Spirituality and the psychological and physical symptoms of trauma.
Tokayer, Naama M.

Spirituality and the psychological and physical symptoms of trauma. - 114 p.

Chair: David L. Singer.

Thesis (Psy.D.)--University of Hartford, 2002.

Spirituality has remained an elusive term despite increasing research in the area. Although many have proposed definitions for spirituality, little spirituality is an experience that words simply fail to describe. Nonetheless, theoretical literature has highlighted the buffering effects of spirituality, as it exists independently of religion, with regard to the deleterious effects of trauma. The lack of clarity relating to the definition of spirituality remains one of the greatest challenges to the empirical validation of its relationship with trauma. This study is an attempt to further empirical research in this area of study by assessing spirituality along with symptoms of trauma. 90 adult survivors of childhood abuse completed multiple questionnaires relating to abuse history, psychological symptoms of trauma, physical functioning and spirituality independent of religion. This study is based on the hypothesis that there is an inverse relationship between spirituality and trauma symptoms among adult survivors of childhood abuse. Results show fewer psychological symptoms with greater spiritual meaning. Furthermore, regression analysis used to test for mediation and moderation shows that spiritual meaning partially mediates psychological symptoms but not physical functioning. Spiritual transcendence was not shown to be associated with fewer symptoms. Finally, this study challenges the theoretical underpinnings of the meaning of spirituality and proposes new meaning based upon results of analyses.
