Abstract

Background: This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the perceptions of Muslim patients regarding spiritual activities, particularly the practice of solah (ritual prayers), and its multifaceted impact on their physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Methods: A systematic search across seven prominent databases, including Pubmed, Medline, SCOPUS, ERIC, EBSCO, MyCite, and MyJurnal, was conducted, with the inclusion criteria focusing on papers published between 2010 and 2020. The review uncovered several key themes integral to addressing the research questions. These themes encompassed perspectives on the influence of solah on patients' spiritual well-being and healing processes, healthcare professionals' perspectives on patients' spiritual needs, and the challenges encountered by healthcare professionals in supporting solah while addressing the spiritual needs of patients. Results: Notably, the review underscored a significant gap in evidence regarding the understanding of patients' perceptions, needs, and preferences in engaging in religious activities such as solah. Additionally, it shed light on the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in facilitating solah during hospitalization, potentially influencing patients' willingness to engage in these spiritual practices. Conclusion: These review findings emphasize the need for further research to bridge existing gaps in knowledge, ultimately fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between spiritual activities and the well-being of Muslim patients.
