Impact of The COVID-19 Pandemic on Spiritual Grace

The guidelines to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted the economic and social well-being of United States adults, and it continues to this day. This study assessed if social isolation and unmet physical or financial needs resulting from the pandemic impacted spiritual grace among adults in the United States. Results from a survey conducted from June through August of 2020 (N = 94) concluded that COVID-19 did not significantly impact spiritual grace, but Christians have an increased likelihood of experiencing positive spiritual grace. Given spirituality’s salutary health effects, further research may include how to leverage the resiliency offered by spiritual coping strategies that Americans can use during difficult times.
