- Abstract:
- The aim of this study was to investigate different dimensions of religiosity and spirituality among schizophrenic inpatients (F 2x) compared to addiction patients (F 10.2, F 19.2) and to healthy controls. In addition the dimensions of religious and spiritual well-being were examined and related to different parameters of mental illness. The group of schizophrenic patients (n = 39) was compared to a group of addiction patients (n = 33) and a healthy control group (n = 38) by means of the multidimensional inventory for religious/spiritual well-being (MI-RSWB). Additionally, dimensions of RSWB were related to the Beck depression inventory (BDI) and the brief symptom inventory (BSI) in the group of schizophrenic patients. The group of schizophrenic patients did not differ from the addiction patients or from the healthy controls in the RSWB dimensions, except for the hope transcendent sub-dimension. Furthermore, dimensions of RSWB turned out to be negatively correlated with the severity of psychiatric symptoms (BDI and BSI). As assumed a positive relationship between RSWB and subjective well-being can be confirmed also for the group of schizophrenic patients. Existentially oriented dimensions such as hope and forgiveness might be specifically relevant for the group of schizophrenics.
