  • Spiritual and Religious Beliefs, Behaviors, and Struggles in Relation to Death Anxiety

    Open Access•Gina L Scorpiniti, Gail Ironson•ARTICLE•Journal of Religion and Health•2026

    Death anxiety is associated with adverse psychological and health outcomes, yet findings regarding the role of religiosity and spirituality (R/S) as protective or risk factors remain mixed. Prior research has relied on convenience samples, combined disparate R/S constructs, and rarely tested nonlinear associations. This study examined associations between death anxiety and multiple R/S facets in a nationwide probability sample of 3,010 U.S. adult…

  • Religious and spiritual identities

    N Krause, Gail Ironson•ARTICLE•Journal of Religion, Spirituality…•2025

    This study has three objectives. First, to assess change in four religious/spiritual identities: religious only, spiritual only, both religious and spiritual, and neither religious nor spiritual. Second, to evaluate whether respondents believe the identities they assumed are salient. Third, to estimate whether the probability of identity change is associated with age. The findings indicate that roughly a quarter of the sample changed their religi…

Second, the results reveal that feeling grateful to God is associated with more spir…

  • Belief in Faith Healing and HbA1c

    Open Access•N Krause, Gail Ironson•ARTICLE•Journal of Psychology and Theology•2024

    The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between belief in divine healing and HbA1c (a biomarker of blood glucose control). Three major findings emerged from our analysis of data from a nationwide survey. First, a set of descriptive analyses suggest that faith healing beliefs are not the sole province of Conservative Christians. Instead, belief in divine healing is more widely spread in the general population. Second, our analyses…

  • Frequency of Private Prayer Predicts Survival Over 6 Years in a Nationwide U.S. Sample of Individuals with a Chronic Illness

    Open Access•Gail Ironson, Salman Shaheen Ahmad•ARTICLE•Journal of Religion and Health•2024

    Prayer is central to religious/spiritual life, and there are many claims for its effectiveness. However, few studies have examined whether frequency of prayer predicts survival in people with a chronic illness. This study follows a nationwide United States sample of people with a chronic illness ( N = 1931) from 2014 to 2020. Those who prayed on a daily basis or more were significantly more likely to survive over 6 years (Hazard Ratio = 1.48; 95%…

  • Exploring self-esteem during expressive writing about trauma predicts decreased depression in people with HIV

    Rachel Verhagen, Rachel M Verhagen et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2023

    Self-esteem is often negatively impacted by trauma. Low self-esteem has been related to significantly worse depression in people with HIV (PWH). This study explores whether the expression of words related to self-esteem during a 4-session augmented trauma writing intervention predicted post-traumatic stress, depressive symptoms, and health outcomes 6-months later. Ninety-five PWH completed four 30-minute augmented trauma writing sessions in the i…

  • Effectiveness of three brief treatments for recent traumatic events in a low-SES community setting

    Open Access•Gail Ironson, Emily Hylton et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2020

    This study provides preliminary evidence that any of these 3 approaches may be useful in low-resource community settings. Because it gives the quickest relief, EMDR is the preferred approach, followed by SMT, due its ease of administration. PFA provides a reasonable alternative. Where possible, booster sessions should be planned. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

Three health outcomes are used in this study: self-rated health, depressive symptoms, and alcohol use. The data are from a large nationwide random probability survey of adults of all ages who reside in the United States (N = 2,…

  • Religious involvement, God images, and life satisfaction

    N Krause, Gail Ironson•ARTICLE•Mental Health Religion & Culture•2019

    This study addresses two issues. The first is to identify the aspects of religious life that are associated with benevolent images of God including denominational affiliation (Conservative Christians versus others), church attendance, and church-based social support (i.e., spiritual support). Data from a nationwide survey suggests that church-based support appears to be the most consequential. The second issue involves embedding these constructs …

  • Meaning in Life Moderates the Relationship Between Sacred Loss/Desecration and Health

    Open Access•N Krause, Kenneth I Pargament et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2018•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 22

    According to sanctification theory, religious people tend to imbue certain aspects of their lives with spiritual character and significance. Moreover, they take active steps to preserve and protect sacred aspects of their lives that might be threatened. If they are successful, they derive a deep sense of satisfaction and well-being. However, when stressful events arise, some individuals are not able to preserve and protect the facets of their liv…
