The natural science base of modern medicine influences the way in which medicine is delivered and may ignore the spiritual factors associated with illness. The history of spirituality in healing presented here reflects the growth of scientific knowledge, demands for religious renewal, and the shift in the understanding of the concept of health within a broader cultural context. General practitioners have been willing to entertain the idea of spiritual healing and include it in their daily practice, or referral network. Recognizing patients' beliefs in the face of suffering is an important factor in health care practice.
现代医学的自然科学基础影响着医疗服务的提供方式,可能会忽视与疾病相关的精神因素。这里呈现的治疗中的灵性历史反映了科学知识的增长、宗教复兴的需求以及在更广泛文化背景下对健康概念理解的转变。全科医生一直愿意接纳灵性治疗的理念,并将其纳入日常实践或转诊网络。在医疗实践中,认识到患者面对痛苦时的信仰是一个重要因素。
