Undergraduate and graduate programs for healthcare professions are inconsistent in curricular offerings and incorporation of spiritual training. This study reviewed perceptions and opinions about spiritual care held by students at an American university. Data were collected using the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and one open-ended question. Findings indicated that many students were comfortable incorporating spirituality into practice, and they desired additional training. As to how students would apply spirituality to their practice, themes of facilitating connection, holistic care, spiritual interventions, and benefits of spirituality were identified.
医疗保健专业的本科和研究生课程在课程设置和精神培训纳入方面并不一致。本研究回顾了一所美国大学学生对精神护理的看法和意见。使用精神性与精神护理评定量表和一个开放式问题收集数据。研究结果表明，许多学生乐于将精神性融入实践，并且他们希望获得更多培训。至于学生将如何将精神性应用于实践，确定了促进联系、整体护理、精神干预以及精神性益处等主题。
