“…Musa (2017) recommended the need for studies that elicit what kind of spiritual care is being provided by Muslim nurses and the need for further education for nurses on this topic. The third study determined the experiences and perceptions of ICU nurses (n = 145) about spirituality and spiritual care using a quantitative descriptive design (Bakir et al 2017). The Spirituality and Spiritual Care rating scale (McSherry et al 2002) was used in this study.…”

Previous spirituality studies have mostly been conducted in a Western context (Moberg 2002;Koenig et al. 2012). However, an increasing number of studies are originating from Middle Eastern countries (Koenig et al. 2012). There is a need to review the current status of Middle Eastern research to identify priorities for future research. A search was conducted in two electronic databases: CINAHL and Medline. A final sample of 28 articles was included in the review. Eighteen articles reported on quantitative studies and ten reported on qualitative studies. The majority of previous research has been conducted in Iran (n = 16) and Jordan (n = 6). A total of 3096 participants were included in the studies ranging from 2004 to 2017. Two studies were randomised controlled trials. Most of the qualitative studies aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of spirituality from a Muslim-Arabic perspective. Qualitative findings have conceptualised spirituality as meaning in life, connection, peace and transcendence. In conclusion, there are both differences and similarities between Middle Eastern and Western research on spiritualty and health. Further exploration is warranted to include comparative studies between patient and nurse populations in Western societies and in the Middle East.

“…In fact, the terms spirituality and religiosity (S/R) have been discussed in health care for years (Lucchetti & Lucchetti, 2014). However, there is still a lack of universally accepted definitions and a confusion between them (Bakir et al., 2017). According to Koenig et al, religion is ‘the set of beliefs, practices, rituals and ceremonies that are normally acquired by tradition within a group or community’ (Koenig et al., 2001).…”

et al. 2021

Aim To investigate the effectiveness of spiritual interventions in the workplace for different health outcomes through the use of a meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials. Background Most studies including spirituality in the workplace investigated it at the organisational/business level, while giving a secondary value to the well‐being and quality of life of the workers. Methods Systematic review and meta‐analysis carried out on the following databases: SCOPUS, PubMed and Web of Science. Spiritual interventions investigating work‐related health outcomes were included. Then, meta‐analyses were conducted. Results From a total of 2,832 studies, 7 articles were included in the systematic review and 6 in the meta‐analysis. Spiritual interventions, as compared to controls, improved the health outcomes of the workers (standard mean difference (SMD), −1.42; 95% CI, −1.98, −0.86; p < .001; I2 = 96%). Subanalyses revealed that yoga was an effective intervention and that stress was reduced by these interventions. Conclusion Spiritual interventions in the workplace seem to be effective in improving workers’ health. Nevertheless, the high heterogeneity and limited number of studies may hinder more robust conclusions at the moment. Implications for nursing management The use of spiritual interventions should be considered in workplaces in order to reduce the stress and other negative outcomes.

“…While there is research on nurses' perspectives from a particular religious background providing spiritual care (Bakir et al 2017;Herlianita et al 2018;Abudari et al 2016;Pesut et al 2009;Taylor et al 2014) there is none regarding the effect of faith background on creating a healing environment. This research, which identifies and delineates the process of creating a healing environment, will describe strategies Christian nurses used in hospital settings where the nursing practice model and the hospital philosophy are jointly supportive of whole person care.…”

From Nightingale forward, nursing has understood that interaction of person, nurse, and environment facilitates optimal outcomes. Yet, there remains a need for research on the paradigm concept of environment and creation of a healing environment. This classical, grounded theory study aimed to identify (1) strategies Christian nurses used to create a healing environment and enhance well-being, (2) outcomes they perceived resulting from these strategies, and (3) factors they regarded as either enhancing or inhibiting the creation of the healing environments. A criterion-based, purposive sample of Christian nurses (N = 15) was interviewed between June 2013 and January 2014 until data saturation was reached. Data were analyzed using constant comparative methods in consultation with a grounded theory expert. “Charting the healing path,” the core category, consists of four phases: helping patients get better, fostering the healing environment, charting a healing path, and observing outcomes. The “charting the healing path” model informs development of the environment domain of nursing knowledge. Knowing the patient, the juncture of nurse and patient points of view, and the resultant nurse–patient partnership promote best potential outcomes to be realized incrementally during, and after, hospitalization.
