Religious and Spiritual Care in the Slovenian Armed Forces: A Scoping Literature Review

Religious and spiritual care of the Armed Forces has been known since t ime immemorial. In modern times, ongoing wars and conflicts emphasise the importance of the development and readiness of support systems that armies around the world have. In light of that, a scoping literature review1 was prepared to examine the current state of the provision of religious and spiritual care in the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF): to determine research already conducted on religious and spiritual care within the SAF, to identify practices, feedback, and needs regarding spiritual support for SAF members, and, through the findings and recommendations for the future, to ensure the effectiveness and quality of religious and spiritual care in the SAF.
