Researchers are beginning to collect empiric data about coping mechanisms of health science students. Yet, there is an important aspect of coping with stress that is only partially addressed in health sciences curricula: students' spiritual well-being. In this essay, we describe a course in spirituality and health care that we offered to fourth-year medical students, as well as a small empirical study we conducted to assess students' spiritual needs and practices. We then offer reflections on the broad applicability of this work to students in the health sciences more generally, including suggestions for curriculum interventions that may ensure students' success.
研究人员开始收集关于健康科学专业学生应对机制的实证数据。然而，应对压力的一个重要方面在健康科学课程中仅得到部分探讨：学生的精神健康。在本文中，我们描述了一门面向四年级医学生开设的关于灵性与医疗保健的课程，以及我们为评估学生的精神需求和实践而开展的一项小型实证研究。然后，我们对这项工作在更广泛的健康科学专业学生中的普遍适用性进行反思，包括对可能确保学生取得成功的课程干预措施的建议。
