目的：测量学生药剂师的灵性利用验证的调查工具，并确定有关灵性在学术课程工作和专业实践中的预期作用的看法。方法：这是一项横断面描述性研究。该调查提供给所有一年级学生药剂师在秋季学期（2012-2015）的第一周。采用描述性和推断性统计分析数据。结果：共有580名学生（98%）参加。大多数学生报告说，他们在一周的大部分时间里都有这种灵性体验，或者更频繁地有这种体验（58%到89%）。此外，57%的学生预计灵性问题将是学术课程工作的重要组成部分，75%的学生预计它们将被纳入最终的专业实践环境。这些感知与灵性和宗教信仰的测量呈正相关。结论：这些研究结果表明，教师应评估当前和未来纳入有关药学课程的精神和健康的主题。
Objective: To measure student pharmacists’ spirituality utilizing validated survey instruments and to determine perceptions regarding the anticipated role of spirituality in academic course work and professional practice. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. The survey was offered to all first-year student pharmacists during the first week of the fall semester (2012-2015). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. Results: A total of 580 students (98%) participated. The majority of students reported having each of the spiritual experiences on most days of the week or more frequently (58% to 89% based on individual item). Furthermore, 57% of students anticipate that matters of spirituality would be significant components of academic course work and 75% anticipate they would be incorporated into eventual professional practice settings. These perceptions were positively correlated to measures of spirituality and religiosity. Conclusion: These findings suggest that faculty should evaluate current and future incorporation of topics related to spirituality and health in pharmacy curriculum.
