Abstract
The present study explored the potential moderating role of intrinsic religiosity between problem-focused coping and suicide risk among patients with renal failure. The purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data from 250 individuals with renal failure; men (n = 165) and women (n = 85) with (M = 45.39, SD 13.80) taken from hospitals in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Lahore. Results indicated that intrinsic religiosity moderates the relationship between problem-focused coping and suicidal risk by adding a 6% variance. Furthermore, men used more problem-focused coping as compared to women based on the group of education. This was specifically noted in individuals with low education levels. This study will provide guidelines for mental health professionals to identify the possible suicide risk among patients with renal failure. Treatment adherence can be improved when their coping styles are congruent with their treatment demands. Therefore, it is necessary to plan proper interventions for renal failure patients.
