Religious and spiritual beliefs are beneficial in stroke patients as coping strategies. This work has investigated the feeling of people about it by proposing to 174 volunteers aged 54.0 +/- 16.9 years the Royal Free Interview (RFI). Interviewed subjects considered the beliefs beneficial for health independently of their form. Ascertaining the pre-morbid understanding of life in subjects at risk of hypertension may be useful to verify self-confidence and coping possibilities against anger, fear, and stress, factors that may exert a negative effect.
