This study aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between religious coping and life satisfaction by analysing the indirect effects of fear of COVID-19. Methods: This study included 365 people (75% women) aged 18–78 years. The procedure consisted of completing questionnaires to measure religious coping, COVID-19 anxiety, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with social support. Results: Structural equation modelling showed that positive religious coping was related to greater life satisfaction and greater satisfaction with social support during the pandemic. Moreover, fear of COVID-19 mediated the relationship between negative religious coping and life satisfaction and social support satisfaction. Conclusions: The data suggest a need for practitioners to focus on interventions that enhance positive religious coping to improve life satisfaction during the spread of infectious diseases.Paweł Piotr DobrakowskiSebastian SkalskiJanusz SurzykiewiczJolanta MuszyńskaKarol KonaszewskiMDPI AGarticlereligious copinglife satisfactionCOVID-19fear of COVID-19MedicineRENJournal of Clinical Medicine, Vol 10, Iss 4865, p 4865 (2021)
