Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 6

recent research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s JAMA Internal Medicine and JAMA Psychiatry and in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine indicates that regular religious-service attendance is associated with a number of positive outcomes, including: a roughly 30 percent reduction in mortality over 16 years of follow-up; a five-fold reduction in the likelihood of suicide; and a 30 percent reduction in the incidence of depression.

However, prior studies had come under criticism for not considering the possibility of “reverse causation.” Perhaps only those who are healthy can attend religious services,

Is faith (religion or spirituality) important to you in this illness? Has faith been important to you at other times in your life? Do you have someone to talk to about religious matters? Would you like to explore religious matters with someone? Answering such questions may help a health-care provider assess whether religious faith plays an important role in a patient’s life

for those who do already identify as religious, service attendance might be encouraged, even in the clinical setting, as a form of meaningful social participation.

x INCORAGGIAMENTO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 56
Why is it that communal religious participation appears to have such powerful health effects? One obvious explanation is social support: By attending religious services, one develops social support

the social and behavioral norms associated with religious services appear to lead to a reduced likelihood of smoking, which, of course, may positively affect health. Another possible explanation concerns one’s outlook on life. Those who attend religious services appear to have higher levels of optimism

careful consideration of how religious services may affect various aspects of one’s life suggests that the role of religion may, in fact, be important.

Of course, social support is present in numerous secular contexts. But within the religious context, the concept of community often takes on singular practical and theological importance.

x ES SOCIAL SUPPORT
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 72
If the communal experience of common worship and common values have religious content, perhaps the resulting communal support is both social and religious in nature.

Similarly, while the concept of optimism is not inherently religious, the message of faith and hope present in religious preaching, readings, and music is central to many religious groups.
