Resumo
Este estudo avaliou, por meio de um delineamento quantitativo transversal, o bem-estar espiritual da comunidade cristã evangélica do Chile durante a pandemia de COVID-19 (junho e julho de 2020), em uma amostra de conveniência (N = 194, majoritariamente da Região de Biobío), com a Escala de Bem-Estar Espiritual (SWBS) de Paloutzian e Ellison. A comunidade relatou níveis elevados de bem-estar espiritual (SWB), religioso (RWB) e existencial (EWB). O achado central foi uma dissociação parcial: aqueles que relataram ansiedade, estresse ou problemas familiares obtiveram níveis menores, com o maior efeito no bem-estar existencial (δ de Cliff = 0,61) e um efeito menor no religioso (δ = 0,33), que ainda assim se situou no nível elevado; os adultos de 36 anos ou mais pontuaram mais alto do que os de 35 anos ou menos (δ = 0,48–0,49). Não foram encontradas diferenças por sexo nem por isolamento. O elevado bem-estar coincidiu com uma participação quase universal em serviços religiosos virtuais, embora o delineamento transversal e a escassa variabilidade dessa participação impeçam inferências causais. Até onde sabemos, este é um dos primeiros estudos sobre bem-estar espiritual nessa comunidade na América Latina. Esses resultados, de caráter exploratório, devem ser lidos com cautela: sua principal limitação é o caráter de conveniência e regional da amostra.
