英文摘要
The purpose of the study: To explore the predictors of manic and depressive
symptoms, religious coping and sense of hopelessness for quality of life in outpatients with bipolar disorder.
Method: This study adopts a cross-sectional design using structured questionnaires collecting data. By the purposive sampling 85 subjects were recruited from the outpatient department of psychiatric hospital in Taipei.
Results: The results indicated that the predictors for physiological aspect of quality of life included the length of illness, with or without religious belief, and levels of depression (R2=35.2%, p<0.001). For psychological aspect of quality of life, the predictors were participating in religious activities, sense of hopelessness and levels of depression (R2=46.2%, p<0.001). Participating in religious activities and sense of hopelessness could predict the social aspect of quality of life (R2=18.7%, p=0.01).
The environmental aspect of quality of life was predicted by participating in religious activities, perceived religion as important, and sense of hopelessness (R2=25.1%, p=0.01).
Conclusion: Psychological, social and environment aspects of quality of life are positively correlated with participating in religious activities but negatively associated
with sense of hopelessness. The higher depression is related to lower physiological and psychological aspects of quality of life. According to the results, helping chronic bipolar patients engage in religious activities might increase their psychological and social quality on life.
