SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Religion and spirituality seem to be very important for hiv-positive patients believers. Indeed, a recurring number of studies show strong correlations between religiosity/spirituality of individuals and different dimensions of health. The majority of these studies show most positive associations of religiosity/spirituality to physical health through reducing emotional distress, reduced rates of depression, greater optimism, better psychological adjustment, better preservation of cd4 cells, better control of viral load (Jones, ; Koenig, ; Pargament, Koenig, Tarakeshwar, & Hahn, ; Parsons, Cruise, Davenport, & Jones, ; Szaflarski et al., ; Yi et al., ). The objective of this research is to understand the nature of the relationship between religiosity and emotional health among hiv-positive patients, migrants from sub-Saharan Africa. Religiosity, the frequency of depressive episodes and subjective health 81 asymptomatic hiv patients regularly followed, were evaluated. Regression models and mediation, backed by a resampling procedure (5000) were tested. From mediation analyzes, the results show that through the mediating effect of subjective health, religiosity explains a decrease in the number of depressive episodes in people with hiv migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.
