Religious Involvement, Depressive Symptoms, and Burden in Caregivers of Terminally Ill Patients.
Open accessAbstract
Caring for terminally ill patients can be emotionally burdensome. Previous research has demonstrated that caregiving is associated with anxiety and depression. Research on caregivers of terminally ill patients is limited by retrospective studies with small samples. This study aimed to (1) describe religiosity, religious coping, and depressive symptoms in caregivers of persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or advanced cancer; (2) examine the relationship between religiosity and depressive symptoms in caregivers of persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or advanced cancer; (3) examine the relationship between religious coping and depressive symptoms in caregivers of persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or advanced cancer. A descriptive exploratory design was used to analyze data from a larger 5-year National Institutes of Health–funded multisite randomized controlled trial (the TAILORED study). Nearly half of the caregivers screened positive for depressive symptoms, and negative religious coping was associated with higher depressive symptoms (P < .001). Spouse caregivers reported higher depressive symptoms than nonspouse caregivers. Many caregivers experienced depression, which was mitigated by positive religious coping.

Religious practice and the exercise of spirituality are considered factors that help to overcome negative aspects corresponding to the psychological dimension.
“It should be noted that although 31.9% of caregivers have a defined religious practice and 77.4% are satisfied with this dimension, there is a significant percentage of dissatisfaction, which is striking when we consider that religious practice and the exercise of spirituality are considered factors that help to overcome negative aspects corresponding to the psychological dimension.”

“This situation was also found in the study by Asano et al. 19 , where negative religious coping was associated with greater depressive symptoms, and many of the caregivers who experienced depression had it mitigated by positive religious coping.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
