520 |a the present study examined religious coping following negative life events among three groups of participants in denmark: severely ill lung disease patients (n = 111), individuals facing other negative life events (n = 91), and a healthy control group (n = 246) matched on age, gender, education, and region. the aims of the study were to explore the degree to which major life stressors mobilize greater levels of religiousness in a secular society like denmark, the types of religious behaviors and coping strategies employed (if any), and the associations between religious coping and well-being among the participant groups. While we found no differences in the level of general religious activities between groups, lung disease patients reported greater use of positive religious coping than the control group, especially asking forgiveness and religious meaning-making. hierarchical regression analyses indicated that negative religious coping was significantly associated with poorer overall quality of life (Qol) among lung disease patients (β = .19, p < 0.01), whereas congregational support was associated with better Qol (β = .20, p < 0.01) and existential well-being (β = .19, p < 0.01) in the control group. positive religious coping was not associated with well-being measures in any of the groups. the results suggest that despite secularization, religion continues to be a relevant factor among danes, particularly for those facing severe illness. the practical implications of these findings for health care are considered.
