AB  - The present study was conducted to assess the effect of spiritual care in 
      patients with depression, anxiety or both in a randomized controlled design. The 
      participants were randomized either to receive spiritual care or not and Hamilton 
      anxiety rating scale-A (HAM-A), Hamilton depression rating scale-D (HAM-D), 
      WHO-quality of life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) and Functional assessment of chronic 
      illness therapy - Spiritual well-being (FACIT-Sp) were assessed before therapy 
      and two follow-ups at 3 and 6 week. However, with regard to the spiritual care 
      therapy group, statistically significant differences were observed in both HAM-A 
      and HAM-D scales between the baseline and visit 2 (p < 0.001), thus significantly 
      reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. No statistically 
      significant differences were observed for any of the scales during the follow-up 
      periods for the control group of participants. When the scores were compared 
      between the study groups, HAM-A, HAM-D and FACIT-Sp 12 scores were significantly 
      lower in the interventional group as compared to the control group at both third 
      and sixth weeks. This suggests a significant improvement in symptoms of anxiety 
      and depression in the spiritual care therapy group than the control group; 
      however, large randomized controlled trials with robust design are needed to 
      confirm the same.
