Spiritual competence is important for counselors-in-training (CIT) to appropriately and ethically address client issues relevant to spirituality and religion (S/R). This study examined the role of CIT’s institutional religious affiliation, training level, counselor self-efficacy, multicultural counseling competence, and program S/R training environment in predicting student spiritual competence. A convenience sample of 109 CIT was recruited and a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was applied. Although all variables reached statistically significant correlations with spiritual competence, only three of them demonstrated practical importance to predict such competence. These findings provide valuable implications for counselor education and future research regarding student spiritual competence development.

有助于辅导学生精神能力发展的变量探索：对辅导员教育的启示

精神能力对于培训辅导员 (CIT) 以适当和合乎道德的方式解决与精神和宗教 (S/R) 相关的客户问题非常重要。本研究考察了 CIT 的机构宗教信仰、培训水平、辅导员自我效能、多元文化辅导能力和计划 S/R 培训环境在预测学生精神能力方面的作用。招募了 109 个 CIT 的便利样本，并应用了分层多元回归分析。尽管所有变量都与精神能力达到了统计学上的显着相关性，但其中只有三个表现出预测这种能力的实际重要性。这些发现为辅导员教育和未来关于学生精神能力发展的研究提供了宝贵的启示。
