Religion assumes a central role in the lives of the majority of older adults. The present study examined the role of religiosity on clinical outcome in elderly patients hospitalized for psychiatric care. Two hypotheses were investigated: (a) hospitalized elderly psychiatric patients would demonstrate a high degree of religiosity, and (b) higher levels of religious commitment would determine shorter lengths of stay as well as greater improvements in psychiatric symptoms, depression, and cognitive functioning compared to lower levels of religious commitment. Results revealed that two-thirds of patients considered themselves at least fairly religious, and 80% derived at least some strength and comfort from religion. As expected, the majority of patients (72%) were infrequent religious service attenders. Further, religious commitment exerted beneficial effects on treatment outcome, including shorter lengths of hospital stays due to less severe psychiatric symptoms and depression. No differences were found in the magnitude of symptom change over the course of hospitalization among low, medium, and high religiosity groups. Finally, both public and private religiosity were associated with decreased levels of psychopathology.
