Reports the results of a survey examining religious denomination, belief in a higher power, church attendance, and religious coping among physicians (N = 130), nurses (N = 39), patients (N = 77), and families (N = 60). Differences are noted and discussed. Notes that while a large proportion of patients and families found religion to be the most important factor enabling them to cope, only a small percentage of physicians felt that way. Observes that the results of this and other studies may indicate a gap in religious orientation between health care providers and patients and that such a gap could hinder the recognition of and proper care for spiritual needs in the hospital setting.
报告了一项调查结果，该调查考察了医生（N = 130）、护士（N = 39）、患者（N = 77）和家属（N = 60）的宗教派别、对更高力量的信仰、教堂礼拜出席情况以及宗教应对方式。记录了差异并进行了讨论。指出虽然很大比例的患者和家属认为宗教是使他们能够应对的最重要因素，但只有一小部分医生有同感。观察到本研究及其他研究的结果可能表明医疗服务提供者与患者在宗教取向方面存在差距，并且这种差距可能会阻碍在医院环境中对精神需求的认识和恰当护理。
