Religion, Spirituality, and Depressive Symptoms in Patients with HIV/AIDSPrimary Author: Michael Yi, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Cincinnati Article published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Describes a study that sought to determine how specific dimensions of religion, spirituality, and other factors relate to depressive symptoms in a contemporary, multi-center cohort of patients with HIV/AIDS. The summary concluded that "A majority of patients with HIV reported having significant depressive symptoms. Poorer health status and perceptions, less social support, and lower spiritual well-being were related to significant depressive symptoms, while personal religiosity and having a religious affiliation was not associated when controlling for other factors. Helping to address the spiritual needs of patients in the medical or community setting may be one way to decrease depressive symptoms in patients with HIV/AIDS."
