While mental health care needs have increased during the global pandemic, access to care has been reduced. Easily accessible alternative interventions may supplement existing mental health services to meet the increased need of mental health care. Our review explored the evidence of two alternative interventions, religious/spiritual (R/S) singing and R/S movement (dynamic meditation and praise dance), in relation to mental health outcomes.
After registering with PROSPERO (CRD42020189495), a systematic search of three major databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO) was undertaken using predetermined eligibility criteria. Reference lists of identified papers and additional sources such as Google Scholar were searched. Quality of studies was assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Data was extracted, tabulated, and synthesised according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines.
Seven of the 259 identified studies met inclusion criteria. Three studies considered R/S singing, while four considered R/S movement. In R/S movements, three studies considered dynamic meditation while one investigated praise dance. Although moderate to poor in quality, included studies indicated a positive trend for the effectiveness of R/S singing and movement in dealing with mental health concerns.
While R/S singing and R/S movement (praise dance and dynamic meditation) may be of value as mental health strategies, findings of the review need to be considered with caution due to methodological constraints. The limited number and poor quality of included studies highlight the need for further quality research in these R/S practices in mental health.
在全球大流行期间，心理健康护理需求增加，但获得护理的机会却减少了。易于获取的替代干预措施可以补充现有的心理健康服务，以满足不断增长的心理健康护理需求。我们的综述探讨了两种替代干预措施，即宗教/精神（R/S）歌唱和 R/S 运动（动态冥想和赞美舞蹈）与心理健康结果的关系。
在向 PROSPERO（CRD42020189495）注册后，使用预定的合格标准对三个主要数据库（CINAHL、MEDLINE 和 PsycINFO）进行了系统搜索。还搜索了已确定论文的参考文献列表和其他来源，如 Google Scholar。使用混合方法评估工具（MMAT）评估研究质量。根据系统评价报告的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南提取、制表和综合数据。
在 259 项已确定的研究中，有 7 项符合纳入标准。三项研究考虑了宗教/精神歌唱，四项研究考虑了宗教/精神运动。在宗教/精神运动中，三项研究考虑了动态冥想，一项研究调查了赞美舞蹈。尽管质量为中等至较差，但纳入的研究表明宗教/精神歌唱和运动在处理心理健康问题方面具有积极趋势。
虽然宗教/精神歌唱和宗教/精神运动（赞美舞蹈和动态冥想）可能是有价值的心理健康策略，但由于方法学限制，需要谨慎考虑综述的发现。纳入研究的数量有限且质量较差，突出表明需要对这些宗教/精神实践在心理健康方面的进一步高质量研究。
