Background: Pain is a frequently encountered issue in hospitals and has a high prevalence, causing detrimental effects if uncontrolled. Non-pharmacological approaches like Quranic recitation have been effective in reducing pain. However, further mapping is needed for the clinical application of this therapy in hospitals. This Scoping review aims to map Quranic recitation therapy for hospital pain management.
Methods: The literature research was conducted on PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Garuda, and Wiley Online Library, written in English between 2014 and 2024. Boolean operators (“AND,” “OR”) were used to optimize the search strategy, focusing on the terms “Quran” OR “Qur’an” OR “Koran” AND “pain. This scoping review uses the framework by Arkey and O'Malley. The article selection process was conducted using the Rayyan software program. Three individuals carried out the selection process, and the extracted data were then mapped, categorized, and summarized.
Results: The initial database search retrieved 250 articles. Ultimately, ten studies met the inclusion criteria and proceeded to the next stage of extraction and analysis. The included studies consisted of 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 5 quasi-experimental studies, and 1 case-control study. Most participants were likely Muslim adults, reflecting the context of the studies conducted in Muslim-majority countries. One study included neonates, highlighting the potential physiological effects of Quranic recitation beyond religious affiliation. The findings show that Quranic recitation therapy notably decreases pain levels, promotes relaxation, soothes the heart, and enhances mental health. It also boosts patient comfort, lowers heart rate, improves oxygen saturation, and alleviates anxiety. The numeric rating scale (NRS) is commonly used to measure pain, with Surah Ar-Rahman being the most frequently used chapter in the therapy.
Conclusion: Given the benefits of Quranic recitation in pain management, it is hoped that the provision of Quranic recitation therapy can be integrated into hospital pain management protocols as a routinely used complementary therapy. Future research should focus on establishing standardized methodologies for Quranic recitation therapy, including the duration of sessions, specific Surahs used, and uniform outcome measures. Additionally, exploring the therapy's efficacy in non-Muslim populations would provide valuable insights into its universal applicability beyond cultural and religious contexts.
