This study was planned as a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. The sample consisted of 175 fibromyalgia patients. Data were collected using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, the Psychological Well-being Scale, and the Religious Coping Scale. Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation test and Multiple Linear Regression analysis. A negative correlation was found between alexithymia and negative religious coping (r = ? 0.377, p = 0.000). A positive correlation was found between psychological well-being and negative religious coping (r = 0.364, p = 0.000). The alexithymia was predicted by psychological well-being level (? = ? 0.629), positive (? = 0.170) and negative (? = ? 0.216) religious coping levels (p < 0.05). Negative and positive religious coping strategies can affect psychological well-being and expressive thinking in patients with FMS.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessAlexithymiaFibromyalgiaPsychological Well-beingReligious CopingArticle----10.1007/s10943-021-01294-734085189Q1WOS:000657603700002Q3
