Investigación y Educación en Enfermería 2016 June
OBJECTIVE: This work sought to explore the relationship between spirituality and religiosity in elderly adults with chronic disease.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional cohort study with a representative sample of 229 elderly adults with chronic disease registered in 12 life centers in the city of Cartagena. Reed's Spiritual Perspective and Francis' Religiosity scales were applied.
RESULTS: Mean age was 74.4 years, 62.9% were women, and the most frequent occupations were: unemployed (45.9%) and housewives (44.5%); the religion most practiced was Catholicism (81.2%). Levels of spirituality and religiosity were high, showing a moderate and direct correlation (r = 0.57).
CONCLUSION: A directly proportional relationship exists between spirituality and religiosity in elderly adults with chronic disease.
