Patients with oral cancer frequently experience profound functional, psychosocial, and existential challenges associated with their diagnosis and treatment, often leading to unmet spiritual needs. Taking a spiritual history provides an approach to identify beliefs, values, and coping resources that influence quality of life and clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To synthesize evidence-based strategies for assessing patients\u2019 spirituality within oral oncology practice, emphasizing spiritual history tools, clinical impact, and educational needs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A narrative review was conducted using the SANRA tool as guidelines, focusing on peer-reviewed literature, clinical frameworks, and educational interventions addressing spiritual assessment in patients with serious illness, those relevant to multiprofessional cancer care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Instruments such as FICA and HOPE demonstrated positive effects on trust, communication, and adherence to treatment.
