We aim to evaluate studies dealing with the incorporation of spirituality in medical education and to list the most scientific productive countries in this field. A bibliographical review was carried out. The final sample comprised 38 articles, which were divided into sub-topics for a clearer description. From these articles, 31 (81.5%) were provided by US medical schools, 3 (7.8%) by Canadian medical schools and 4 (10.5%) from other countries. The studies in this review indicate a predominance of studies related to health/medicine and spirituality in US and Canadian medical schools. New studies outside North America are needed in order to address what is being taught, whether courses are evaluated and what is the student and faculty opinions regarding this educational topic in multiple cultures.
我们旨在评估涉及医学教育中精神信仰融入的研究，并列出该领域最具科研产出的国家。我们进行了文献回顾。最终的样本包括 38 篇文章，这些文章被分为子主题，以便更清楚地描述。这些文章中，31 篇（81.5%）来自美国医学院，3 篇（7.8%）来自加拿大医学院，4 篇（10.5%）来自其他国家。本综述中的研究表明，美国和加拿大医学院的研究主要集中在健康/医学和精神信仰方面。需要在北美以外地区开展新的研究，以探讨在多元文化背景下，不同国家的医学院校教授哪些内容，课程是否经过评估，以及学生和教师对这一教育主题的看法。
