Interventions

Spiritual Distress and Resources Questionnaire (SDRQ)BEHAVIORAL

The SDRQ is a validated self-rating instrument to assess spiritual distress and resources. It focuses on beliefs, attitudes, experiences and practices of various kinds (every day and extraordinary), as well as on (dis-)connectedness. It consists of 22 items covering three subscales: spiritual resources, spiritual distress, and spiritual coping (Peng-Keller et. al., 2020, submitted). We constructed five additional questions to find out more why patients want to include spiritual aspects in their treatment.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

To investigate the objectives, 220 psychiatric patients suffering from an affective disorder (ICD F3/F4) will be recruited consecutively. Because we assess a questionnaire with 22 items for our primary objective, the number of 220 patients seems reasonable. The project population consists of psychiatric patients at the outpatient and day-clinics of the Center for Social Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, University Hospital for Psychiatry of Zurich.
