Introduction: The studies show that both spirituality and religiosity are protective for mental health. Personality is related with course and outcome of depression, as well as spirituality and religiostiy, and their relations towards to recovery from depession are underresearched. Aim: This study followed influence of spirituality and religiosity on course and outcome of depression and suicidality in patients with depressive episode, controlled for personality dimensions. Methods: The patients were assessed with self-report measures of depression (BDI), suicidality (BHS), spirituality (WHOQOL-SRPB), religiosity (DUREL) and personality (TCI). Ninety nine patients finished a year long follow up. Results: Higher spiritualiy influenced recovery of depression and suicidality in patients with depressive episode, but religiosity that did not show to be significant predictor of recovery for depression or suicidality. Dimension harm avoidance was significant predictor of improvement of depression in all points of measurement. Conclusion: Spirituality and dimension harm avodance are significant predictors of recovery of depression and suicidaly during a year long follow up.

Abstract in Croatian

Uvod: Duhovnost i religioznost su se u nizu istraživanja pokazale zaštitnim čimbenicima za psihičko zdravlje. Ličnost je povezana s nastankom i tijekom depresije, kao i s duhovnošću i religioznošću, ali njihova međusobna povezanost te odnos prema oporavku od depresije neistraženi su. Cilj: Ovim istraživanjem pratili smo brzinu oporavka od depresije i suicidalnost u oboljelih od depresivnog poremećaja u odnosu na duhovnost i religioznost te dimenzije ličnosti prema psihobiološkom modelu. Metode: Osim sociodemografskog upitnika ispitanici su ispunjavali samoocjenske skale za depresiju (BDI), za beznadnost kao glavni prediktor suicidalnosti (BHS), za duhovnost (WHOQOL-SRPB), za religioznost (DUREL), te upitnik ličnosti (TCI). Praćeno je 99 ispitanika kroz godinu dana. Rezultati: Više izražena duhovnost utjecala je na brži oporavak od depresije i suicidalnosti u oboljelih od depresije za razliku od religioznosti koja se nije pokazala značajnim prediktorom oporavka od depresivnosti niti suicidalnosti. Dimenzija temperamenta izbjegavanje štete bila je tijekom cijelog praćenja značajan prediktor oporavka. Zaključak: Duhovnost i dimenzija izbjegavanje štete značajni su prediktori oporavka od depresije i suicidalnosti tijekom godinu dana praćenja u oboljelih od depresije.
