Abstract:   (234 Views)
Introduction and purpose: Spouses of veterans suffering from post war stress disorder endure high level of stress due to insufficient support of the society. This group of caregivers is often in a more unstable and exhausting situation emotionally, which directly affect their quality of life. Religious coping strategies, as a defense mechanism, have positive effect on the adjustment and performance of veteran caregivers. This study was conducted with the aim of examining the relationship between religious coping strategies and the quality of life of veterans' spouses.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted in 2019 on 412 spouses of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) living in Isfahan city. Sampling was done by convenience method. Data collection tools included the Pargament’s religious coping scale (RCOPE) and Busby et al.'s (1995) quality of marital life questionnaire.
Results: The results of Pearson test showed a significant relationship between coping strategies and quality of life of veterans’ spouses (P < 0.01, r = 0.23), so that with the increase of coping strategies, the quality of life of veterans' spouses also increased.
Discussion: Religious coping strategy increases the quality of life and improves the physical and mental health of veterans’ caregivers. Given the direct and positive relationship between coping strategies and quality of life, this defense mechanism can be used to improve the quality of life of veterans' spouses.
