Abstract：
Religiosity can be an important factor in women\'s health-related behaviour, attitudes, and decision-making. Evidence however, regarding the religiosity of mothers and its influence on child health, is scarce. Based on a large population-based cohort in Australia, we aim to examine the religiosity of women in Australia and the association of maternal religiosity with children\'s health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and lifestyle. Our findings indicate that (1) maternal religious involvement was higher for women with higher education levels, ascertained religious values in decision-making, and abstinence from binge drinking in the household, (2) maternal religiosity positively influenced their children\'s HRQOL, (3) children of mothers who were more religious had less worries or fewer school-work problems, but the children of mothers with stronger religious beliefs used more internet/computer during the week but had less time playing games on weekends. This study provides additional specificity to inform future health interventions in religious community contexts to enhance the positive influence of maternal religious belief for better development of their children.
摘要：
宗教信仰可能是女性健康相关行为的重要因素，态度，和决策。然而证据,关于母亲的宗教信仰及其对儿童健康的影响，是稀缺的。基于澳大利亚的大量基于人口的队列，我们旨在研究澳大利亚女性的宗教信仰，以及母亲宗教信仰与儿童健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）和生活方式的关系。我们的研究结果表明：（1）受教育程度较高的女性，母亲的宗教参与度更高，在决策中确定宗教价值，在家里禁欲酗酒，(2)母亲的宗教信仰对子女的HRQOL有积极影响，(3)更虔诚的母亲的孩子有更少的担忧或更少的学校工作问题，但是，有较强的宗教信仰的母亲的孩子在一周内使用更多的互联网/计算机，但在周末玩游戏的时间较少。这项研究提供了额外的特殊性，以告知宗教团体背景下未来的健康干预措施，以增强母亲宗教信仰对子女更好发展的积极影响。
