Background: Diagnosis with a brain tumor is a critical event in the lives of patients and their families due to poor medical prognoses and complex clinical care. Spiritual care interventions have been known to have meaningful effects in morbid diagnoses and palliative medicine, but their role in the neuro-oncologic patient’s experience is poorly understood. This systematic review explores the role of spirituality and its relevance to patient care in the diverse setting of brain tumors. Methods: A comprehensive systematic review was conducted following PRISMA-SR guidelines. PUBMED was queried for studies on spirituality and neuro-oncology. Identified studies included RCTs, interviews, surveys, and case reports that examined spirituality in neuro-oncological clinical care, quality of life, and patient experience. Of 214 articles identified, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria, and the results were narratively synthesized. Results: Spirituality may play a significant role in mental well-being by reconciling existential questions faced by both patients and caregivers, and can serve as a valuable resource to improve mental well-being and reduce rates of palliative caregiver burnout. However, the paucity of studies examining the education and integration of spiritual awareness within the clinical literature warrants further study. Conclusions: While spiritual care interventions may improve the quality of life and mental wellness of patients and their caregivers, it is unclear how spiritual awareness and education should best be implemented. Further research is needed to better understand how key components of spiritual awareness can be integrated into medical education to deepen the patient–physician relationship and improve clinical experiences.
