Abstract

This issue of JORH provides the latest research about a number of well-known health care topics. Commencing with research related to diabetes and hemodialysis, it then revisits the role of clergy and religious communities, and the health of women and children. This issue also considers a variety of existing and newly validated quantitative scales measuring religiosity and spirituality. Similar to previous issues of JORH, the research within this issue comes from a diversity of nations, namely Africa, China, Columbia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Saudia Arabia, Spain, Türkiye, USA, and the United Kingdom. Finally, an epilogue notes the inaugural Australian and New Zealand Moral Injury Conference (ANZMIC 2026).

Keywords: ANZMIC 2026; Chaplains; Children; Clergy; Diabetes; Hemodialysis; Measurement scales; Women.
