Abstract

The goal of the present research is to study the effects of religious beliefs on coping strategies and their efficiency against pain in patients suffering from migraine. 150 patients who referred to neurologists were studied through sampling. They were given the questionnaire on situational coping strategies, obeying religious beliefs, successive visual scale, and numeric ranking scale. A descriptive-correlative statistical method was applied to analyze the obtained data. The results showed that there is correlation between having religious beliefs and applying coping strategies of attention control, pain ignoring, hopefulness, and pain re-interpretation, all of which leading to a better pain reduction and control, while there is not such correlation between having religious beliefs and the coping strategies of self-discussion and disaster-making. Moreover, having religious beliefs leads to feeling less pain during migraine attacks while applying the coping strategies of self-discussion and disaster-making is reported to have an outcome of more pains.
