Religiosity and Spirituality in the Stages of Recovery From Persistent Mental Disorders.

ABSTRACT: The impact of religiosity and spirituality (R/S) on mental health and the importance of incorporating R/S in mental health treatment have been previously explored. However, clarification is needed regarding the effects of R/S in the process of recovery from persistent mental disorders (PMDs). This study identifies how different R/S factors correlate with the stages of recovery, while considering individual psychological well-being and perceived social support. Seventy-five individuals who use Madrid's public services for people with PMD completed questionnaires assessing those factors. We found that during the recovery process, R/S correlated with psychological well-being and perceived social support, and that these variables were associated with the five stages of recovery differently. We further identified the importance of gratitude, compassion, inner peace, and connection with life in the recovery process. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of these R/S variables in particular recovery stages for individuals with PMD.
