Yampolsky, Maya A.; Wittich, Walter; Webb, Gail; Overbury, Olga
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v102 n1 p28-39 Jan 2008
Spirituality and coping behaviors were measured in 85 individuals with visual impairments aged 23 to 97. A regression analysis indicated that the religious well-being subscale of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale is a significant predictor of adaptive coping behaviors, indicating that higher religious well-being facilitates adaptive coping. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
