The landscape of spiritual health and spirituality in Canada: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Currently, literature on spiritual health remains limited. Even more so, literature on spiritual health remains limited in Canada. This is exacerbated by the fact that spiritual health is a term that remains widely contested with no concrete definition. Meanwhile, the semantic connection between "religion" and "spirituality" remains ambiguous in the West and scholars hold different positions. In this paper, we outline our scoping review protocol to describe the current landscape of spiritual health and spirituality (in relation to health) research in Canada, including the meaning and understanding behind these two concepts.

Methods and analysis

This protocol for our scoping review is documented in accordance with the PRISMA-P reporting guidelines and adheres to
