Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between stress coping and religious attitudes of patients’ relatives in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 104 relatives who agreed to participate in the study. Data were obtained using Personal Information Form, Stress Coping Attitude Scale, and Ok -Religious Attitude Scale.
Result: The relatives’ Ok-Religious Attitude Scale mean score was found 4.27 ± 0.712 (high level) and Stress Coping Coping Attitude Scale was found 2.25 ± 0.459 (moderate level). It was found that there was a weak correlation in a positive way between the mean scores of religious attitudes and the mean score of stress coping (p≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: It is recommended that nurses should be aware of religious attitudes in stress manegement of patients’ relatives in intensive care unit. It can also recommended that nurses should make arrangements toward their strategy for stress coping considering the religious attitudes and of patients’ relatives.
