St. Ignatius of Loyola created The Examination of Conscience (The Examen) as a daily practice for spiritual and moral formation by cultivating awareness, gratitude, and generosity. For five hundred years, people of various cultures and creeds have learned The Examen from the Jesuits and adapted it for personal reflection and spiritual growth. The practice of medicine requires dedicated time to reflect on personal and professional development, to improve oneself and advance patient care and health equity. Here we present a model for use of The Examen in medical practice.
圣依纳爵·罗耀拉(St. Ignatius of Loyola)创造了《神操》(The Examen),作为一种通过培养意识、感恩和慷慨来进行精神和道德塑造的日常实践。五百年来,来自不同文化和信仰的人们从耶稣会士那里学习《神操》,并将其改编为个人反思和精神成长的工具。医学实践需要专门的时间来反思个人和专业发展,以提高自己并促进患者护理和健康公平。在这里,我们提出了一种在医学实践中使用《神操》的模型。
