“…Whereas most professionals around the world are trying to prevent further spread of COVID-19, spirituality, and prayer, which have received little attention, can calm people down. One of the most important sources of human character and identity is religion, which has not been considered deeply in clinics (29). It is believed that religions caused some problems during the COVID-19 pandemic (30), but Muslims have done valuable protective activities to combat the spread of this disease, such as canceling the Friday prayer and congregational prayer (31).…”

Context: The current world crisis, COVID-19 disease, is different from any other world’s previous crises since it has killed thousands of people all around the world and made the medical science desperate. During the COVID-19 outbreak, spirituality can be one of the proper methods to create mental relaxation. Evidence Acquisition: The present study is a review of the literature from 1978 to 2019. The search was done in electronic databases and reputable websites including PubMed, Medline, Springer, Elsevier, Science Direct, Scopus, and SID for both English and non-English language articles using the following keywords: “spirituality”, “prayer”, “and “some religious advice were assessed in times of crisis”. A total of 11 articles were selected for review. Results: The results indicated that spirituality could aid people to have mental relaxation in times of crisis and dangerous diseases. Some of the religious solutions proposed against the COVID-19 prevalence could be helpful. Conclusions: Since a long time ago, religions have attempted to provide behavioral pieces of advice in times of crisis to help humankind spiritually. In the present study, some of these pieces of advice are mentioned. It has been suggested that medical staff in hospitals pay more attention to the spiritual and religious beliefs of COVID-19-infected patients to improve their calmness and well-being.

“…The nonunivocity in prescription could also depend on the specific cultures, religions, etc., of physicians [ 178 ]. Prevention, diseases, and mortality may be different through different cultural–religious settings [ 179 , 180 ]. For example, religion can influence the use of contraception in very distinct ways; for Catholics, the use of medical or physical contraceptive methods is forbidden, while there is no religious opposition to any contraceptive method among Protestants or in Confucianism and Taoism.…”

There is an urgent need to optimize pharmacology therapy with a consideration of high interindividual variability and economic costs. A sex–gender approach (which considers men, women, and people of diverse gender identities) and the assessment of differences in sex and gender promote global health, avoiding systematic errors that generate results with low validity. Care for people should consider the single individual and his or her past and present life experiences, as well as his or her relationship with care providers. Therefore, intersectoral and interdisciplinary studies are urgently required. It is desirable to create teams made up of men and women to meet the needs of both. Finally, it is also necessary to build an alliance among regulatory and ethic authorities, statistics, informatics, the healthcare system and providers, researchers, the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries, decision makers, and patients to overcome the gender gap in medicine and to take real care of a person in an appropriate manner.

“…However, given the primary focus of recent research on predictive genetic markers (Ginsburg and Phillips 2018 ; McCarthy et al 2013 ; Chin et al 2011 ; Dzau et al 2015 ; Golubnitschaja et al 2016 ), limited information is available on the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on therapeutic outcomes. Concerning patient nationality, studies focusing on foreign cancer patients have evaluated disease incidence, treatment response, progression, and survival (Arnold et al 2010 ; Budde 2020 ; Budde et al 2019 ; Fischer et al 2019 ; Hemminki et al 2013 ; Mousavi et al 2012 ; Rudiger et al 2021 ; Spix et al 2008 ; Thøgersen et al 2018 ; Hjerkind et al 2017 ) but have not sought to identify unique patient characteristics that predict beneficial or unwanted outcomes of therapy. Thus, a deeper understanding of the impact of sociodemographic characteristics on therapeutic outcomes, including unfavorable side effects, is needed to further personalize healthcare (England 2016 ).…”

Background Major demographical changes in Germany commenced in the 1960s. Ongoing humanitarian crises in the Ukraine with subsequent immigration will have also long-range effects on national provision of cancer treatment. Ensuring the best possible outcomes for each cancer patient undergoing radiotherapy requires the prediction and prevention of unfavorable side effects. Given that recent research has primarily focused on clinical outcome indicators solely, less is known regarding sociodemographic predictors of therapeutic outcomes, such as patient nationality. Here, we investigated whether the severity of early side effects after radiotherapy are associated with patient nationality and other sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Methods Out of 9187 patients treated at a German university medical center between 2017 and 2021, 178 German and 178 non-German patients were selected for matched-pair analysis based on diagnostic and demographic criteria. For all 356 patients, data on side effects from follow-up care after radiotherapy were collected. Results Non-German patients were more likely to have severe side effects than German patients. Side effect severity was also associated with tumor entity, concomitant therapy, body mass index, and age. Conclusion Foreign cancer patients are at higher risk of experiencing severe side effects of radiotherapy, suggesting a need to develop and implement targeted preventive measures for these patients. Further research investigating factors predicting the occurrence of radiotherapy side effects, including other sociodemographic characteristics, is needed to better personalize therapy regimens for cancer.
