Background: Recently, the world experienced one of the most widespread and pervasive global crises, the mysterious infectious disease caused by the Corona virus. During this period, the tendency towards spirituality increased. The purpose of this study was to review domestic and foreign research in the field of spirituality in the corona pandemic.
Methods: This review study was performed by searching various databases using keywords spirituality, spiritual care, spiritual interventions, Covid-19, corona virus (in Persian) and English words Spiritual care, spiritual intervention, ژovid-19 & corona virus (in English).After removing duplicate and irrelevant articles from the obtained articles, 31 related to the field of spirituality and Covid-19 were reviewed.
Results: Spirituality is an important factor in prevention, coping, treatment and even dealing with post-coronary crises such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), death of loved ones, mourning and so on. Due to the importance and necessity of paying attention to spirituality during the Covid-19 pandemic, some countries have conceived of measures and offered solutions to improve the level of spirituality in this period.
Conclusion: Considering the effect of spiritual care and diversity in different methods of presenting this type of care during the Covid-19 epidemic, it is necessary to provide arrangements for spiritual care in various contexts, including community and clinical settings. Officials of the health care system should consider this type of care in parallel with the provision of other care, and contribute toits integration into the care context by supporting the provided spiritual care. |
