Abstract
BACKGROUND Religious institutions play a crucial role in health promotion and hold significant influence in the public health field. AIM The aim of this review is to examine outcomes of health-promoting interventions involving the use of mosques as the intervention venue, its role in promoting health behavior change, and the role of theory in each intervention. METHODS A scoping review was conducted across 17 databases for relevant publications published up to and including August 2023 that involved the use of mosques as the intervention venue. Fourteen articles met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. RESULTS The studies featured a wide range of interventions. However, only eight of these studies integrated theoretical frameworks into their approaches, indicating a need for more structured guidance in this field. These theoretical frameworks included Participatory Action Research (PAR), the theory of planned behavior, behavior-change constructs, the patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) framework, and prolonged exposure techniques within Islamic principles. The review identified three main health-focused intervention categories: mental health, prevention, and communication, each providing valuable insights into initiatives within Muslim communities. CONCLUSIONS This review underscores the significance of inclusive and culturally sensitive health interventions, emphasizing the effectiveness of faith-based approaches in improving health outcomes, promoting positive health behaviors, and addressing communication and cultural barriers. The reviews findings stress the need for further research that incorporates theoretical frameworks and tailored interventions to meet the specific cultural needs of these communities, ultimately contributing to enhanced well-being within them.

Examining the views of operating room nurses and physicians on the relationship between professional values and professional communication. BMC Nurs 2022; 21:17. [PMID: 35031042 PMCID: PMC8759190 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-021-00778-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Professional communication and professional values are two basic concepts in operating rooms and should be studied more closely in view of the nature of work and the high circulation of patients in operating rooms. Methods The present work is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 603 operating room physicians and personnel selected from the public hospitals of Shiraz. The data collection instruments were the 41-item professional communication questionnaire and the 26-item professional values scale. Results The results showed that the operating room nurses and physicians perceived the status of professional communication and professional values to be satisfactory. As for professional communication, the participants’ perception of the domains of mutual respect and trust (p ≤ 0.001), teamwork (p ≤ 0.001), ethical competence (p ≤ 0.017), and workplace conflicts (p ≤ 0.001) was significant. As for professional values, only the dimension of care (p ≤ 0.016) was perceived to be significant. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found to exist between professional communication and professional values (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion Considering the significance of the concept of professional communication and its connection with professional values, it is recommended that operating room personnel and physicians receive systematic education about professional communication and the harms of destructive attitudes as part of their academic education and afterwards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increased interest in the role of spirituality in the cancer care context, but how it may inspire individuals to pursue a career as a healthcare provider is unknown. We sought to determine the relationship between intrinsic religiosity, religious identity, provider role, and spiritual motivations to practice medicine. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was administered to healthcare providers at a large, Midwest Comprehensive Cancer Center. The relationship between provider type, intrinsic religiosity, religious identity, and spiritual motivations to practice medicine was assessed with binary logistic regression. RESULTS Among 340 participants, most were female (82.1%) or Caucasian (82.6%) and identified as being religious (57.5%); median age was 35 years (IQR: 31-48). Providers included nurses (64.7%), physicians (17.9%), and "other" (17.4%). Compared with physicians, nurses were less likely to agree that they felt responsible for reducing pain and suffering in the world (OR: 0.12, p = 0.03). Similarly, "other" providers were less likely than physicians to believe that the practice of medicine was a calling (OR: 0.28, p = 0.02). Providers with a high self-reported intrinsic religiosity demonstrated a much greater likelihood to believe that the practice of medicine is a calling (OR:1.75, p = 0.001), as well as believe that personal R&S beliefs influence the practice of medicine (OR:3.57, p < 0.001). Provider religious identity was not associated with spiritual motivations to practice medicine (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Intrinsic religiosity had the strongest relationship with spiritual motivations to practice medicine. Understanding these motivations may inform interventions to avoid symptoms of provider burnout in cancer care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Providers often underestimate the influence of patient religious and spiritual (R&S) needs. The current study sought to determine the influence of R&S beliefs on treatment decision making among patients and providers in the context of cancer care. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the literature using web-based search engines and discipline-specific databases. Search terms included a combination of the following Medical Subject Headings and key terms: "cancer,""spirituality,""religion," and "decision making." We used Covidence to screen relevant studies and extracted data into Microsoft Excel. RESULTS Among 311 screened studies, 32 met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Most studies evaluated the patient perspective (n = 29), while 2 studies evaluated the provider perspective and 1 study examined both. In assessing patient R&S relative to treatment decision making, we thematically characterized articles according to decision-making contexts, including general (n = 11), end-of-life/advance care planning (n = 13), and other: specific (n = 8). Specific contexts included, but were not limited to, clinical trial participation (n = 2) and use of complementary and alternative medicine (n = 4). Within end-of-life/advance care planning, there was a discrepancy regarding how R&S influenced treatment decision making. The influence of R&S on general treatment decision making was both active and passive, with some patients wanting more direct integration of their R&S beliefs in treatment decision making. In contrast, other patients were less aware of indirect R&S influences. Patient perception of the impact of R&S on treatment decision making varied relative to race/ethnicity, being more pronounced among Black patients. CONCLUSION Most articles focused on R&S relative to treatment decision making at the end of life, even though R&S appeared important across the care continuum. To improve patient-centered cancer care, providers need to be more aware of the impact of R&S on treatment decision making.

