520 |a This study investigated the role of religion in coping with HIV among HIV-positive patients in Malaysia. Eighty HIV-positive patients completed interviews and a set of questionnaire assessing their religious orientation, their level of depression and their quality of life at that time. 68 male and 12 female participants were chosen randomly from a drug rehabilitation centre in Kuala Lumpur (Rumah Pengasih) and also from Pl Clinic (Infectious Diseases Unit) at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. Measurements used included Allport & Ross Religious Orientation Scale (ROS), Siddiqui-Shah Depression Scale (SSDS) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-Bref). It was hypothesized that patients who used religion as a means of coping with their illness would be low in depression and high in quality of life as compared to those who did not use religion as a coping mechanism. It was found that only intrinsic religiosity affects the depression level in HIV-positive patients. Results showed that patients who were low in intrinsic religiosity had a higher depression score. There was no significant effect between religiosity and quality of life. A twoway analysis of variance (ANOV A) was performed to see whether there are interactions among the variables in this study. Results showed that there is interaction between intrinsic religious orientation, extrinsic religious orientation and depression scores on the SSDS. However, there were no significant interactions between intrinsic religiosity, extrinsic religiosity and quality of life. Therefore, this study suggests that religion does play a role in coping with HIV; however, it is the orientation of one's religion that would make a difference.
