| Summary: | The number of studies investigating the effects of spiritual therapies on the quality of life of women diagnosed with breast cancer is quite limited. This systematic review searched the databases "Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed" using the keywords "Breast cancer," "Spirituality" and "Spiritual therapies" and found a total of four studies. The scanning was conducted by two independent reviewers between March 19 and 22, 2024. Included studies were published between 2013 and 2024. These studies found that spiritual therapy has positive effects on the quality of life of women with breast cancer. It is recommended that studies of high methodological quality are conducted to investigate the effect of spiritual therapy on the quality of life of women with breast cancer. |
