The present research entitled " Exploring Efficacy of Spiritual-Based Interventions for Addressing Depressive Symptoms in Cardiac Patients among MENA Region: A Scoping Review" aligns closely with the research topic "Spirituality and Religion: Implication for Mental Health in Frontiers in Psychology. Depression frequently coexists with cardiac vascular diseases, making its management an urgent priority for improving patient health and well-being. In the MENA region, where spirituality deeply influences health, it is vital to employ culturally and spiritually tailored interventions. This scoping review illustrates the efficacy of spiritually based therapies, showcasing their potential as culturally relevant, non-pharmacological solutions for alleviating depression in cardiac patients. By embracing these approaches, better mental health and overall well-being can be fostered in this vulnerable population. The present research connects spirituality, mental health, and cardiology, providing insights into region-specific health practices that correspond with global initiatives to advance holistic, patient-centered treatment. The current research enhances understanding of psychosomatic health, mental health inequities, and global health practices by examining the practicality and cultural acceptance of spiritual interventions in the MENA region. The emphasis on a thorough examination of current evidence guarantees the manuscript's pertinence to the journal's scope.
