“…Spirituality plays a pertinent role in the lives of patients and formally adheres to a specific religion and belief. According to Bornet and others ( 2019 ), spiritual healers and health professionals, who help in building care plans offer a better understanding of the patient, lead to better shared decisions (empowerment), coping and potential suffering. This embedded model can be beneficial and provides a better mechanism to formulate collaborations with spiritual care providers and health professionals.…”

The Coronavirus pandemic originated in China at the end of 2019, the virus festered there for four months before spreading globally. Impacting the developed and developing world including Indonesia. It has transformed social, economic and political practices social life, everyday habits and government policies, with multi-dimensional consequences on human life. The present study endeavours to explore the relationship between religiosity, social capital, and psychological well-being of the general public, particularly in terms of coping with the pandemic. In addition to this, the study aims to highlight the importance of public awareness regarding social distancing, use of religion as a coping mechanism, and living a healthy lifestyle during pandemic. For knowing the perception of the masses, an online survey by using a self-administered questionnaire was carried out among coronavirus patients, the general public, social media activists, students, and professionals across Indonesia. The findings indicate that the pandemic has altered the lifestyle of the masses in different ways and that people have varied perceptions towards this virus regarding its spread and preventive measures. The study also reveals that, social capital (β = .418, p < .001), psychological well-being (β = .343, p < .001), and religious coping (β = .145, p <. 01) have a significant amount of the variance of coronavirus situational stress (F = 69.77, p < .001, R2 = 0.485). Lastly, the study suggests that, adopting preventative measures, standard operating procedures that are sustainable and healthy forms of coping with the pandemic will be equally as important as medical care in order to contain and eventually eradicate the virus.

“…A national strategy would better prepare, equip, and guide specialised spiritual and pastoral care units in case of emergency and disaster, including highly contagious epidemics (Papadopoulos et al, 2020 ). Yet, it would also prepare all professionals across the system (Bornet et al, 2019 ), to cater for the spiritual support needs of patients, relatives, and themselves, in a time of severe spiritual suffering, and ethical challenges, around difficult treatment choices (Wakam et al, 2020 ). In fact, despite the increasingly recognised and inclusive role of chaplains within NHS England (Macdonald, 2019 ; Swift et al, 2015 ), frontline nurses continue to be key providers of spiritual support in emergency situations.…”

Spiritual support is a key element of holistic care, and better healthcare professionals training and stronger strategic guidelines become urgent in light of health disasters and emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the aim of this study was to explore spiritual support provision within mass and social media and the websites of spiritual leaders, institutions and NHS chaplaincy units during COVID-19 in England, between March and May 2020. A scoping review design informed by Levac and colleagues’ five-staged framework was adopted, and adapted with a multi-strategy search to scope the different domains of online sources. Results revealed that spiritual support for dying patients, their families, health care staff, spiritual leaders and chaplains, had to be drastically reduced, both in quality and quantity, as well as being provided via different technological devices or domestic symbolic actions. No mention was found of a central strategy for the provision of spiritual support. This study points to the importance of developing centralized strategies to prepare healthcare systems and professionals in relation to spiritual support provision, both routinely and during health disasters and emergencies. Further research will have to explore innovative practices, in particular the role of digital technologies, in spiritual support provision.

“…Spiritual healing is also one of the methods in Complementary & Alternative Medicines. According to Bornet and others (16) spirituality, that is, the feeling of believing that there is a greater power beyond the environment of human reach and other dimensions such as purpose, meaning of life, awareness of personal resources and the deepest feelings, personal integrity or connectedness. The scopes of spirituality consist of three dimensions (17), namely the meaning of life reflects the meaningfulness of life or the purpose of one's life.…”
