Abstract

In this second in a series of articles on religion and medicine, I focus on the relationship between religion and mental health. This discussion is based on a comprehensive and systematic review of a century of research examining religion’s relationship to mental health, social support, substance abuse, and other behaviors affecting mental or social functioning. This review includes over 630 separate data-based reports that focus on religion and well-being, hope and optimism, meaning and purpose, depression, suicide, anxiety, psychosis, social support and marital stability, alcohol and drug abuse, cigarette smoking, extra-marital sexual behaviors, and delinquency. Reasons for the associations found are discussed and conclusions drawn in light of the findings.

Özet

Din ve tıp ilişkisi üzerine kaleme aldığımız bu ikinci makalede din ve ruh sağlığı arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanacağız. Bu tartışma dinin ruh sağlığı, sosyal destek, madde bağımlılığı ve zihinsel ya da sosyal işlevselliği etkileyen diğer davranışlarla ilişkisini inceleyen yüz yıllık bir araştırma sürecinin kapsamlı ve sistematik bir incelemesine dayanmaktadır. Bu inceleme dinin iyi oluş, umut ve iyimserlik, anlam ve amaç, depresyon, intihar, kaygı, psikoz, sosyal destek ve istikrarlı evlilik, alkol ve uyuşturucu bağımlılığı, sigara kullanımı, evlilik dışı cinsel davranışlar ve suçluluk arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanan birbirinden farklı 630'dan fazla veri temelli çalışma raporunu içermektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda, din ile söz konusu değişkenler arasında tespit edilen ilişkilerin nedenleri tartışılmış ve bulgular ışığında birtakım sonuçlar çıkarılmıştır.
