引言：精神在心理健康和成功老龄化背景下的作用还没有得到很好的理解。在一个样本的社区居住的老年妇女参加了在圣地亚哥网站的妇女健康倡议的研究，我们研究了灵性和一系列变量之间的关联与成功的认知和情绪老化，包括乐观，弹性，抑郁症，和健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）。方法：一个详细的横断面调查问卷成功老龄化完成了1973年老年妇女。它包括多个自我报告的积极心理功能测量（例如，弹性和乐观），以及抑郁症和HRQoL。灵性测量使用五项自我报告量表构建使用两个项目从简短的多维测量/灵性和三个项目从霍格的内在宗教motivationscale.Results：总体而言，40%的妇女报告定期出席有组织的宗教实践，53%的报告从事私人的精神实践。有几个变量显着相关的精神在双变量协会，但是，使用模型测试，精神是显着相关的，只有较高的弹性，较低的收入，较低的教育程度，和较低的可能性，在婚姻或承诺relationships.Conclusions：我们的研究结果指出，精神的作用，在促进恢复力的压力，可能在更大程度上的人与较低的收入和教育水平。未来的纵向研究需要证实这些关联。
Introduction:The role of spirituality in the context of mental health and successful aging is not well understood. In a sample of community-dwelling older women enrolled at the San Diego site of the Women's Health Initiative study, we examined the association between spirituality and a range of variables associated with successful cognitive and emotional aging, including optimism, resilience, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).Methods:A detailed cross-sectional survey questionnaire on successful aging was completed by 1973 older women. It included multiple self-reported measures of positive psychological functioning (e.g., resilience and optimism), as well as depression and HRQoL. Spirituality was measured using a five-item self-report scale constructed using two items from the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiosity/Spirituality and three items from Hoge's Intrinsic Religious Motivation Scale.Results:Overall, 40% women reported regular attendance in organized religious practice, and 53% reported engaging in private spiritual practices. Several variables were significantly related to spirituality in bivariate associations; however, using model testing, spirituality was significantly associated only with higher resilience, lower income, lower education, and lower likelihood of being in a marital or committed relationship.Conclusions:Our findings point to a role for spirituality in promoting resilience to stressors, possibly to a greater degree in persons with lower income and education level. Future longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these associations.
