Abstract:
Belief in afterlife is frequent, but little is known about how it relates to religiousness/spirituality (R/S) and socio-demographic variables. To investigate how the beliefs in afterlife and that "there is something beyond matter" are associated with socio-demographic, health, and R/S dimensions in a sample of medical inpatients and their companions. In multivariate analysis, afterlife belief correlated positively to educational level, religious affiliation, belief in something beyond matter, and private religious practices. Believe in something beyond matter correlated positively to afterlife belief and being spiritual. Educational level, rates of spirituality, religious affiliation, and private religious practices seem to influence the belief of afterlife and in a non-materialist cosmology.
