Background In order to facilitate better international and cross-cultural comparisons of health professionals (HPs) attitudes towards Religiosity and/or Spirituality (R/S) using individual participant data meta-analysis we updated the NERSH Data Pool. Methods We performed both a network search, a citation search and systematic literature searches to find new surveys. Results We found six new surveys (N=1,068), and the complete data pool ended up comprising 7,323 observations, including 4,070 females and 3,253 males. Most physicians (83%, N=3,700) believed that R/S had "some" influence on their patients' health (CI95%) (81.8%-84.2%). Similarly, nurses (94%, N=1,020) shared such a belief (92.5%-95.5%). Across all samples 649 (16%; 14.9%-17.1%) physicians reported to have undergone formal R/S-training, compared with nurses where this was 264 (23%; 20.6%-25.4%). Conclusions Preliminary analysis indicates that HPs believe R/S to be important for patient health but lack formal R/S-training. Findings are discussed. We find the data pool suitable as a base for future cross-cultural comparisons using individual participant data meta-analysis.
背景 为了方便使用个体参与者数据荟萃分析更好地进行国际和跨文化比较，我们更新了 NERSH 数据池，以评估卫生专业人员（HPs）对宗教/精神性（R/S）的态度。
方法 我们进行了网络搜索、引文搜索和系统文献搜索，以寻找新的调查。
结果 我们发现了六个新的调查（N=1068），完整的数据池最终包括 7323 个观察值，其中包括 4070 名女性和 3253 名男性。大多数医生（83%，N=3700）认为 R/S 对患者的健康有“一定”影响（95%置信区间[CI95%]：81.8%-84.2%）。同样，护士（94%，N=1020）也有这样的信念（92.5%-95.5%）。在所有样本中，有 649 名（16%；95%置信区间[CI95%]：14.9%-17.1%）医生报告接受过正式的 R/S 培训，而护士中有 264 名（23%；95%置信区间[CI95%]：20.6%-25.4%）。
结论 初步分析表明，HPs 认为 R/S 对患者的健康很重要，但缺乏正式的 R/S 培训。讨论了研究结果。我们认为该数据池适合作为未来使用个体参与者数据荟萃分析进行跨文化比较的基础。
