ABSTRACT

Empathy is a well-established factor for a successful therapeutic relationship. Similarly, spirituality has demonstrated significance for many clinical outcomes. Although available evidence generally supports a relationship between spirituality and empathy, there is a dearth of empirical information examining the relationship from a multidimensional perspective. The Expressions of Spirituality Inventory-Revised (ESI-R) and Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) were used with a sample of both students and practitioners. Testing demonstrated a significant difference between students and practitioners for dimensions of both spirituality and empathy. Results confirmed that two ESI-R dimensions produced significant regression models with several IRI dimensions for both students and practitioners.

摘要

同理心是成功治疗关系的公认因素。同样，灵性已证明对许多临床结果具有重要意义。尽管现有证据通常支持灵性和同理心之间的关系，但缺乏从多维角度研究这种关系的经验信息。灵性量表修订版 (ESI-R) 和人际反应指数 (IRI) 的表达与学生和从业者的样本一起使用。测试表明学生和从业者在灵性和同理心方面存在显着差异。结果证实，两个 ESI-R 维度为学生和从业者生成了具有多个 IRI 维度的重要回归模型。
