Religious-spiritual interventions in burns in Iran

Burn is one of the most severe traumas experienced in humans with severe pain. Some researches indicate the positive impact of spiritual-religious interventions on different aspects of burn injuries. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate articles published in domestic and foreign databases on the effect of spirituality and religion on burn patients in Iran. The present study is a review study, all Persian articles in scientific journals that are in internal databases including Database SID, Iranmedex, Magiran, Irandoc and external databases such as Google Scholar, pubmed and indexed in persian were reviewed for the purpose of the study. Out of the reviewed articles, 4 articles were finally identified and evaluated according to the purpose of the study. Studies that did not have the full text were excluded, as well as articles that examined only the prevalence of burns and studies that did not specify how interventions were performed. Findings indicate the positive effect of spiritual-religious interventions on increasing the ability to cope with burn pain. Therefore, it is suggested that spiritual-religious interventions in nursing care be more widely considered.
