These findings are frequently framed around transdiagnostic constructs – dimensional variables that cut across traditional diagnostic boundaries – and hold great potential for overcoming limitations of traditional categorical diagnoses (e.g., poor reliability and construct validity).

The Influence of Spirituality and Religiousness on Suicide Risk and Mental Health of Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Despite the large amount of literature assessing how spiritual and religious beliefs have an impact on mental health and suicide risk in various groups of patients, few studies have investigated patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether spirituality and religiousness (S/R) are associated with the presence of suicide risk as well as whether those beliefs are also associated with the presence of mental health problems in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