Abstract
PURPOSE The provision of spiritual care by an interprofessional healthcare team is an important, yet frequently neglected, component of patient-centered cancer care. The current study aimed to assess the relationship between individual and occupational factors of healthcare providers and their self-reported observations and behaviors regarding spiritual care in the oncologic encounter. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was administered to healthcare providers employed at a large Comprehensive Cancer Center. Pearson's chi-square test and logistic regression were used to determine potential associations between provider factors and their observations and behaviors regarding spiritual care. RESULTS Among the participants emailed, 420 followed the survey link, with 340 (80.8%) participants completing the survey. Most participants were female (82.1%) and Caucasian (82.6%) with a median age was 35 years (IQR: 31-48). Providers included nurses (64.7%), physicians (17.9%), and "other" providers (17.4%). There was a difference in provider observations about discussing patient issues around religion and spirituality (R&S). Specifically, nurses more frequently inquired about R&S (60.3%), while physicians were less likely (41.4%) (p = 0.028). Also, nurses more frequently referred to chaplaincy/clergy (71.8%), while physicians and other providers more often consulted psychology/psychiatry (62.7%, p < 0.001). Perceived barriers to not discussing R&S topics included potentially offending patients (56.5%) and time limitations (47.7%). CONCLUSION Removing extrinsic barriers and understanding intrinsic influences can improve the provision of spiritual care by healthcare providers.

A mixed-methods approach to comparing perceptions of cancer patients' and cancer care providers' religious and spiritual beliefs, behaviours, and attitudes. Eur J Cancer Care (Engl) 2020; 30:e13390. [PMID: 33368724 DOI: 10.1111/ecc.13390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the perceptions of cancer patients' and cancer care providers' religious and spiritual (R&S) beliefs, behaviours, and attitudes. METHODS A concurrent, nested, quantitative dominant, mixed-methods design was utilised. Data were collected from patient and provider groups via online survey. Analyses include chi-square tests of independence and independent t-tests for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. RESULTS The final analytic cohort for the study included 576 participants (npatients = 236, nproviders = 340) with an average age of 47.4 years (SD = 15.0). Over half of participants were partnered (n = 386, 70.1%), female (n = 317, 57.3%) and had an advanced degree (n = 284, 51.2%). The most common diagnosis for patients was breast cancer (n = 103, 43.2%). The most common provider role was nurse (n = 220; 64.7%), while a smaller subset included physicians (n = 61; 17.9%) and "other" providers (n = 59; 17.4%). There was no difference between patients and providers in relation to R&S identity (p = 0.49) or behaviour (p = 0.28). Providers more frequently indicated that patients should receive R&S resources in the hospital (n = 281, 89.7% vs. n = 111, 49.6%, p < 0.001). For resource type, patients most frequently endorsed written resources (n = 93, 83.8%) while providers endorsed relational resources (n = 281, 97.9%). CONCLUSION Aligning patient and provider expectations of spiritual care will contribute to provision of optimal patient-centred cancer care.
