Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the well-being and mental health of populations worldwide. This study sought to examine whether religious coping mediated the relationship between COVID-19-related fear and death distress. We administered an online survey to 390 adult participants (66.15% females; Mage = 30.85 ± 10.19 years) across Turkey. Participants completed a series of questionnaires measuring the fear they had experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, their levels of religious coping and their levels of death anxiety and depression. Our findings revealed that (a) fear of COVID-19 was associated with positive religious coping, negative religious coping, death anxiety and death distress; (b) negative religious coping was associated with death anxiety and depression and (c) negative religious coping mediated the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and death anxiety and depression. These results highlight the detrimental effect of negative religious coping in increasing the adverse effect of the COVID-19 fear on death depression.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行影响了全世界人群的福祉和心理健康。这项研究试图检查宗教应对是否介导了与COVID-19相关的恐惧和死亡困扰之间的关系。我们对土耳其的390名成年参与者（66.15％为女性；Mage=30.85±10.19岁）进行了在线调查。参与者完成了一系列问卷，测量他们在COVID-19大流行期间所经历的恐惧，他们的宗教应对水平和死亡焦虑和抑郁水平。我们的研究结果表明，(a)对COVID-19的恐惧与积极的宗教应对有关，消极的宗教应对，死亡焦虑和死亡困扰；（b）消极的宗教应对与死亡焦虑和抑郁相关；（c）消极的宗教应对介导了对COVID-19的恐惧与死亡焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。这些结果凸显了消极的宗教应对在增加COVID-19恐惧对死亡抑郁症的不利影响方面的不利影响。
