Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: To systematically analyze quantitative data about the effects of religion/spirituality and the well-being/quality of life of cancer patients. The second aim was to hypothesize a neurophysiological model of the association between religion/spirituality and the brain. Methods: This study met the PRISMA Statement and was registered at PROSPERO database. Randomized and Controlled trials investigating religion/spirituality and well-being/quality of life of cancer patients were included. Based on neuroimaging and neurophysiology studies, a neuroanatomical model was developed to hypothesize the relationship between neuroscience and religion/spirituality. Results: A large effect size was found on the improvement of well-being/quality of life (SMD = 3.90 [2.43-5.38], p < 0.01). Heterogeneity was high among studies (I2 = 98%, p < 0.01). Specific regions of the brain, such as the temporal lobes, amygdalae and hippocampus, regions from the limbic system, were hypothesized to take part in the religion/spirituality phenomena and the well-being/quality of life improvement. Conclusion: Religion/spirituality intervention, mainly the Islamic, promotes an improvement on well-being/quality of life of cancer patients.

伊斯兰宗教和灵性对癌症患者幸福感和生活质量的影响:一项荟萃分析和大脑机制的假设模型

摘要目的：系统分析癌症患者宗教/精神信仰与幸福感/生活质量影响的定量数据。第二个目的是假设宗教/精神与大脑之间联系的神经生理学模型。方法：本研究符合PRISMA声明，并在PROSPERO数据库中注册。研究癌症患者的宗教/精神和幸福感/生活质量的随机和对照试验也包括在内。基于神经成像和神经生理学研究，开发了一个神经解剖学模型来假设神经科学与宗教/精神之间的关系。结果：对幸福感/生活质量的改善有很大的影响（SMD=3.90[2.43-5.38]，p<0.01）。研究之间的异质性很高（I2=98%，p<0.01），大脑的特定区域，如颞叶、杏仁核和海马，边缘系统区域，被假设参与宗教/精神现象和幸福感/生活质量的改善。结论：宗教/精神干预，主要是伊斯兰教，促进了癌症患者幸福感/生活质量的改善。
