Relationship Between Spirituality, Religiosity, and General Life Satisfaction Among Canadians Living with Neurological Conditions in New Brunswick and Manitoba.

This study assessed the association between religion and spirituality on general life satisfaction among a sample of community-dwelling Canadians with neurological conditions. The data represented responses from two provinces that participated in the national Canadian Community Health Survey-Annual Component (CCHS-2011). A weighted subsample (n = 4562) of respondents with neurological conditions from the provinces of New Brunswick and Manitoba was used. Multivariate logistic regression fitted the models using STATA version 14. Spiritual coping, self-perceived general, and mental health were found to be predictors of greater life satisfaction and quality of life. It may be beneficial to incorporate spiritual and religious needs in the circle of care for those living in the community with neurological conditions.
