Abstract

Occupational well-being and workforce sustainability in post-pandemic healthcare systems are at risk due to increasing emotional, ethical, and workload-related stressors that nurses encounter. Workplace spirituality has also been suggested as a protective factor, but empirical research remains fragmented and insufficiently synthesized. This integrative review aimed to synthesize the recent evidence on the role of workplace spirituality in the occupational well-being of nurses. A systematic search of Scopus, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases identified English-language quantitative studies published between 2015 and 2025. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesized using Whittemore and Knafl integrative review framework, with reporting relying on PRISMA 2020. There were five themes that included i) spirituality and burnout reduction, ii) organizational commitment and retention, iii) work engagement and job satisfaction, iv) spiritual congruence and interpersonal care, and v) spiritual leadership and well-being. Most findings demonstrated moderate-to-strong associations between workplace spirituality and decreased burnout, increased engagement, and greater organizational commitment. Nevertheless, these advantages were conditional and mitigated in the conditions of overwork, insufficiency of staffing, moral tension, and insufficient organizational support. This review offers a quantitative integrative synthesis of the first nursing-specific evidence to be published after the pandemic and shows that workplace spirituality serves as a complementary resource, rather than a standalone, to occupational well-being. The findings highlight important implications of nursing policy regarding introducing spirituality-based leadership development, ethical governance, and workforce support as part of the broader structural reforms.

Abstract

Introduction: Childhood obesity is an increasing public health concern in Malaysia, contributing to long-term risks, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and reduced quality of life. School- and community-based interventions have been implemented to improve dietary practices, physical activity, and behavioral changes among children and adolescents. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of school- and community-based interventions on childhood obesity in Malaysia. Methods: This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The literature search was updated in June 2026 and covered PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2014 to December 2024. Eligible studies involved Malaysian children and adolescents aged 5–18 years and examined school- or community-based obesity prevention or management interventions. Methodological quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute tools, and findings were synthesized narratively. Results: Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria of this review. School-based interventions commonly combine nutrition education, structured physical activity, and behavioral support, whereas community-based approaches involve family participation, digital tools, and environmental support. Multi-component programmes showed improvements in BMI or BMI-for-age z-score, dietary behavior, physical activity, and sedentary time, particularly when reinforced by parents or through digital platforms. However, variations in intervention duration, outcome measures, and implementation fidelity Conclusions: School- and community-based interventions show potential for reducing childhood obesity risk in Malaysia. Future programs should apply standardized outcome measures, longer follow-ups, culturally appropriate strategies, and multisectoral collaborations to strengthen sustainability and scalability.
