| Popis: | This study aims to describe the role that religion and belief may play in members of the Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jewish population hospitalized in the Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center and diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. Religion was judged essential by the patients in the management of their illness. Forty percent of the patients perceive their illness as their destiny, 26.7% as an "affliction of love," and 33.3% as resulting from their sins. Sixty percent of patients explained that faith is a source of hope in their life, with 76.7% indicating that collective religious practices help them face their illness. Ninety percent expressed no conflict between consulting a psychiatrist and their religious beliefs. Collective religious practices were correlated with higher treatment credibility. The use of religious coping methods was correlated with lower anxiety and tension among women. Higher conflict between religion and consulting a psychiatrist was correlated with lower treatment credibility among men. |
