The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of spirituality, religiosity, personal beliefs, and previous contact with health issues on the level of empathy in medical students. Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Student Version, WHOQOL-Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs, and Duke University Religion Index were applied to 285 Brazilian medical students. The findings suggest that meaning of life and previous mental health treatment but not Religiosity were positively related to empathy. We suggest that more attention should be given for prevention and treatment of mental health issues, and further studies are needed to understand and replicate these findings.
本研究的目的是调查灵性、宗教信仰、个人信念以及先前与健康问题的接触对医学生共情水平的影响。将杰斐逊共情量表-学生版、世界卫生组织生活质量量表-灵性、宗教信仰和个人信念以及杜克大学宗教指数应用于285名巴西医学生。研究结果表明，生活意义和先前的心理健康治疗与共情呈正相关，而宗教信仰则不然。我们建议应更加关注心理健康问题的预防和治疗，并且需要进一步研究以理解和重复这些发现。
