| description | Abstract: Religiosity and spirituality have been studied as resources for coping with crisis and social disruption. This study investigates religiosity/spirituality as a potential protective resource against the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in individuals diagnosed with malignant and non-malignant chronic diseases. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive-exploratory study, with a quanti-qualitative approach. The convenience sample was composed of 78 individuals, divided into two groups. An online form was used. The data from the close-ended questions were tabulated using descriptive statistics. The content of the open-ended questions was examined qualitatively by thematic analysis. The two groups showed signs of emotional distress at similar levels and expressed increased faith and belief that future gains should come from the current distress. Individuals with life-threatening diseases expressed intensified spirituality. Faith was highlighted by participants as a resource to face the challenges of this dramatic period and should be valued by health care teams. |
