AIDS, Psicologia e Religião:
O Estado da Questão na Literatura Psicológica
Palavras-chave:
AIDS, Enfrentamento, Psiconeuroimunologia, Religião, StressResumo
Estudaram-se algumas relações entre saúde e religião, por meio de levantamento crítico da literatura psicológica recente. Considerou-se a saúde, e seu correlato a doença, particularmente enquanto dependente do sistema imunológico; entendeu-se a religião como forma de enfrentamento. Foram examinadas tanto a literatura teórica quanto as pesquisas empíricas disponíveis, com destaque da pesquisa específica de Jenkins (1995) sobre religião e a síndrome da imuno-deficiência adquirida (AIDS). Os estudos examinados ensejaram algumas sugestões relativas ao enfrentamento religioso, pessoal e eventualmente institucional, no caso da referida síndrome.
