Background: The population of older people should be supported to enjoy optimal quality of life. Health professionals should consider a range of interventions that support the older population to maintain their quality of life. One such interventional approach involves spiritual care. Objective: To explore what is known about spiritual care approaches for older people living in the community. Methods: Scoping review informed by Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Eight electronic databases were searched: CINAHL, Ageline, PubMed, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health, PsycINFO, Scopus, Garuda, and Neliti. The review included quantitative and qualitative primary peer-reviewed research studies focusing on spiritual care interventions for older people living in the community published between 2011 and 2021 in English or Bahasa Indonesia. The search was uploaded into an electronic citation manager and imported into Covidence for screening. Results: A total of 29 studies were included in the review. While the studies were conducted in five continents, most were reported from the Asian continent. Five key issues based on the outcome of interventions were found namely psychological, physical, spiritual, multidisciplinary approach, and social connection. Conclusion: This scoping review identifies spiritual interventions conducted across many countries have been implemented for older people living in the community. Although there are review limitations and further research is needed, these spiritual interventions, both faith-based and non-faith-based, are identified as useful to support the well-being of older people.

Objective: To summarize factors contributing to the resilience of nurses in caring for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Methods: An integrative review was conducted according to the recommendations proposed by Whittemore and Knafl. Articles were searched through 8 electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Clinical Key for Nursing, ProQuest, Medline and Wiley Online Library, CINAHL, and Garuda, which are databases recommended by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology in Indonesia. Relevant articles published in English and Indonesia between 2019 and 2022, being quantitative or qualitative theoretical-methodological studies that analyzed or proposed factors to nurses’ resilience in caring for COVID-19 patients, were included, whereas primary studies that used review as a methodology to review an object of research were excluded. Results: From the 17 articles that were included in this study, 3 factors were found that contributed to the resilience of nurses in caring for COVID-19 patients, namely personal factors, workplace/organizational factors, and social factors. Conclusions: Understanding factors related to nurses’ resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic can contribute to meet nurses’ resilience both physically and psychologically. Good resilience of nurses during a pandemic is useful for improving nursing care services and patient safety, as well as for being able to avoid turnover intentions among nurses in pandemic time.
