A religião é um contexto muito importante para muitos indivíduos na sociedade e a espiritualidade é vista como uma dimensão fundamental para o bem-estar de cada um (Aldwin, et al, 2014)
Este trabalho teve como principais objetivos a analise da possível relação entre a prática religiosa com os níveis de bem-estar espiritual e os níveis de florescimento psicológico; e verificar a relação entre as dimensões do bem-estar espiritual com as dimensões do florescimento psicológico.
Os instrumentos utilizados para o efeito foram o Spiritual Health and Life Orientation Measure (SHALOM) e o PERMA-Profiler (Seligman, 2011; Butler e Kern, 2013).
O estudo contou com 837 participantes com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 83 anos (M= 41,34; DP= 11,97), dos quais 69,9% são do sexo feminino e 30,1% do sexo masculino. Deste amostra, 63,7% indicam ter uma prática religiosa.
Os resultados demonstraram a existência de uma relação significativa entre ter uma prática religiosa e os níveis de bem-estar espiritual, bem como nos níveis de florescimento psicológico.
A frequência da prática religiosa indicou que quanto maior for a sua regularidade, mais altos são os níveis de bem-estar espiritual e de florescimento psicológico. E quanto menor for a prática, mais altos são os níveis das dimensões Emoções Negativas e Solidão do florescimento psicológico.
A relação entre as dimensões do bem-estar espiritual e as dimensões do florescimento psicológico demonstrou ser positiva, no entanto, revelou-se fraca.
Conclui-se que ter uma prática religiosa tem uma importância para o bem-estar do indivíduo, no entanto, admite-se que possa não ser relevante para todos os seres humanos.
