Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to detect correlation between religiosityspirituality and severity of depression and anxiety as well as finding impact on quality of life in patients suffering from one of those disorders or both who are attending the Psychiatric Clinic and Ward of Assiut University Hospitals Given the centrality of religious activities in Egyptian society and the Arab population as a whole finding such correlation may be beneficial in terms of analysing factors that may lead to depression andor anxiety as well as factors that may reduce their severities
Detailed Description:
Religiosity and spirituality are fundamental aspects of the human experience shaping beliefs values and how individuals navigate lifes challenges Religiosity refers to the degree to which individuals identify with and participate in the practices and beliefs of a particular religion It encompasses behaviors like prayer attending religious services and following religious teachings Spirituality on the other hand is a broader concept that reflects a sense of connection to something larger than oneself a search for meaning and purpose in life This connection can be expressed through religious beliefs but it can also be independent of religion encompassing a connection to nature humanity or a sense of purpose Research has increasingly explored the complex interplay between these constructs and mental health The relationship between religiosityspirituality and mental health is multifaceted Religious involvement can provide individuals with social support a sense of belonging and a framework for coping with stress Spiritual beliefs can offer comfort hope and a sense of purpose potentially promoting resilience in the face of challenges However the relationship is not always straightforward Certain religious beliefs or practices could contribute to feelings of guilt shame or isolation potentially impacting mental health Additionally negative religious coping styles such as feeling angry or abandoned by God might exacerbate mental health problems Given the centrality of religion in the Arab world including Egypt a deeper look into the associations between religiosityspirituality and psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety is warranted
