Resumo: | Introduction: The prevalence of anxiety and depression among adolescents is increasing worldwide. Religiosity and spirituality are related to both physical and mental health, as well as quality of life and well-being. Objective: To investigate the association between religiosity, spirituality, and anxiety and depression outcomes in adolescents. Method: A cross-sectional and quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 133 high school students, aged 14 to 19, from a public school in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. The following self-administered scales were used: Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), Duke University Religious Index (DUREL-P), and Measure of Life Orientation and Spiritual Health (SHALOM). Results: The prevalence of depression was 56.1%. Sociodemographic risk factors for depression included female gender, non-heterosexual orientation, past bullying victimization, alcohol consumption, and previous diagnosis or family history of psychiatric disorder. The prevalence of anxiety was 65.9%, and the associated factors were female gender, past bullying victimization, and family history of psychiatric disorder. Participants with lower levels of intrinsic religiosity, ideal spirituality, and spiritual experience had a higher chance of depression. Lower scores on spiritual experience were also associated with a higher chance of anxiety). Conclusion: The results suggest that religiosity/spirituality may play a protective role in relation to mental health in the adolescent population, reducing the prevalence of depressive and anxious symptoms. However, further research is needed to deepen the understanding of this relationship and the underlying mechanisms. |

La religiosidad y la espiritualidad se relacionan tanto con la salud física como mental, así como con la calidad de vida y el bienestar. Objetivo: Verificar la asociación entre religiosidad, espiritualidad y los resultados de ansiedad y depresión en los adolescentes. Método: Estudio transversal y cuantitativo, con una muestra de 133 estudiantes de secundaria, de 14 a 19 años, de una escuela pública en la región metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Se utilizaron las siguientes escalas autoadministradas: Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), Inventario de Depresión de Beck II (BDI-II), Escala de Religiosidad de Duke (DUREL-P) y Medida de Orientación de Vida y Salud Espiritual (SHALOM). Resultados: La prevalencia de depresión fue del 56.1%. Los factores de riesgo sociodemográficos para la depresión incluyeron el género femenino, la no heterosexualidad, haber sufrido acoso escolar en el pasado, el consumo de alcohol y el diagnóstico previo o antecedentes familiares de trastorno psiquiátrico. La prevalencia de ansiedad fue del 65.9% y los factores asociados fueron el género femenino, haber sufrido acoso escolar previo y antecedentes familiares de trastorno psiquiátrico. Los participantes con niveles más bajos de religiosidad intrínseca, ideal de espiritualidad y experiencia espiritual tuvieron una mayor probabilidad de depresión. Puntuaciones más bajas en la experiencia espiritual también se asociaron con una mayor probabilidad de ansiedad. Conclusión: Los resultados sugieren que la religiosidad/espiritualidad puede desempeñar un papel protector en relación con la salud mental en la población adolescente, reduciendo la prevalencia de síntomas depresivos y de ansiedad. Sin embargo, se necesitan más investigaciones para profundizar en el conocimiento sobre esta relación y comprender los mecanismos subyacentes.Introdução: A prevalência de ansiedade e depressão entre adolescentes é crescente em todo o mundo. A religiosidade e a espiritualidade se relacionam a saúde tanto física quanto mental, bem como qualidade de vida e ao bem-estar. Objetivo: Verificar a associação entre religiosidade, espiritualidade e resultados de ansiedade e depressão em adolescentes. Método: Estudo transversal e quantitativo, com amostra de 133 estudantes de ensino médio, entre 14 e 19 anos, de uma escola pública da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Foram utilizadas as escalas autoaplicáveis Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), Inventário de depressão de Beck II (BDI-II), Escala de Religiosidade da Duke (DUREL-P), Medida de orientação de vida e saúde espiritual (SHALOM). Resultados: A prevalência de depressão foi de 56,1%. Fatores de risco sociodemográficos para depressão: gênero feminino, não-heterossexuais, ter sofrido bullying no passado, consumo de álcool e diagnóstico prévio ou história familiar de transtorno psiquiátrico. A prevalência de ansiedade foi de 65,9% e os fatores associados foram o gênero feminino, já ter sofrido bullying e história familiar de transtorno psiquiátrico. Participantes com baixos índices de religiosidade intrínseca, ideal de espiritualidade e vivência espiritual tiveram uma chance maior de depressão. Escores de vivência espiritual mais baixos também tiveram mais chance de ansiedade. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que a religiosidade/espiritualidade pode desempenhar um papel protetor em relação à saúde mental na população hebiátrica, reduzindo a prevalência de sintomas depressivos e ansiosos. Todavia, mais pesquisas são necessárias para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre essa relação e entender os mecanismos subjacentes.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2024-03-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedRevisado por ParesAvaliado Pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/109810.25118/2763-9037.2024.v14.1098Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 14 (2024); 1-28Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 14 (2024); 1-28Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 14 (2024); 1-282763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPporhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/1098/865Copyright (c) 2024 Gabriel Antônio Flores Chies, Lucia Naomi Takimihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChies, Gabriel Antônio FloresTakimi, Lucia Naomi2024-04-10T20:29:36Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1098Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2024-04-10T20:29:36Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false |
