Scoping review explores definitions and applications of spiritual growth among patients and providers, indicating its relevance in healthcare settings.
This scoping review aims to map existing evidence on how spiritual growth is defined, contextualized, and applied among patients, healthcare providers, families, and students across healthcare settings. A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), CINAHL Complete (EBSCO), Scopus, and Web of Science, with the support of a scientific librarian. Three independent reviewers performed screening and full-text analysis using Ryyan® software; NVivo© was used for data extraction and synthesis. No time constraints were applied. The review followed the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR 2020 flow diagram.
