这项研究探讨了与上帝的关系对前列腺癌患者生活质量的影响。34名前列腺癌患者完成了关于人口统计学和疾病因素、与上帝关系方面（例如，上帝形象），非宗教资源（例如，乐观）和身体，社会和情感功能。结果表明，与上帝的关系是一个重要的因素，在控制了年龄，治疗反应的严重程度和非宗教资源后，这些人的角色，情感和社会功能的预测。与神的关系的不同方面（例如，因果归因）证明了不同的协会与功能和非宗教资源的感知健康控制。这些结果表明，与上帝的关系可能以复杂的方式作为应对前列腺癌的资源。需要纵向研究来澄清宗教/精神资源在前列腺癌患者短期和长期生活质量中的作用。
This study explored the role of relationship with God with respect to the quality of life of men with prostate cancer. Thirty-four men with prostate cancer completed questionnaires on demographic and illness factors, aspects of relationship with God (e.g., God image), nonreligious resources (e.g., optimism) and physical, social and emotion functioning. Results showed that relationship with God was a significant factor in the prediction of role, emotional and social functioning for these men after controlling for age, reported severity of treatment reactions and nonreligious resources. Notably, different aspects of relationship with God (e.g., causal attribution) evidenced different associations with functioning and the nonreligious resource of perceived health control. Such results suggest that relationship with God may function in a complex manner as a resource in coping with prostate cancer. Longitudinal research is needed to clarify the role of religious/spiritual resources in the short- and long-term quality of life of men with prostate cancer.
