In the midst of the evolution of the healthcare landscape, the intricate relationship between spiritual well-being and overall health has become a focal point of research, prompting the conduct of a literature review to unveil the profound impact of spirituality on individual individual health aspects such as mental health, physical health, Quality of Life (QoL). In this research, a literature review approach is utilized. The data collection process consists of obtaining articles from three databases: Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar.
