Abstract

The editor considers some definitions of research, mental health, religion and religiosity. Reviews some studies of the benefits of religion to mental and physical health. Discusses nursing aspects and invites readers to contribute to this relatively underdeveloped area of knowledge. In a future article the editor will review some links between religion, depression and suicide.
