [0.39，0.81]）。这项研究的结果有助于证明参加教会活动对健康有益的证据。这些研究结果表明，医疗服务提供者应该考虑宗教和灵性如何为前列腺癌患者和幸存者提供改善预后的机会。
Prostate cancer is a significant impediment that can reduce physical functional status. Mobility is fundamental for quality of life and church attendance to be associated with improved physical functioning. Few studies have examined how religious participation have implications for mobility limitation among men in general and among prostate cancer survivors in particular. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between church attendance and mobility limitation among Black and White prostate cancer patients and survivors. Data for this investigation were drawn from the Diagnosis and Decisions in Prostate Cancer Treatment Outcomes Study that consisted of 804 Black and White men with complete information on the primary outcome and predictor variables. Mobility limitation was the primary outcome variable, and church attendance was the main independent variable. The analytic sample was almost equally divided between Black (N = 382) and White men (N = 422). The proportion of Black men reporting mobility limitation (30.09%) more than doubled the corresponding percentage for White men (14.7%). Black men had a higher proportion of individuals who reported weekly church attendance (49.2% vs. 45.0%). Fully adjusted modified Poisson regression models produced results indicating that respondents attending church weekly had a lower mobility limitation prevalence (PR = 0.56, 95% CI [0.39, 0.81]) than those never attending church. Results from this study contribute to the body of evidence asserting the health benefits of church attendance. These findings suggest that health providers should consider how religion and spirituality can present opportunities for improved outcomes in prostate cancer patients and survivors.
