Seminary schools train clergy members, who have significant influence on the health-related environment of their faith-based organizations. The purpose of this study was to examine health promotion in seminary schools, including curriculum coverage of health-related topics. This cross-sectional, mixed methods study used print and online surveys. Seminary schools (n = 57) self-reported approaches to health and health-related curriculum. Most schools emphasized the inclusion of health in clerical practice, and healthy behaviors among students, and covered holistic views of health and self-care issues within their curriculum. This study provides insight into how seminary schools are training future generations of clergy on health-related topics.
神学院培养神职人员，他们对其宗教组织的健康相关环境有着重大影响。本研究的目的是考察神学院的健康促进情况，包括与健康相关主题的课程覆盖情况。这项横断面混合方法研究采用了纸质和在线调查。神学院（n = 57）自行报告了健康及与健康相关课程的方法。大多数学校强调在神职人员实践中纳入健康内容，以及学生的健康行为，并在其课程中涵盖了健康的整体观点和自我保健问题。本研究为神学院如何就与健康相关的主题培养下一代神职人员提供了见解。
