Factors That Influence Depression Categorization in Christian Clergy Members From the United States
In the United States, clergy members are at higher risk for mental health distress than the general population. To support early intervention, understanding factors associated with depression status is vital. This study seeks to examine factors associated with mild and moderate depression using the patient health questionnaire depression scale (PHQ) in Christian clergy members from the United States (N = 186). Using logistic regression procedures and Ferguson’s (Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 40(5), 532–538, 2009) criteria for practical significance, younger age (Exp(B) = 0.956, 95% C·I = 0.072–0.016, p = 0.002), history of family therapy (Exp(B) = 0.119, 95% C·I = 0.986–0.008, p = 0.049), and psychiatric medications (Exp(B) = 3.050, 95% C·I = 1.407–6.611, p = 0.005) increased the odds of clergy members being classified in the mild depression group. Additionally, logistic regression procedures indicated that younger age (B = −0.045, Exp(B) = 0.96, 95% C·I = 0.92–0.97, p = 0.03), previous individual therapy (B = 1.66, Exp(B) = 5.28, 95% C·I = 1.36–20.44, p = 0.02), suburban (B = 1.66, Exp(B) = 5.28, 95% C·I = 1.36–20.44, p = 0.02), and rural status (B = 2.36, Exp(B) = 10.63, 95% C·I = 1.99–56.92, p = 0.006) increased the odds of being classified in the moderate depression group. Implications are discussed for researchers, clergy members, and faith tradition leaders.
期刊介绍:
Pastoral Psychology, founded in 1950, is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives.
Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life.
All theoretical perspectives are welcome, as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought, including, but not limited to, psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies, cognitive psychologies, experimental and empirical psychologies, humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology, and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives, intersectional theories, philosophical and theological theories, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, public mental health, and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice, broadly construed, are especially desirable, as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science, but also religious and spiritual leaders, as well as caregivers, chaplains, social workers, counselors/therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology.
Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers, the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing, including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared, yet also reflect individual social, cultural, and religious locations. The journal, therefore, welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
