A multi-center prospective study of adults aged 65+ hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome assessed engagement in religion-based strength and comfort, petition prayers, and intercessory prayers. Physical health-related quality of life during hospitalization was measured with SF-36v2 and analyzed using linear regression.

San Francisco, California, United States  \nReligious and spiritual beliefs and practices (R/S) are often used by patients to cope with life-threatening events. However, the role of R/S remains understudied among older adults who survive a heart attack. The study objective was to examine the extent of engagement in R/S among older adults hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their association with physical health related quality of life (HRQoL) . Data was obtained from the multi-center prospective TRACE-CORE study (2011-2013) . Patients aged ≥65 years hospitalized with ACS at six medical centers in Massachusetts and Georgia were included in the present study. Participants self-reported their extent of engagement in three items assessing R/S – deriving strength and comfort from religion, making petition prayers for their health, and receiving intercessory prayers. Physical HRQoL was measured with the SF-36®v2 physical component score. Linear regression models were used to examine the relationship between each R/S measure and physical HRQOL during hospitalization.  \nAmong 804 older adults hospitalized with ACS (mean age 73 years; 39% women; 87% non-Hispanic White), 88% found strength and comfort from religion, 67% prayed for their health, and 88% received intercessory prayers. The average physical HRQoL score was 40.2. After adjusting for potential confounders, greater engagement in R/S was associated with poorer physical HRQoL during hospitalization. A majority of older survivors of ACS utilize their R/S beliefs as coping mechanisms and their relationship to physical HRQoL is complex. Integrating R/S support into patient-centered care may support recovery and QoL after a heart attack.","cbCaiaMR3c0Bz7Uj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaMR3c0Bz7Uj","pdf",614454,"English","# Study Aim\n## Religious and spiritual engagement measures\n## Physical HRQoL assessment\n## Statistical analysis\n# Participants and Results\n## Sample characteristics\n## Engagement levels and HRQoL scores\n## Association between R/S and physical HRQoL\n# Implications for Care","[{\"question\":\"What relationship did the study find between religious and spiritual engagement and physical HRQoL during hospitalization?\",\"answer\":\"After adjusting for potential confounders, greater engagement in religious and spiritual practices was associated with poorer physical health-related quality of life during hospitalization.\"}]","Religious and Spiritual Beliefs and Practices in Older Survivors of a Heart Attack - Study Objective, Methods, and Findings | PDF",1790647642]
