This study compares the views on spirituality of dually diagnosed patients (diagnosed with both substance abuse and general psychiatric disorders) and medical students in order to investigate their respective orientations toward spirituality and their views of the importance of spirituality in the treatment of addiction. We administered a modified version of Feagin's "Orientation to Life and God Scale" to assess religious and spiritual orientation in both the patients and students. A second series of items was developed and administered in order to compare the patients' and students' perceptions of the relative importance of a religious and spiritual orientation in substance abuse treatment. A third series of items was also given to compare the nature of religious and health-related services on the inpatient unit that patients and students most wanted to see improved. We found that the medical students responsible for treating substance abuse are significantly less religiously and spirituality oriented than the patients they treat, and that the students do not indicate that spirituality is an important component in the care of these patients. It may be clinically relevant to train medical students in the potential importance of spirituality in addiction treatment so that they can incorporate spirituality into the treatment of addictions.
本研究比较了双重诊断患者（同时被诊断为物质滥用和一般精神疾病）和医学生对灵性的看法，以调查他们各自对灵性的取向以及他们对灵性在成瘾治疗中的重要性的看法。我们使用了费金的《生活与上帝取向量表》的修改版来评估患者和学生的宗教和灵性取向。开发并实施了第二组项目，以比较患者和学生对宗教和灵性取向在物质滥用治疗中相对重要性的看法。还给出了第三组项目，以比较患者和学生最希望看到改善的住院单元中宗教和健康相关服务的性质。我们发现，负责治疗物质滥用的医学生在宗教和灵性取向上明显低于他们所治疗的患者，并且学生们并未表明灵性是这些患者护理中的重要组成部分。培训医学生了解灵性在成瘾治疗中的潜在重要性可能具有临床相关性，以便他们能够将灵性纳入成瘾治疗中。
