Fostering Spiritually Supportive Work Environments in Healthcare: Leadership Recommendations From a Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSpiritual support creates a positive clinical work environment for nurses. The literature increasingly shows that spiritually supportive settings improve nurse well-being, reduce burnout, and elevate patient care quality.
aimThis narrative review examines how different elements shape spiritually supportive work environments and support nurse well-being, drawing on peer-reviewed publications from 2020 to 2025 and data from major national professional organizations.
methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed publications from 2020 and 2025, along with data from major national professional organizations. Findings were analyzed to examine how different elements shape spiritually supportive work environments and support nurse well-being.
resultsThe analysis reveals that spiritually supportive settings significantly improve nurse well-being, decrease burnout, and elevate patient care quality. These environments also yield organizational benefits, such as higher nurse retention and enhanced patient satisfaction. The literature highlights that spirituality and religiosity foster resilience, reduce moral distress, and strengthen nurse-patient relationships, contributing to a compassionate workforce.
conclusionRecommendations are to embed spiritual support in healthcare settings to mitigate nurse burnout and workforce shortages, ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care. Additional recommendations are to advocate for systemic changes, including spiritual leadership and inclusive policies, to cultivate environments that nurture both nurses and patients, positioning spiritual support as a cornerstone of quality, sustainable healthcare delivery.
