Sažetak

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study is to determine the influence of faith (and other dimensions of religiosity) on the subjective assessment of quality of life and general satisfaction with quality of life in neurological patients, who are Christians by religion.
METHODS: Sixty neurological patients during rehabilitation in a special hospital for medical rehabilitation participated in this research using a questionnaire method. 3 questionnaires were used: a questionnaire on religiosity that has 3 dimensions, a questionnaire on quality of life satisfaction in 7 adult domains (PWI) and a questionnaire containing one question on satisfaction with the quality of life as a whole.
RESULTS: The spiritual dimension of religiosity was examined using 8 particles. The highest level was found in the particle "I feel like a believer", and the lowest in "Because of my faith I am ready to give up and sacrifice." The highest level of religiosity was found in the ritual dimension, followed by the spiritual dimension and the lowest in the dimension of the influence of faith on behaviour. Based on the 3 observed dimensions of religiosity, the conclusion is that a very high level of religiosity prevails in the examined neurological patients. In terms of satisfaction with the quality of life in 7 domains, they are the most satisfied with their relationships with the people that are close to them and the least satisfied with their health. Satisfaction with the quality of life was very high in both measured questionnaires. By testing the connection between religiosity I (spiritual dimensions) and satisfaction with the quality of life in 7 domains, and by testing the connection between religiosity and satisfaction with the quality of life as a whole, no connection was established. By testing the relationship between life satisfaction in 7 domains and satisfaction with quality of life as a whole, a positive, moderate and statistically significant association was found.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the research, we conclude that faith can play a unique role in perception of the quality of life of patients and should become a standard part of care in the treatment of the individual.
