Abstract
Background: Stress is a reaction to perceived internal or external pressures that, when severe, can affect various aspects of life. Research shows that religious beliefs can influence half of the factors related to adult mental health. Therefore, given the effective role of religiosity in stress management and the position of women in the family, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived stress and religiosity in women.
Methods: In a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, 251 women referring to health centers in Qain city in 1403 were selected to participate in the study through simple random sampling. Data collection tools included demographic and background characteristics and standard questionnaires to measure perceived stress and religiosity. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23 and descriptive statistics and logistic regression test.
Findings: Both perceived stress and religiosity were at moderate levels. According to the results of multiple logistic regression, only religiosity was an effective factor on women's perceived stress, so that the more religious people were, the less likely they were to be stressed.
Conclusion :Given the adverse effect of religiosity on perceived stress, it is suggested that in designing educational programs to reduce women's perceived stress, in addition to the issue of religiosity, other issues should also be considered.
