AB  - The Covid-19 pandemic has brought forth global challenges in socioeconomic, political, and public health dimensions. For many, spirituality was a powerful source of support during this pandemic experience. The current review provides an apt overview of spirituality as a coping method to mitigate the mental and emotional impact of global turmoil of Covid-19 within the context of Europe. Using select studies from Czechia, Italy, and Turkey which have low, middle, and high religiosity indexes respectively, the potential positive effects of spirituality are examined across differing samples, geographical contexts, and traumatic events. We conclude that while spirituality is not a one-size-fits all method to mitigate the impact of trauma, exploration of potential interventions that also include spirituality might be beneficial for the field at large, and those affected by myriads of different acute or chronic traumatic events.
