Spiritual Care in Medicine: A Narrative Review (Oral) | Cureus

Spiritual Care in Medicine: A Narrative Review (Oral) | Cureus | AIHCP Magazine, Articles & Discussions | Scoop.it

Introduction: Spirituality is widely recognized as an important dimension of health, yet its integration into modern medical practice remains inconsistent. This narrative review examines existing literature regarding spiritual care in medicine, physicians’ attitudes toward spiritual discussions, and the role of medical education in preparing clinicians to address patients’ spiritual needs.



Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and other academic search platforms. Searches using combinations of terms such as spiritual care, physician spirituality, spiritual history, medical education, and religion, yielded more than 10,000 articles. After screening titles and abstracts, 38 articles were selected for in-depth qualitative analysis. This was done using a 15-question assessment tool designed to identify recurring themes, including patients’ desire for spiritual discussion, relationships between spirituality and health outcomes, physician preparedness, and the role of professional organizations and medical education in promoting spiritual competency. Most included studies were published within the past 10 years, with several seminal works included.



Discussion: The literature suggests that many patients value spiritual engagement in their care. However, physicians frequently avoid these discussions due to time constraints, limited training, and concerns about professional boundaries. Despite recommendations from professional organizations to incorporate spiritual care training, implementation within medical curricula remains inconsistent.



Recommendations: Medical education should incorporate structured training in spiritual assessment tools (e.g., FICA or HOPE), clarify distinctions between spirituality and religion, and prepare clinicians to recognize, address, and appropriately refer patients’ spiritual concerns.

A Survey of the Holistic Healthcare Approach by Healthcare Providers at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital | Cureus

A Survey of the Holistic Healthcare Approach by Healthcare Providers at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital | Cureus | AIHCP Magazine, Articles & Discussions | Scoop.it
Background

A holistic approach to healthcare treats the full person, not just the sickness or symptoms. This means taking care of their physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual needs. The relationship between healthcare providers and patients is built on respect, openness, equality, and mutuality. We conducted this study to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about the holistic healthcare approach among healthcare workers at a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Methodology

A prospective, questionnaire-based survey study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital after Institutional Ethics Committee approval. Data were collected over two months (October-November 2025) using a validated questionnaire covering three domains (knowledge, attitude, and practice), which was distributed through Google Forms (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, USA). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages, and inferential statistics were performed using the chi-square test.

Results

A total of 222 healthcare providers participated. Doctors comprised 128 (57.7%), and nursing staff comprised 94 (42.3%) participants. Overall, 222 (100%) respondents correctly answered that all healthcare team members (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc.) should provide holistic care. The majority expressed agreement that emotional support is as important as medicines, with 101 (45.5%) strongly agreeing. In practice, most participants addressed emotional concerns and involved family members; however, 183 (82.4%) had not received formal training in holistic healthcare. The chi-square test showed that the answers to the statements about attitude and questions about practice were statistically different (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Healthcare providers have excellent knowledge and positive attitudes toward holistic healthcare, with generally good practices. However, limited formal training and workload barriers highlight the need for regular training programs to strengthen holistic care delivery.

Integrative Role of Yoga and Naturopathy in Cancer Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review | Cureus

Integrative Role of Yoga and Naturopathy in Cancer Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review | Cureus | AIHCP Magazine, Articles & Discussions | Scoop.it
Cancer poses a significant global health challenge, with survivors often dealing with ongoing fatigue, pain, sleep issues, and psychological distress despite advances in traditional treatments. Integrative oncology has increasingly included yoga and naturopathy to address these complex needs and enhance quality of life. We conducted a narrative review of English-language studies indexed in PubMed and Scopus between 2000 and 2025, using the keywords “yoga,” “cancer-related fatigue,” “cancer,” “cancer-related quality of life,” “cytokines,” “naturopathy,” and “cancer rehabilitation.” We included randomized controlled trials, clinical trials, and reports on mechanistic or integrative programs in adult oncology populations; non-peer-reviewed, non-indexed sources were excluded. Yoga interventions, generally a mix of asanas, pranayama, and meditation, have been shown to reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve mood, sleep, and overall quality of life, especially in breast and mixed-cancer groups, with small-to-moderate effects noted in meta-analyses. Mechanistic studies reveal reductions in cortisol and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-1ra, indicating modulation of chronic inflammation and stress responses. Naturopathy-based programs, combining diet, hydrotherapy, massage, and lifestyle counseling, offer additional benefits in functional capacity, symptom relief, and patient-reported outcomes alongside conventional treatments. Overall, yoga and naturopathy are generally safe when properly adapted, with increasing feasibility for both group and home-based formats. Evidence supports yoga and emerging naturopathy-inclusive programs as safe, effective adjuncts for cancer rehabilitation, especially for fatigue, distress, sleep issues, and inflammation. Larger, mechanistically focused trials on combined yoga-naturopathy approaches are needed to improve personalization and implementation in routine cancer care.

Mental Health: From Cost Center to Strategic Advantage

 

Employee mental health isn't just a wellbeing issue — it's a performance and cost issue. As Hayden Goethe points out in his article, the difference between a “check-the-box” program and a measurable mental health strategy can define organizational resilience and credibility. When leaders view mental health as a strategic lever — not an HR formality — they reduce hidden costs, strengthen engagement, and retain top talent. It’s time to build the business case for mental health with data, not assumption.
