Spirituality is important to many psychiatric patients, and these patients may be moved toward recovery more effectively if their spiritual needs are addressed in treatment. This, however, is rarely given expression in the psychiatric services of teaching hospitals. In order to develop this potential area of improved care, we (1) evaluated the differential attitudes of patients and psychiatric trainees toward the value of spirituality in the recovery process, (2) established a program of group meetings conducted by psychiatric residents and staff where patients can discuss how to draw on their spirituality in coping with their problems, and (3) established related training experiences for psychiatric residents. The results and implications of these three initiatives are presented.
灵性对于许多精神病患者很重要，如果在治疗中满足他们的灵性需求，这些患者可能会更有效地恢复。然而，在教学医院的精神科服务中，这很少得到体现。为了开发这一潜在的改善护理领域，我们：（1）评估了患者和精神科实习医生对灵性在康复过程中的价值的不同态度；（2）建立了一个由精神科住院医生和工作人员组织的小组会议计划，让患者可以讨论如何利用他们的灵性来应对他们的问题；（3）为精神科住院医生建立了相关的培训经验。本文介绍了这三个举措的结果和意义。
