目的：研究癌症患者家属照顾者的宗教性多项目测量与重性抑郁症（MDD）之间的关系。设计图：一项前瞻性纵向研究的主要照顾者的连续患者（n=175）与癌症登记在康涅狄格州最大的临终关怀。结果如下：在13个月的随访中，宗教性总分高的护理人员患MDD的可能性显著降低（OR=0.79，95% CI：0.68-0.91）。在对基线时的看护者MDD、看护者年龄、看护者负担和由于看护角色而限制的活动数量进行调整后，该发现仍然具有显著性（OR=0.74，95% CI：0.59-0.91）。结论：在基线时报告更大宗教信仰的家庭照顾者在失去后的13个月随访中抑郁症的发生率较低。在丧亲期间与宗教支持团体或社区团体合作，可以为一些照顾者提供一个有效的机制，加快康复进程。
Objective: To examine the association between a multi-item measure of religiousness and major depressive disorder (MDD) in bereaved family caregivers of patients with cancer. Design: A prospective longitudinal study of primary caregivers of consecutive patients (n=175) with cancer enrolled in the largest hospice in Connecticut. Results: Caregivers with a high religiousness summary score were significantly less likely to have MDD at the 13-month follow-up interview (OR=0.79, 95% Cl: 0.68-0.91). This finding remained significant (OR=0.74, 95% Cl: 0.59-0.91) after adjustment for caregiver MDD at baseline, caregiver age, caregiver burden, and number of activities restricted due to caregiving roles. Conclusions: Family caregivers who reported greater religiousness at baseline had lower rates of depression in the 13-month follow up after their loss. Collaboration with religious support groups or community groups during bereavement could offer an effective mechanism for speeding the process of recovery for some caregivers.
