共有268名患有医学疾病的老年住院患者在基线和两年后的随访中对宗教应对和精神，心理和身体功能的措施做出了反应。在控制了相关变量后，宗教应对对精神结果以及身心健康的变化有显著的预测作用。一般来说，积极的宗教应对方法（例如寻求仁慈的精神支持，宗教重新评估）与健康状况的改善有关。消极的宗教应对方法（如惩罚上帝的重新评价，人际关系的宗教不满）是健康下降的预测。随着时间的推移，继续与宗教问题作斗争的患者可能特别容易出现与健康有关的问题。
A total of 268 medically ill, elderly, hospitalized patients responded to measures of religious coping and spiritual, psychological and physical functioning at baseline and follow-up two years later. After controlling for relevant variables, religious coping was significantly predictive of spiritual outcome, and changes in mental and physical health. Generally, positive methods of religious coping (e.g. seeking benevolent spiritual support, religious reappraisals) were associated with improvements in health. Negative methods of religious coping (e.g. punishing God reappraisal, interpersonal religious discontent) were predictive of declines in health. Patients who continue to struggle with religious issues over time may be particularly at risk for health-related problems.
