Job burnout among medical sciences therapists has become a widespread crisis, associated with reduced job satisfaction, increased medical errors, and intention to leave the profession. Spiritual interventions have emerged as a promising approach to address this issue. This narrative review aimed to investigate the effect of spiritual interventions on job satisfaction and burnout among medical sciences therapists. Methods. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using keywords related to "spirituality," "job burnout," "job satisfaction," and "medical sciences therapists." Original Persian and English studies published up to 2026 that examined the relationship or effect of spiritual interventions on burnout and job satisfaction were included. Results. Of 217 initial studies, 26 met the inclusion criteria. Most cross-sectional studies demonstrated a significant inverse relationship between spiritual well-being and job burnout. Various spiritual interventions, including compassion training programs, mindfulness-based meditation, spiritual self-care programs, and religious-based interventions, significantly reduced burnout levels and increased job satisfaction. Conclusion. However, evidence from interventional studies was limited and of heterogeneous methodological quality. Existing evidence suggests that spiritual interventions can serve as an effective strategy to reduce burnout and increase job satisfaction among medical sciences therapists. Nevertheless, due to limited evidence and heterogeneity across studies, high-quality randomized clinical trials with long-term follow-up are necessary.
